Thursday night, Friday morning I woke up having remembered my dream! that in itself is a miracle. Then I told Bryan what the dream was about...that he had been accepted to Prosthetics school!!! But not too get your hopes up it was ONLY a dream!
Well, on Friday, Bryan received TWO phone calls. One was to set up a phone interview with California State. So he has set that up for Tuesday afternoon...the next phone call happened a couple of hours later...
We happened to be in the target parking lot when his phone rang and he thought it was going to be his parents, who were coming down for the weekend to spend some time with the YSA and of course KAMBRIA! So Bryan looks at his phone and I tell him to just answer it! Then he is talking for a minute about an email and what his correct email address is...
So he gets off the phone and tell me it was from Northwestern saying that they tried to send an email, but it came back to them. So she said she would send it again, but that she wanted to extend the acceptance to Northwestern!!!!
I about started to cry right there in the parking lot! I was so excited...Bryan even got teary eyed! I think we were in total bliss the whole ride home. We were going to go wash his car but both of us forgot because we were just thinking about Northwestern...so we got home and turned the car off and then I remembered and so we started the car again and drove back up the "mountain" and washed his car!
So we started to talk about everything we needed to do and whether or not he wanted to go to Northwestern or California...we still don't know.
But if we go to Northwestern, there is a MANDATORY tech camp in Chicago on Oct 2. That gives us one week. So we decided to just go and see and so we bought our plane tickets and rental car and hotel last night to Chicago, Illinois on October 1 so we will be there in time for the 2nd!!! Man is it EXPENSIVE to do this last minute and none the less across the country!!! But in the end this amount of money we just spent will not seem so much...it does seem like a lot right now, but in the end it will not. So that is why we are going and doing and then deciding...which so far is still only northwestern...California has not even offered Bryan a position yet. It might make it easier if they do not...but at the same time it would be nice to say Bryan was accepted to both. We shall see.
So next Monday we make our "trip" out to Chicago.
I had made a resolution, or goal to go on a trip somewhere this year besides Utah or Canada... those are typical family outings and I wanted this one to be different. So I have decided to make this trip to Chicago EVENTFUL and fun for us all, even if it is mandatory that Bryan be there! i am excited and will be spending this week getting ready and finding this to do there. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to go about finding things or already knows some things to do in Chicago area, I would GLADLY accept them!

mazeltovf!!!!! wow, what a blessing. how thrilling for the both of you. make sure that you do have fun in chicago. i've never been but it is one place that i would like to visit someday. i hope that all goes well...even though we don't want you guys to leave. :)
Congratulations Bryan! Have fun on your trip to Chicago. I wish I had a suggestion on what to do there but I have only driven though. I think it's hard to get tickets, but a taping of Oprah would be fun. If it comes down to California or Illinois, just remember: California rarely gets snow! Just kidding...follow what the spirit says is right.
Congratulations!!! Just remember that if you do end up in Chicago, you have friends who live within a few hours!!! Well, I guess it still isn't super close, but Carroll is closer that CO! We love you guys!!!!
Hey Eliza! Just so you know I'm keeping track of ya on here...sounds like you're doing great! You & Bryan are such a cute couple. And Kambria is just PRECIOUS! :) Take care, darling!
Love,
Cat
