Greetings from Ohio

Jill got her first shot at an interview for PA (physician's assistant) school this weekend in Marietta, Ohio. She was preparing all week long doing mock interviews with me, other family members, and my professor, who was kind enough to sit down with Jill and walk her through the interview experience. Good thing she decided to do all the preparing because it definitely paid off--she rocked it in her interview! 

The whole trip was quite the traveling experience. Thursday night, Jill and I drove down to Las Vegas to meet Jill's parents, who were coming with us. We woke up early the next morning to catch our first flight, which took off around 8:00 that morning. Throughout the rest of the day, we were making stops in Los Angeles, Cleveland, Columbus, and finally, Marietta. While driving to Marietta, we realized that it was 11/11/11 and that in a few minutes it would be 11:11. We decided to celebrate by going through McDonald's and all order hot fudge sundaes with french fries. The whole experience was pretty crazy funny but at least we can say that we took time to celebrate 11/11/11 @ 11:11.

 

The next day while Jill was in her interview, Jill's parents and I decided to tour around the town a little bit and then we decided to go down into West Virginia to check out an oil and gas museum. It was really fun to travel around the area that Jill and I could potentially be living in for the next couple of years. Jill finished up the interview by around 3:30 and then hopped in the car with us to drive up to Columbus. During the drive, Jill told us of the different experiences that she had and told us that she should be getting a letter in the mail within the next couple weeks letting her know if she's accepted or not.--so stay tuned!

We finished the night by going out to eat, stopping at Tim Hortons doughnuts, and watching the BYU football game at our downtown hotel. What a day! The next day we got up for church, stopped by the Columbus temple, ate at the"famous" Waffle House, and now I'm in the airport, writing my blog, and ready to go home and sleep. But the traveling doesn't stop here. We will be arriving in Las Vegas around 9:30 tonight and will be pulling up to Provo tomorrow morning around 4:30 in the morning. Let's just hope that there's no snow and ice on the roads...
