The Best Day Ever

The day Trevor and I have been ever so patiently waiting and looking forward to for over 2 years is finally here!!
TREVOR HAS BEEN ACCEPTED TO ROSEMAN DENTAL SCHOOL!


Saying those words now, still doesn't seem real! I remember months ago, even years ago thinking about how great it would feel to finally have this acceptance, and it is even better than I thought. Trevor has worked so extremely hard for this. He deserves it more than anyone, and I am so glad that his hard work is finally starting to pay off. I feel so blessed to be his wife because I feel like I know better than anyone, and got to see first-hand just how hard he has worked for this and how much time and effort he has put into this. It definitely was not easy. Trevor has spent countless nights staying up until morning studying and focusing so much on his school work. That is one of the first things I fell in love with about Trevor. He always has a plan, and many times two or three back up plans, and he works on that goal until it is accomplished no matter what it takes. I am just so overwhelmed with gratitude for my sweet husband, and my Heavenly Father for this great blessing we have. I can definitely see how we have been blessed throughout this journey so far, and I know that Heavenly Father is taking care of us and has a plan for us.
So here's how it all went down: Trevor applied to 15 dental schools in June of last year. That is when the waiting game first started off. Then we waited and waited 3 long months without any word from a dental school. I still remember when Trevor texted me at the end of September and told me he got an interview at UNLV. I just started crying, I was at work but I just couldn't hold it back. I was so happy for him, because he needed that to show him that his hard work is being noticed. So we practiced almost everyday, going through interview questions and getting ready for November. Then on November 16, 2012, Trevor had his interview. We waited until December 3 and found out we would be considered for the second round of acceptances which wasn't until March. At this point we kind of thought that UNLV would be our only option for dental school, which we were very grateful for, but only having one school isn't the best of odds. So we started waiting again. Trevor was even making back up plans to start a masters program in case we didn't get accepted, which isn't even necessary, that is just how much of a hard worker Trevor is. Then in February, I got another text from Trevor saying he got an interview at Roseman. I couldn't believe it! This was just what we needed, so we headed up to South Jordan on Valentine's Day and I didn't even care that it wasn't the norm for Valentine's Day and not very romantic just traveling, I was too excited about the interview to even notice. After his interview, Trevor said that he felt like it went well, but that we would probably be placed on an alternate list just because it was kind of late in the year for acceptances. Then just a few short weeks later we got this great news! I am just so so proud of Trevor, he is accomplishing his greatest dreams. We couldn't even sleep last night, we just stayed up talking about all of our plans that we can finally start on now that we know. I am just so excited for what the next four years hold for us. I know that with Trevor as my husband, we will be able to accomplish anything that comes our way.
we've been waiting so long to drink that celebration sparkling cider!
