EMORY!!!

So, who is the incredibly smart, very handsome man that will be making his way to PA (Physician's Assistant) school at Emory next fall? That would be my wonderful husband! Oh, yes, the Director of Admissions called Ben personally today to tell him he was accepted to the program. We are so excited. He applied to 8 schools all over the country this year. Though living in a new, exciting place like Portland or Arizona would have been fun, we really wanted to stay close to home. Emory has always been the first choice.
It will be VERY sad to leave Athens. We absolutely love it here and have made some very special friends. Though bigger than what we're used to, Decatur is another hip town that we will quickly become acquainted with. It is nice to have a plan and to know where our paths are leading us next.
So to celebrate, we went to our favorite local vegetarian restaurant, The Grit. I got the Death By Chocolate vegan cake for dessert (sinfully delicious!) and, of course, Esther wanted a treat too. The cake has a lot of coffee and chocolate in it, which isn't the best thing for a toddler after dark, so we treated her to some soy ice cream and blueberries when we got home. Below is her excitement over the 'special treat' as she calls it and clapping a congrats for Papa. More to come as we prepare for this quite large transition in life...
