amanda loves to go to bed early. she was in bed by 930 tonight. if it wasn't for the bachelor, i think she would've been out earlier. i'm trying to convert her to 24, i think it's working, i hope.on to the important stuff, like a win for the steelers. i actually got to watch the whole game, first time all season i think, and it was great. amanda and i were dressed up in our steelers attire, we had some chips and dip, she took a nap during the 2nd quarter, it was great!!!
first week of the semester is in so we can kind of get a feel for our classes. first, amanda: i'm pretty sure she likes her religion classes and i know she already despises her math class. as far as econ goes, she doesn't say much, so it's a toss up. as for me, this semester is sweet. functional anatomy, therapeutic impairments, athletic training, personal training, and ethics. i'm feeling pretty good about it. 4.0? probably won't try that hard.
now, the grad school update. i still have no clue. so far i've been accepted to pitt, and have interviews with shenandoah and UNC. i also applied to VCU and WVU and haven't heard from either. VCU, not sure why, their program is ranked #25, relatively close, but i have no idea what's up. WVU, essentially my last resort and not on the poll. they had the most lax requirements for acceptance, ranked very low, not my top choice. lo siento mountaineers. one thing is for sure, no more acceptances=pitt. pitt is great, #2 ranked school in the country, also very expensive. toss up. unc, ranked #11, super cheap as soon as i can get in-state tuition, great medical school. shenandoah, our backyard. so many reasons for me to go to shenandoah. they have this really sweet dual-degree program and i can get a doctor of physical therapy and a masters in athletic training. looking into that option. so, it's pretty much down to those 3. it used to be two, that was yesterday. UNC wanted me to come for an interview. i didn't respond thinking they would let it go at that. today i get an email asking if i'm coming, and if not, why not. i explained and they offered to do a phone interview instead of having to fly back east again. so, cross your fingers.....i guess.

hey you guys i'm sad that we didn't get to see you while we were home. the kids and i went to NY and i didn't get your message till we got back:( hopefully you had a great time.
so a couple things. amanda you're looking great...how are you feeling? are you getting excited. like i said don't start worrying about be fat yet. you don't want to waist all your energy...afterall you'll need if for the fat feelings you'll have AFTER the baby is born...they're tons worse trust me!:) congrats on grad schools brett..so here's the thing. you want to be close to home. i know other things are important, but take it from me, nothing will be more important to you after you have a baby, then showing her to, and sharing her with the people you love. you'll regret it if you go away when you could be close, things just change when the bubba's are involved. i would say Shenandoah, but Pitt's close too, good luck making your decision. take care y'all.
Brett, I'm going to have to go with Amanda on this one, YAY for The Bachelor! Whenever we see you guys next, Justin and I have some gifts for the little one. :) P.S. Amanda...you look fabulous!! And good luck with grad school, Brett! I'm sure wherever you'll go, you'll do great!
We made a quick trip to Utah to drop Tanners younger brother off at the MTC on Wed... We went into the mall on Tues evening and I went into GAP to see you guys were working... I was hoping to see Amandas cute LITTLE belly :) We will have to catch you guys when we are up there longer and can do some things... Hope all is going well.- That is so cool about schools- I think UNC would be awesome... :) but that is b/c I love OBX- i have no idea if that is even close but it would be a deciding factor for me! haha
Oh yeah... Tanner just might beat you up if he see's that you have a steelers pic on there. He is all RAVENS!- His cousin is Todd Heap, so for the games he wears his jersey around the house... the other day I dared him to wear it to Marshalls- he DID! I was so embarrassed- totally white trash.
