YaY for Jordan!!!!

OK, I will keep this post short, but I just wanted to update everyone on the exciting new news for us!! As some of you know, Jordan has been trying to get into this Pre-Medical Master Program at the UNT Medical School in Fort Worth. It is a great program that runs full time for one year. It starts this May and he graduates May 2010. He got his acceptance letter on Friday!!=) They only accepted 100 applicants to the program so-YAY!! I am so proud of him and we are so excited=)
Jordan is really pumped about this program, as am I! He will be taking classes with the Medical School's professors and in there with the medical students, basically like your first year of med school. It is in Fort Worth, however, so we are sad that we won't get to move back closer to family for right now=(
But it is a wonderful blessing from God that we prayed for, and it will really be a great step in the right direction for Jordan as he is applying for Medical Schools this year and the next. Please keep him in your prayers-he is taking the MCAT again on May 1st and he is kind of stressed about it.  We appreciate your thoughts and prayers in this journey that is far from over=) Here is the website for the program if you are interested:

I'll do a 30-day challenge with you! I can give up fast food or something. I've already given up soda, but I did eat part of a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's this week. :) I weighed this morning though and officially have lost my 2 lbs. for the week! My ultimate goal is to continute losing 2 lbs. a week, but we can do whatever 30-day challenge you want!
