Wish it was an April Fools Joke

So we got the long awaited letter yesterday... Let's just say we wish it was a really bad April Fools joke! We had been waiting all day today to receive another letter from the U that said just kidding...APRIL FOOLS- You really did get accepted! The U was the last school we were waiting to hear from and our last hope of going to Medical School this year. We just want to thank everyone for the many thoughts, prayers, fasts and more prayers that were given in our behalf. We really do appreciate all of the love and support we have received through this. Ironically enough, Broc and I had been preparing ourselves for this news the last couple of weeks. Although our hopes were high and we were very surprised and disappointed with the news, a lot of our conversations had unknowingly prepared us, somewhat, for the rejection. That’s not to say that there were no tears or questions about why we didn’t get in, but we knew and understood that there could have been another plan for us during the next year. With all the prayers and faith that have gone into this process, both on our part and on yours, we felt comforted and relieved as the day went on. We know that the Lord’s hand has definitely been a part of our lives throughout this process and especially with this decision. Though everything pointed towards Broc getting in, we recognize that we have something we need to learn or accomplish over this next year. We are so grateful for these opportunities we have to grow and learn. We know that the Lord has a greater plan in mind for us at this time. Again we can’t say this enough, but we really appreciate all of your care and concern. We love you all!
