JOEY WILL START MEDICAL SCHOOL at the UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA (TUCSON) IN AUGUST!!

Yes, a few tears have been shed!! Until this week, we were all so excited for Joey & Raegan to graduate from BYU next month & begin their new adventure in Virgina while Joey attended Eastern Virgina Medical School. It sounded like a beautiful place & great school. Secretly though, we all still had high hopes for U of A. We were told by many people that U of A Medical School seldom accepts male, white, Mormon boys from BYU. Eastern Virgina Medical School was much more expensive as well. Besides, it's just soooo far away (they would have been lucky to come home twice a year). Oh my gosh, I still think it's a dream...the Nelson Family & the Davis Family will have all our kids back in Arizona, sniff sniff!!!!!!

Joey & Raegan will be trading this...

and this...

for this!

Just for 4 years though...this is the only time Joey & Raegan are allowed to be a Wild Cat per Papa Jim. Once a Sun Devil, always a Sun Devil!!

This is how close our kids will be:
Aaron & Becki are 27 miles away in San Tan Valley, ARIZONA
Jacob is 45 miles away in Glendale, ARIZONA
Johnny & Jamie are down the street in Mesa, ARIZONA
Joey & Raegan will be approx. 118 miles away in Tucson, ARIZONA

WE ARE SO BLESSED!!!!
