Life changing decision

Friday morning started out just any other normal day we were headed to Des Moines moving July 1 had a place to live, friends already made, and everything seem to be in place and looking great!
We were packing boxes and clean up and Marcus checked his email he got the letter saying he got into West Virginia medical school!!! Marcus was happy to go to a DO school but with him wanting to specialize in medicine he didn't want to limit any of his residency options so in MD program got more opportunities. It was a very hard decision for us because in Des Moines has a lot of families young kids and moms in our same situation West Virginia didn't offer that we will be one of very very few that are married and have kids. It is more expensive and the housing is more expensive. To be honest I didn't want to go to West Virginia because of  all the hills!! I of course will go wherever Marcus wants to go and what ever he thinks is best for our family!
We did a lot of praying and Weighing out the option. With us paying so much money for medical school and all the time and hard work we want to give Marcus every possible opportunity and we felt the M.D. program will do that the DO program is great but is best for family doctors and not for those who want to specialize.
So within two days we were moving to a new state and her whole life is changing again!! We are looking for housing and things to do for our family! We are very excited and feel very good about the decision we have made this will bring all possible opportunities to our feature!
We are still planning on moving 1 July and think we found some housing it would sure be different than Des Moines but we are so excited for this adventure!! Marcus has never been to the East Coast so this will be a great adventure for us and will be close to Washington DC Philadelphia and New York!!
