THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY!!!
And we are ECSTATIC about it!!! It has been Joel's #1 choice since he decided to apply to dental school. We received the good news Monday, January 3rd in the morning while we were having a family breakfast before the rest of the holiday visitors went back to Utah. It was hilarious b/c we were talking with David & Emily (joel's cousin & his wife) just seconds before he received the call about how Joel could be accepted any day that week. It was serendipitous!
So come September 21st of this year Joel will start dental school. His white coat ceremony is a few
days before which will officially make him a BUCKEYE!
He has mixed emotions about it due to the fact he, along with every family member on mom skousen's side, has always been a Michigan fan. I told him that he'll have to shift his allegiance to OSU but he 100% disagrees. I'm okay with him still liking Michigan but when OSU & Michigan play he cannot wear blue... he must wear scarlet & gray b/c I fully plan on it. Anyway, we agree to disagree for now. But we are super happy and feel blessed that Joel is able to further his education.
To celebrate Joel's acceptance mom & dad skousen took us to Montgomery Inn for dinner. It was delicious! I had never been but I've heard about numerous times so I'm glad I finally got to go. Joel and I shared the ribs b/c I guess that's one of their specialties...and I enjoyed it! Our waitress even put bibs on us...key word "she" put them on us! I thought it was funny.
notice how we're wearing scarlet to represent OSU?
So people have been treating to buy me a SNUGGIE for years now. I have protested of course. Yes I am constantly cold (i am like my mother) but come on...a snuggie? The name alone renders it to mockery. So due to the stupid name I am refused to own one. I mean everyone tried to buy me one: my hubby, co-workers, friends, parentals.
Due to my euphoria of Joel being accepted to Ohio State, while at bed, bath & beyond I said something which I thought I never would, "Joel, I will let you buy me a SNUGGIE if you buy this one..."
I know...but the snuggie and I were meant to be and now we're best buds! I love my snuggie!!! But there are some flaws to my new BFF therefore, I have thought of a new & improved snuggie which Joel thinks we should market as the CUDDLY!
As you can see we're already proud to be BUCKEYES and plan on making all our immediate family members get Ohio State paraphernalia. Beware family...especially you little Roran!

Do I even have to tell you when your last blog post was??????? FOR THE LOVE update more! I feel so out of the loop!!!!!!!
So exciting. That feeling must have been amazing to get into your #1. Florida State wasn't our #1 since we wanted to stay in North Carolina, but it is almost just as good and we love FLorida. We NOW love it.
Grad student wife is hard. Hang in there. He won't be around...like...at all. I don't know how different dental school study habits and law school habits differ, but I am SURe that it is the same stress on the wife. Broke, alone, and trying to help where you can! You can do it. hang in there. Just know that this is a better life than no school at all!!
I am so with Meag! it is about TIME! more consistent updates please?? and that is so rad that he got in where you guys wanted. I miss you two but am glad you have your new snuggie friend to keep you company :)
So excited for you guys! I'm always a little disgusted to about Ohio residents who actually like Michigan. However, being a OSU student I think his allegiances may sway... Hopefully! You keep him on the straight and narrow and make him wear that scarlet and gray on game days!
Oh that is so awesome!! Congrats you two! We are so happy for you.
