I can tell that we have definitely become more "Minnesotan" like. Brandon wore shorts today and I didn't even wear a jacket and it was only in the low 40's this morning! However, it is 59 degrees right now with the sun shining and it is supposed to get up into the mid 60's which feels so warm! It is amazing how much you appreciate temperatures in the 40's and 50's after going through such a cold winter. A couple of weeks ago all of the schools closed before snow had even started to fall because they were expecting so much snow and boy, did it come down fast! Then just last Wednesday, it was -4 when I walked downtown in the morning and it was -25 with the wind chill the night before...I was an icicle by the time I got inside. I am hoping that is the end of the winter weather though people say that they usually get hit one more time with a snow storm. Oh well, if we get some more days like today, I can handle it.
I am hoping this week goes by quickly since I am not a patient person. We find out where Brandon matched for residency on Thursday at noon. I have plenty to occupy my mind in the meantime, but it is still hard to wait patiently. We know that wherever we end up, we are meant to be. Our friends told us that they kept the following scripture in their minds during this time a couple of years ago, so I have had it posted at my computer for the last month or so:
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." -Proverbs 16:9
I will try to post on here as quickly as I can after the match to let you all know where we will end up for the next 5 years!

I love that Bible verse you posted! I am such a planner which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as the Lord is guiding my steps! Can't wait to hear where you'll end up!
Hi Honey! We are so anxious to hear where you end up too! I think you have done a great job playing the waiting game! That is not easy. Thurs. will be here in no time. Call or text us right away PLEASE...:) Our plane leaves at 10:29 am so we would like to know before we take off! You guys are the best! Love to you both, Mom
You are so right, Kristen...the Lord has a great plan for all of us. But I'm still praying that His plan for you includes staying in ROCHESTER! :-)
THURSDAY!?!?! OH MY!!! When can we expect a post?!?!?!?!?!
The waiting will soon be over. We know that God directs the path of those who wait on Him.
Good luck with the match! Can't wait to hear!
Agreed about the whole weather thing, it's amazing how warm 55 feels after teens and single digits! Enjoy the sunshine while it's around!
Matt and I are so anxious to hear where you two will end up. You both will be so happy no matter where you go, we just hope it is UTAH :)
I will be waiting by the computer and the phone to find out where you match. I am excited for you. I love the verses.
