Well, Kevin sure hears Charleston (MUSC) calling even if there isn't a song about it! He loves the faculty there and continues to boggle me by saying "There are just positives and negatives to every program." What does that MEAN? "We'll just have to see." What does THAT mean? Your guess is as good as mine folks:) For those of you who may be losing hope that we're not picking your state...never fear! We have applied to 46 OPHTHALMOLOGY programs! And they are all across the nation so it's anybody's guess at this point. We're just glad we can say with confidence the Lord is in the details of our lives and wherever we end up will definitely be great for our family. We've learned so much in St. Louis and grown leaps and bounds as a family. We know it is where we were meant to be, even though it took us a while to figure that out!
Jillian also LOVED Charleston and was slap-happy that we were staying in a hotel. (She definitely wins the good attitude of the week award! The hotel we stayed in certainly was not luxury - toward the beginning of the week we got some neighbors that refused the flush their toilet, we think, and the place really started to stink. Anyway, my attitude failed me at times.) A favorite of the week was definitely the water taxi where we saw about ten dolphins (well, we're not sure if they were the same ones or not) just in the harbor between Charleston and Mt. Pleasant. We also went to the South Carolina Aquarium and touched a Sea Cucumber and a Horse Shoe Crab and some Anemonies (such a fun word), and even saw some sharks and a Nemo look alike! We strolled down King Street and pretended we were shopping. To end the week we ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and Jillian even ate shrimp. See, good attitude again! It was beautiful by the water and who wouldn't want to live by the ocean? So, I guess we ALL loved Charleston! We have a few fun photos to add later!

We walked a ton and got to see a lot of the streets in Charleston, until we got too pooped to go on!

Unfortunately the only picture of me in Charleston, but now we have a photo of us feeding our babies together.

Go Charleston, go! Go Atlanta, go! Go anywhere in the southeast so we can see you more! :-)
Hey Chels! What about Salt Lake?!? I know, wishful thinking on my part but I sure wish you lived closer so you could come laugh about our crazy Europe memories with us at lunch. Plus I'd love to see your cute kids someday, but for now I guess pictures will have to do!
So I was wondering where you guys were going to stay-- I guess the hotel thing is good news and bad news, depending on how you look at it. (Good news that you have your freedom and your room gets cleaned up every day, bad news that it costs money.) It's going to be so weird when you guys get back to a NORMAL life! It's been so long!
We're still rooting for Kevin to get into the MCW program.
I love Charleston! My grandmother lives in Goose Creek and we've been going there for years. My fav beach is Folly Beach, but really it is hard to beat the Isle of Palms. Good luck to you guys! When do interviews start?
