A Light at the End of the Tunnel

Talk about some answered prayers.

On Valentine's Day this year I got two important messages:

1. I had been pre-approved for a home loan.

2. Kody had asked to put his name on the wait list to come finish his last two years of med school at UAMS' northwest campus in Fayetteville. We would know by April 1st if there was any movement on the list -- he was number 3.

On March 14th (exactly one month later), this is what happened:

1. I found a house online I wanted to go see. I scheduled a showing for that night because I knew I would be out of town all weekend for my dear friend Erin's wedding. Kody was on his way up for the festivities, but I figured I would go see the house before he got up here. He ended up showing up earlier than I thought, so we went to see the house with my aunt and mom. (Just in case you're wondering, the house was a no!)

2. Kody and I go to dinner after house hunting, and he tells me he got a spot with UAMS in Fayetteville, he had decided to accept, and he's moving to Fayetteville this summer!

Best. News. Ever. Of course, Kody had been holding out on me for a week before he told me. He needed to make sure he was making the right decision (it is his career, after all) and then he wanted to tell me in person.

After three years of being in a long-distance relationship, there is finally a light at the end of this tunnel! I am so happy that Kody made the decision to 1. put his name on that list, 2. that he actually got a spot (we're talking 18 people out of 170ish+), and 3. that he ultimately decided to take the spot. 

Thanks to everyone who has kept us in your thoughts and prayers -- I am SO happy about this outcome, and I'm looking forward to spending more than a few weekends every now and then with my best friend :)

Just remember -- He is good, He is faithful, and He provides.
