PA school, here we come...

we are very pleased to announce that shawn was accepted into Tuoro University's PA program!!! we are so excited and so relieved, i know many of you know exactly how that feels. he starts school in the beginning of july so its a little sooner than we were thinking but that's okay. oh, tuoro is in henderson, NV right outside of vegas, for those who don't know. we're glad that it's so close to home, many of you can come and visit on your way to cali or come see some shows on the strip and stay with us. it will be fantastically hot but what can you do? and shout out to my cousins down there...it'll be awesome to be down there with them. also we'd like to send a shout out to danny millward and michael evans who tutored shawn through the PA process, you guys are wonderful, thank you so much. ALSO a shout out to family and friends for their prayers and support. couldn't have done it without you! life is good.

love you all!

Well Congrats! I bet that this is just wonderful news for everyone. So glad you guys will be close still. None of this going to school in Philly. Hehe.

PS. When I got your e-mail I though you were going to say you were pregnent. New baby / PA School both very exciting.

hooray!! There is nothing better than the feeling of moving onward and upward! (I'm secretly jealous!) I'm glad it is somewhere close so we can still see you. You guys deserve nothing but the best.

AHHHH!! I'm SO happy for you guys! My friend is in nursing school at Touro and really likes it. I wish it were closer but what an awesome experience for you guys. And Vegas is a destination city so always a good place to get visitors :) We miss you guys and were SO excited to get Shawn's text the other night. YEAH! Ok, can you tell I'm excited for you :)

Mike and Emma said...

Phew! I am so excited for you. That is such a relief to not have to worry about getting in somewhere. Tell Shawn Congrats--and I'm sure he couldn't have done it without you, Katie. You're such a great wife/mother!
