My Husband, the Pharmacist!

I have to start this story going back to a few weeks ago. First, Landon had an interview at Oklahoma University on Jan. 14 and after it they said that he would receive an email in 5 days to 4 weeks and it would say one of the following: denial, waiting list or accepted.

So..pretty much every day Landon anxiously checks his email and yesterday I'm at school when I get a phone call so I text Landon to tell him I'm still in class. His reply was "call me when you get out of class". As I read that my heart fluttered and I automatically thought that he had heard something from OU. Well, he's just a big ol' tease and it was nothing at all. That night I told him that when he actually finds out he better not just tell me to call him if I'm at work or school, just send me a text so I know...

Then again today while I'm in class Landon calls this time the conversation goes like this through text

Me: Hey, I'm still in class

Landon: Ok. Just call me as soon as you're out.

Me: Oh...you're so mean for doing that.

Landon: I'm just trying to tease you. I GOT ACCEPTED!

Right then I started crying and showed my friend the text. I really don't remember what my first thoughts were, it was just so shocking.

I cried the entire drive home from school just thinking about telling my parents. I cried thinking about living there for 4 LONG years and having our first baby away from home (there is no baby soon to come, but I hope there will be before the next 4 years pass). I cried thinking about Landon leaving in August and me staying here until January to finish my last semester of school. It was all overwhelming. I cried with my mom when Landon showed her the email, I cried when Landon told my dad over the phone. I cried when I sent Moriah a text and she told me that I just made her bad day worse because she doesn't want us to move.

After all of this I'm still so proud of Landon. I'm proud of him for getting accepted the first round of applications. I'm so happy for him that he finally gets to think about starting down the path of his chosen career. I'm glad that we can start counting down the last 4 years of paying tuition and buying school books.

Now, I'm still praying that he gets another email from the U of U to schedule an interview and that his interview with USN goes as well as the last one did. It would be a dream come true to stay here.

Regardless of how things turn out. I'm sure there will be more tearful days to come, but I have to count my many blessings. I'm truly grateful that with out fail, next year we'll start a new adventure in our lives.

Way to go Landon, I'm so proud of you and all your hard work!

YAY!! Don't be sad Amy! It'll be such a fun adventure! You and Landon will grow so close together being away from your family and only having each other. Think of it as a blessing for your marriage, and your family! I am so extremely happy for you two! Congratulations!
