MCAT, WEDDING, BABIES

My friend Ashley Gafa Higbee called the other day to let me know she is having a baby!!! We are sooooooooo excited for her!!! Turns out it is TWINS!!! We love ya Ashley! You are going to be a GREAT mom!


Derek's friend Mical Hanzal from the Czech Republic is going to be getting married in the temple this August! Derek was able to baptize him and give him the priesthood. He just got off his mission in Sep. from Germany. We are so proud of him and love him like a brother!


AND last for good news....... Da da da.....
Derek's MCAT scores came this morning.........
SCROLL DOWN



























31

YAY FOR DEREK!!!! For those who don't know how to interpret the score this is a good score! It was higher than we were expecting, so we are VERY pleased! I'm so proud of Derek! He has studied so hard and put a lot of time into getting straight A's this semester and working for the mcat and I couldn't be more proud and happy for him!!!
We have decided that he is going to retake it even though he got such a good score. We have a school we would like to try to get into and the better the score, the better his chances. Since he will have more time this summer to study compared to spring break for one week we think it will be a good opportunity.

He is currently working on his application and will be submitting it in June. Not sure when he will retake the mcat.... Hopefully we will start getting secondary applications in July and August and then interviews from there.

So....... Wish us luck!!!!! Thanks for all the support from our families and friends! We love you all!
