New Beginning

This is our first post on our blog. We have created this blog to keep in touch with our friends and family. The reason we wanted to start this is that we will be moving farther away from our families and this will hopefully keep them updated on the numerous changes in our lives.
The first big news is that in about 7 months, August 2007, we expect to be in Kirksville, MO! Well, this may not sound like an exciting move to most people, we are really excited as this marks the beginning of medical school for Mara. ATSU-KCOM is an osteopathic medical school. Kirksville is about 45 minutes south of the Iowa border and in the middle of no where! There are absolutely no distractions and should allow plenty of time to focus on studying.
