dr. g.- soon-to-be master of the platinum grill

I'll be honest... I just wasn't sure that I'd ever get to say this. But yep, it's true.

ADAM GOT INTO DENTAL SCHOOL AT CU!!!

This wild and crazy, swirly, twirly four year path has led to the dental campus three miles from our house.

And in the 'glorious middle' of this journey, the Lord has taught us about stewardship, surrender, patience, trusting Him, His provision, more about patience, and more about trusting Him. I can honestly say, I wouldn't trade the last four years of limbo for four years of control and our own way... not for anything! We are going into this next adventure with thankfulness and knowledge that, even though NONE of this 'makes sense' by worldly standards, the Lord shows His glory and His provision best in these circumstances that just don't line up with the way that seems most logical. We've seen it before, y'all. And we can't wait to see the Lord's hand in the next steps of this surprising, detour-filled journey.

And now the best news of all: if you have been waiting for the opportunity to get your very own diamond studded platinum grill, you can start your countdown. Dr. G., master of the platinum grill, will be making his grand entrance into the field of dentistry in a meer 4 years. It'll take you that long to finance one, so start saving your pennies.

What wonderful news! I'm so happy for you guys!!

Ben will (hopefully) be done with his PhD in 2011 or 2012 - right on track with Adam. Oh the joys of being married to a full-time student! Congratulations!

Kara, I will need to get some tips from you (and Christina, Jill and Jenn)) about how to do this well. :) Especially if you have any tips for budgeting...
Thanks for the encouragement!
