Adam left this morning for Alabama to renew his drivers license (long story about that) anyway, and to take 3 tours and visit with some people at potential Physical Therapy Schools in Alabama. We have really been trying hard to do everything we can to get into a program this year. We already visited University of Washington in Seattle on Thursday. The visit went well, but we are doubtful about being admitted there because of the competitiveness this year. We also have a visit/tour set up in Arizona at the end of the month. All of us will be going to Mesa...yeah warm weather!!! Adam has been working so hard to get into a school for over 3 years now.We have just been praying that he will be accepted somewhere. I have never known someone who is so passionate about what they want to be. He is dedicated to doing everything in his power to get accepted. Finally a personal connection to one of the schools we applied. Everywhere kept telling us, oh you just need to know someone. Well an old friend from where he grew up his attending PT school in Mobile, Alabama. Adams mom was inspired to call this friends mom and get in touch with her and her son. Good news for us we find out that she is a PT recruiter and knows lots of people who are on the admissions boards for some of these schools. His friend also knows the head of admissions in Mobile. They both said they will talk to them and put in a great word. Adam will also meet with him while he is down there and hopefully be introduced to some IMPORTANT PEOPLE! This could be the answer to our prayers. We have been greatly blessed and I know that the Lord will continue to bless us if we continue to have faith. I will keep you posted.

Ugh, sadly it's true- it's all about who you know sometimes. Good job on keeping the faith. It sure is hard sometimes. Yeah for Mobile! Only 9 hours South of us by car (sad how that seems CLOSE to us nowadays. Sure beats 9 hours on a plane!) Good luck with everything. Please do keep us posted!! PS- We're most likely going to be in your 'hood (Seattle) in the end of July. ;)
