"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11

Amongst the vacations in June, we were also in the process of moving to Birmingham.  It was a wild and crazy month.  A year or so ago, Bo decided that he wanted to go back to school to specialize in Endodonics. So he worked hard getting applications, essays, and recommendations together and we would follow the path that was paved for us.  I will brag on him- he applied to 10 schools and was asked by 9 schools for an interview; with most schools only accepting 3-4 residents per year, this made his chances of being accepted some where much better.  His first interview was in Birmingham, and as he was leaving the endo instructor caught him at the door and ask him to cancel all his other interviews because they wanted to offer him a spot.  In most cases, this takes up to a couple of weeks to find out.
So for 2 years he is in school, we have found a house in Hoover where we get to explore all the shopping, eating, and kid friendly things Birmingham has to offer.
