For the past couple of months David has been applying for med-school, DO school and also has applied to the Caribbean med-schools. He applied to 4 Caribbean schools but he had his top pick. He has interviewed at all of them and we waited patiently for the answers, especially from St. George in Grenada. He received his answers from the other 3 schools and was accepted but he wanted to go to St. George, so over 3 weeks after his interview he received a phone call and he is accepted to St. George... yeah!!!! we are going to Grenada.... how fun, beach and sunshine, I was all set. I was mentally prepared for 20 months on the island. The university said they would FedEx our stuff so we could start on the visas and housing and such. I received the package Friday afternoon and all I was reading was housing for England, visas' for England, living expenses for England. What!!!???? so I called up David and he called his advisor. Apparently David applied for a study program that allowed the student to study 2 semesters in New Castle England and then the last semesters in Grenada and David was accepted to that program.... so now we are going to New Castle upon Tyne, England. He is still going to St. George, all of the curriculum, teachers, tests, everything is from St. George, but the campus is in England. It is at the Northumbria University.
So we are moving to England on August 8. We will store all of our stuff here in Charleston and go back west for a short time to be with our family then head to England for 9 months then on to Grenada. Crazy but exciting times. I look forward to the adventure and experiences that await our family.

How fun!! I have a friend and his family who are in England right now finishing up med school. They did several semesters first in the Caribbean. They are coming to the states in October. If you meet a family with 3 young kids and mom pregnant with twins, they're the Brox family. Congratulations you guys!! Off for adventures. Hope selling the house goes well and very quickly for you and profitable. You deserve it!
Hey it's Melanie. David's Cousin. Creeped out? Remember we met briefly at my grandparents anniversary and Val's b-day. I found your family blog while searching Michelle, Amy and Elaine's blogs. I just wanted to say I enjoy your blog and am now a follower.
Life never is predictable!!! Just when you think that you know where you're going...bam...you are going somewhere else. I know this is hard with 2 little children but you have always been able to do hard things. My prayers are that you will be blessed like Lehi's daughters who were made strong so that they could bear their journeyings. You are such a precious daughter. I feel that there are reasons why you are making this detour. I know that God will protect and bless you.
