Keepin' up with the Varners

We are so very excited! Kerry got the call that he was accepted at the Gooding Institute of Nurse Anesthesia in Panama City, FL. This is a huge thing for us! We've prayed and dreamed that this was the school for him, and now the choice is made. We would have been in Nashville if not for this, and if you know us you know how great this news really is. We want to be close to home. And to live in Florida?! How great is that!? Life seems to be falling into place all around us and we are just SO excited and SO blessed beyond belief. The only downside is another move. In the first 2 years of our marriage we will have lived in 4 different places. Yuck. You'd be amazed at just how much junk you accumulate and how NOT fun it is to pack it up and put it in a U-Haul and pray nothing breaks. At least this time we know it will be longer than a year (which when we leave here it will have been a little more than...). He is slated to graduate December 2011. Sounds like a long way off, but it also sounds like music to our ears! We plan to settle after that and build a house, hopefully in Covington County. Continue to pray for us! This is immensely wonderful and scary at the same time. A new place, a new job, new everything is all just around the corner again. Everyone we know already in the program promises that this is the toughest 2 1/2 years, but if we survived this long, we'll make it through anything I fully believe. And in 2011, the year he graduates, we will have been together for 10 years. WHOA. We also found out that Misty will be doing her residency in Little Rock, Arkansas, so that's at least 3 more years for Jonathan and her to be away. Maybe someday we'll all land back in the same general area. Until then, we'll keep on like usual!
