Sonny got an interview at Emory for January!!! Woohoo!!!
Sharyl is thinking about taking some culinary classes at the local college to fine tune some skills and maybe open a catering company in a few years...what do you think?

Introducing the future Dr. Centrael Tyson Evans

Sonny received his acceptance to Mercer School of Medicine last Wednesday. We are so proud of him!! We are still waiting to hear from Morehouse and he got an interview invitation for Meharry. However, Mercer is ideal for us. Congratulations love!!

So close yet so extremely far away...

Sonny and I have been apart 10 days, 4 hours, and several minutes. It has been challenging and feels like much longer than the actual week and a half. Sonny had multiple exams, a mountain of homework and tons of papers to grade and feels the stress of it daily. I seem to be on the opposite spectrum--trying to find ways to fill my time with distraction so I dont ache for him. Juno keeps me company as best she can but seems to be severely attracted to Sidney (I think he reminds her of Sonny and she misses her daddy too) so we have to share her. Also since Juno broke her leg is unable to get outside for her usual exercise so she is misbehaving which makes our time together a little stressful for me. Work is interesting and keeps me running, which I appreciate. I find myself looking forward to Mondays with a strange joy. My in-laws are wonderful, as usual, and I try to speak with my family often. Sonny had his first two med school interviews at the beginning of this month (Morehouse and Mercer) and we are waiting for an acceptance. Hopefully he gets a call from MCG to broaden his options. I am looking forward to October 28th when I can be reunited with Sonny for a few days. Stay tuned...

Nightmares

We both keep having these nightmares lately and I dont know where they are coming from. Last night I kept trying to pick up my son from a shady daycare and everyone was in my way and stopping me. Sonny kept stopping to talk to people, this fat girl got on the back of my scooter and I had to find a tactful way to tell her to get off because I couldnt maneuver with her on (lol, stupid, I know), and then all of a sudden I ended up on an airplane that flew just above the ground. Sonny told me that the night before he was having weird dreams too. Maybe its something in our food or watching House right before bed.

Juno's wound has finally healed and I am trying to work more on obedience with her since she had some minor relapses while we were on vacation. We are searching for my next car--looks like its going to be a Honda Element. We have ONE DAY to buy it when we move to Georgia so I am stressing out. I'm not looking forward to October 5th when Sonny is back in Utah and I am in Georgia without him...

This Week in Review

Good things that happened this week:
1. Sonny got an interview for Morehouse (hopefully he gets a few more)
2. I quit my job
3. We got paid
4. Prayers were answered
5. I [finally] cleaned the house
6. Scuba is getting better
7. Juno stopped peeing in her kennel and is an intimidating guard dog now (she has a deep manly bark now)
8. We spent some time with Dan and Erin
9. Sonny started his last semester at BYU
10. I'm NOT pregnant (hee hee hee, not yet anyway--soon enough)

Bad things that happened this week:
1. I quit my job
2. The house is clean (so now I have to keep it that way...uh-oh...)
3. Juno got cut and keeps ripping off her bandage

So, all in all a pretty good week. I'm leaving for Georgia at the beginning of October with Sonny for his interview. The downside is that I am staying behind without him. However, this is a huge blessing for us because I will have a good paying job and be able to support our family. I finally am done with a job that was not good for us and so many doors have been opened that it could only be a blessing straight from God.

So here we are in Athens, visiting Sonny's parents. Its been a fun trip so far: Sonny has been 4-wheeling with the guys and I went shopping at a huge outlet mall. We've been to the lake house, to Moorehouse Med School for a tour, Sonny went golfing with his brother Dn, and even sat in on a surgery at the office. Sonny has applied for med schools and we are waiting for his MCAT results. We have spent a lot of time just relaxing and I dont think either of us is ready to go back to Utah just yet. This weekend we are going to lake house for some fun in the sun. However, I think the highlight of our trip has been the birth of our precious niece, Georgia Dawn Bryant. She was born on May 19th (as is most of the family, which makes it even better) I think around 8:30 pm. She is probably the prettiest little girl I've ever seen. We are so excited to spoil her.
