best week ever

let's review, shall we? first i went out to california (read: great weather, inn n out burger, trip to vegas) to meet kim's parents. while i was there i found out i got accepted to med school here in illinois. then, kim and i set a date to get married--june 30th, in chicago. and then we came back to chicago and saw björk in concert. and THEN i found out i got accepted to the urban medicine program and will definitely be in chicago for the next 4-5 years, thus making pretty much exactly what i wanted to happen come to fruition.

oh, wait! did you hear i'm getting married? i am, i am! isn't that cool? you've really got to meet this girl--she's the best one of the whole bunch, and she's going to stick around until one of us dies! AND she's an illinois resident, so she cuts my med school debt in half! AND she doesn't mind the styling twist-tie ring you see displayed so proudly in the photo. AND she's even such a good and kind person that she puts up with me for hours on end without even rolling her eyes, even when i show off my radical dance moves in public (that happens pretty often). you will, of course, be hearing more from kim in the near (and distant) future, so stay tuned for an opportunity to get to know the incomparable, lovely, and utterly fantastic kim roth!

i can't tell if buying a lottery ticket right now would be greedy or just common sense--i'm on a roll!

Wow! So many congratulations to offer, I must bullet point them.
1. Being accepted into the med school of your choice
2. Being accepted into the program you hoped for
3. Finding the woman you want to spend your life with (she sounds great)
4. Writing such a vivid and interesting blog that I must continue to read :)

Congrats man.

I agree, it's like you're keeping us all in suspense now.

Anyway, big congrats to the both of you!

Jeremy, you're a man of your word! Thanks for the promised pic of the momentous "engagement-twisty in the desert" event initiating those romantic, creative, frugal acts that treasured memories are made of! It's been a whirlwind week of getting to know you and we've only just scratched the surface, but being pretty sure you're not an ax murderer, we're praising God for bringing you and Kim together!!

Blessings in Him!
your soon-to-be mom-in-law&love

We have just MET the incomparable Kim Roth and found her to be, indeed, Incomparable and Utterly Fantastic! Also perfect, in that she appears to be God's provision of the absolutely perfect lady for you, Jeremy. Many, many blessings and love to you both.

Way to go, Jermo!

jermy,

1) I found your blog. I think that makes me an Internet Super Spy. I'll be expecting my nametag saying such soon. You're crafty like MacGyver, so make something up.

2) I've seen your dance moves and they are definitely not to be eye-rolled at. In fact, I think they should be displayed more often.

That's about it.
