It took RJ three application rounds to get into dental school. The first round was before we were dating and he kinda gave up on the dream. Then we got married and I had a moment early on in our marriage where I realized I wasn't fully supporting him in his goals, which was part of our vows. I didn't want to move away from our home. I didn't want to move to a new place, make new friends, find a different job, and miss out on the life happening in Seattle.
Today, I can say confidently that I am so glad I rallied with RJ and we are here, in Michigan, living our dreams. He is working his butt off in Dental School and I love my new job. We have made new friends and we even enjoy this city that God so clearly had in mind for us. I finally feel more present here than I have since we moved here in June 2012. RJ has already served in so many leadership roles and today he starts serving on the University of Michigan Student Advisory Budget Committee! I am so impressed by my husband. I am constantly inspired by his ambitions, leadership, and service to those around him. Such a proud and thankful wife!
