And the winner is...... OHSU!!!

The decision has been made! After being accepted to 5 schools!!, Gregg is going to attend Medical School at OHSU- Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland, Oregon! We couldn't be more excited for him as this is such an incredible opportunity and school! It wasn't a decision that was made lightly as the other major contender was Des Moines University in Des Moines, Iowa. We knew what an opportunity it would be to live closer to my side of the family, which would've been about a 3.5 hour drive from the Twin Cities and DMU was also an incredible school. But after really considering Gregg's options, the M.D. Program at OHSU is hopefully an opportunity that will not only open doors for him for his residency program but also for his future. OHSU is an amazing school that saw the potential in Gregg and we saw the possibilities in it!!

We knew that it would be hard to leave Salt Lake City and the proximity to all of our friends and Gregg's family as well as the decision to not make it closer to my family. But we knew that this was the best decision for our family as well as the best decision for the rest of Gregg's medical career. We are so proud of Gregg and all that he has accomplished! Congratulations, sweetheart on such a wonderful opportunity!
