Go Devils Go!

For those of you who haven't heard already, Matt and I have FINALLY made our decision on schools...
Duke University

Suprised? Ya I didn't think so... for the most part the reaction we have been getting is, "Ya, I figured." Ha. I kinda feel like most people had made up their minds before we even had! We are getting really excited about the new adventures ahead of us, beginning with a true test of marriage - a cross-country move. We keep reminding ourselves that we are young, and this is such an oppurtunity that Matt's been asked to take part of, so why not? (Ok, you all know that a lot more thought went into it than that, but you get the picture.) We know this is just the beginning of a huge test of faith in God's provisions for us, but we are so thankful for ALL the support everyone has given to us. It has truly meant the world to know that whatever decision we made, we have friends and family cheering for us continually.

It looks like quickly our posts will be transitioning from application anxiety to moving boxes, trip detours, and apartment searches. Stay tuned!

Hi Matt & Ashlie,
Congrats on your(and God's)decision to go to Duke. Wow, so for two years we'll be rootin' for the "Duke Devils" now instead of the "Sun Devils". So fun to read your blog! You both will be in our prayers for all the gettin' ready stuff. Gotta have you for dinner before long.
Love you both,
Aunt Mona & Uncle Flip
