Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Daniel and I sure did. We went up to the Jacobs cousins in Sandy and had such a wonderful time with the Jacobs, Nelsons, Lakes, Swensons and friends. Our meal was delicious and the company enjoyable. We love love love our family! After we snuck out of the festivities Daniel and I went and watched Dark Knight, which I have to say was a lot better the second time around. I love the holidays! 
This will mark the first anniversary of Daniel and I and I'm so excited to decorate and shop and be with family! Eeee- so excited. Can you believe we've been married almost one year!? Plus we are stoked for Amy and Ben's wedding and to find out the sex of Matson and Aftons baby. Ye-haw, aren't the holidays awesome?! 
So just to keep everyone in the know, Daniel has been excepted to every medical school he has interviewed at, except the University of Utah but they won't let us know until March... I'm not too worried :-) Our choices are: Colorado, Missouri, Tennessee and Florida. We are still weighing the pros and cons of both and haven't decided where we will end up. Its an exciting time for us. Isn't Daniel so amazing? 
In other news, Stephanie crashed our family car this past month....
It was my fault, I'm an idiot. But no one was hurt, my car for sure got the brunt of the impact. The other cars tire got smashed and thats it. So we are in the market for another car. Not by choice so its really hard. We've never bought a car before! I don't like it :-) Daniel is gun-ho about it and being wonderful, but I just want a car and be done with it. We loved the Subaru but we test drove one and I freaked out so we'll have to have that be our second first car. Anyway, we are hopefully getting a car this weekend! 
I think that's about everything. Happy Thanksgiving. Dasvidanya:-)

Update

I guess its about time for a little update in with the Daniel Jacobs side of the family. Lets see... so an update in the medical school extravaganza. So far Daniel has gotten 7 interviews out of 11 applications. Two in Florida, one in Tennessee, Missouri, Colorado, West Virginia and University of Utah. And so far he has actually been to three (he is in the Tennessee airport coming home as we speak). Out of the three (one being very new) he has been accepted to both Rocky Mountain Vista in Colorado and LECOM in Bradenton Florida! Things went well in Tennessee so we are crossing our fingers. Its in a tiny town. The nearest Wal-Mart is in Kentucky and our ward will be in a different town. Nothing has been decided yet. And I am afraid that the decision isn't going to get any easier as he continues to go to interviews so we'll see what happens. 

Our Halloween was fun. Daniel went as Nacho Libre- it was hilarious he wore stretchy womans pants and everything, and I was a little devil (yes, there was a costume). To start things off the Beehives were in charge of the Halloween party for the youth. I was assigned to the food. It was a lot of fun. We had eye ball cupcakes and 'moldy' deviled eggs and oodles of candy. We played games and had prizes, I think it was a hit. Halloween night we went to a party at a fellow aspiring doctors house. We pumpkin bowled and blew up pumpkins with fireworks (yes, Daniel did more of the exploding part). I'll post pictures soon. Daniel has the camera so I can see the places he has been:-) 

We are anxiously awaiting the homecoming of Daniels younger brother Matthew. We are excited about new additions to the family, planning a wedding and so on. Its a crazy life for us Jacobs' but a fun one.
