Our good IVF news yesterday, turned out to be, only the tip of the iceberg. There was tons of other great news to go around!
Dave and Lesley have safely returned from their month long rotation/mission trip in Bangladesh! We picked them up from the airport late last night. We are so excited they are back in town. However, we also realize how little time we have left hanging out with them and other friends. They are actually moving the same day we are next week into their new house in Rochester. They will be staying here for residency.
In addition, JB's younger brother Matt got engaged earlier this week to longtime girlfriend Danielle Bare. We've considered Danielle a part of the family for years now already so it was about time that Matt made it official. Good job Matt! You picked a great girl.
We are also excited that so many wonderful people are coming to Minnesota to help us celebrate JB's graduation. Folks, he will be a REAL doctor on Saturday! My parents and grandparents arrive on Thursday as do JB's parents and his youngest brother, Rob (now the only one not married or engaged). In addition, our friend Bara arrives on Friday. We were disappointed to find out that Dr. Chris, our wonderful Nigerian host, is not going to be here for the graduation after all. He was only granted a one year visa (they are very difficult to come by) and wants to use it wisely. I really wish everyone could meet him!
Should be a very fun and very hectic week!

Congrats Matt!
Bare
Sorry to hear Dr. Chris won't be there. Maybe someday. And about the spelling of Danielle's last name. Though it is spelled Bare,which you have probably never had cause to see in writing, Wen, the "bear" reference does come up. For example: when she was little and at that time only had two brothers (now there is another brother and a sister) when her mom or dad would pick them up at the school, the receptionist would say over the intercom "Papa(orMama)Bare" is here to pick up the three little Bare's!
Wendi...I'm in Hibbing and haven't had much internet time, but I finally got to catch up on your blog and I am SO HAPPY that your IVF will go as planned. Can't wait to see you on Friday. HOORAY!
