The Phone Call

Julius was at his parents' house with four of our kids, he was holding and feeding Tanielu, while Mita'iga was following him back and forth in the hallway, Fipe and Tafiti were watching t.v. and I was across the street with Malofou at her appointment. He got the call!!

[INSERT PHONE CALL HERE]


He replayed it for me in the car (luckily he installed a phone recording app to await this ever so sweet phone call... we knew it was coming... we just didn't know when). I just couldn't stop screaming! I was so happy and relieved and excited and "aaaaahhhhh"! We're going to medical school!!!! (I know it's just Julius going to medical school and not all of us, but doesn't "WE're going to medical school" sound better than "Just Julius is going to medical school"? LoL.)
We were so excited! We were trying to figure out a cool way to share the wonderful news with our families. We called a family meeting for both our families. Everyone was ready for us to announce that we were having another baby. Haha. We were all sitting in the living room, I sneakily called Julius' phone so he could pretend he had to answer the phone... and then he played the phone call over a speaker... everyone looked confused but it was so quiet and they were all listening to the conversation. Tears were shed as they realized "We're going to medical school". Everyone congratulated Julius and each other... this journey is definitely a family affair... everyone was just so grateful!
We knelt together to give thanks to our Father in Heaven for such a SWEET BLESSING! It was a moment I wish I could have captured in a photo, all our family humbling kneeling together in prayer. It really doesn't get any better than that. We truly are blessed with the best family. They continue to support, counsel, and LOVE our little family.
(Aunty Via bought pizza for our PAH-TAY!.. She continues to do so much for our family. We Love Aunty Via!)
