Happy April!

As March comes to a close and we move into the exciting new world of April, we thought we would take the chance to get you all caught up on the world of Joseph and Maren. Our big news from March is that we finally closed on our house. That’s right, we are now officially homeowners.

The strange irony is that while we now own a home, it looks like it may be in the wrong location. On a whim, I decided to apply to Ross University Medical School in Dominica and they recently offered me a full-tuition scholarship with living expenses included. While we were very excited about UT Southwestern, we are now looking forward to avoiding the debt of medical school entirely while enjoying the Caribbean!

As we will be moving away to go to graduate school, tradition dictates that we can’t do so without making my parents grandparents in the process and making them travel to see their new grandchild. And while Dominica is further away than Columbus Ohio, we hope that both sides of the family will be willing to travel to visit the THREE of us. By way of introduction, this is Likely Muhlestein, so named from when we thought he/she was coming but were not entirely sure. Likely is likely to make his/her first appearance in mid-October.

Congrats!! The Caribbean, tuition-free school, and a baby. What more could you want? Boy, the Brent Muhlestein's sure seem to keep things exciting for everyone.

This was an April's Fool's joke, wasn't it? You sure got me for 45 seconds at least.

That would explain all the deleted comments LOL ;). I had the exact thought, but figured I would give the benefit of the doubt for at least a day since this blog was posted on MARCH 31st (which I'm sure was very much intentionally done). Boogers... ;)

Dude! You TOTALLY got me! I should have known you would be a punk like that. Congrats on the good April Fool's joke.

P.S. In my defense, I didn't read this on April Fool's Day, so I wasn't in the right mode of thinking.
P.P.S. You are a cheeseball!
