It is a VERY HAPPY Halloween! Jodi and I have some very, very exciting news to share. We received a call yesterday from Kaylee who was so excited that the scr...eams between tears were unintelligible. Finally, she got it out... "I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO UB MED SCHOOL!!!!!!!" There are no words to effectively communicate how proud we are of Kaylee and her accomplishments. I'm not so sure that it has even fully registered yet. Our little girl is going to be a DOCTOR. A DOCTOR!!! Kaylee, you are the most dedicated, driven, and hard working person that I know. You have worked so hard for everything that you have achieved and, as proud as we are of you, you should be very proud of your self. I have said, Kaylee isn't a lucky person. It's not that everything Kaylee touches turns to gold. It's that Kaylee MAKES gold out of everything she touches. Kaylee, you will be an incredibly valuable member of the University at Buffalo and UB Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences communities and as a member of their Class of 2025. Congratulations sweetheart, YOU did it! We love you very much and we are always here for you. Love, Dad, Mom, Ashley, and Amanda
