It's Official

This week sums up a week of some serious life changes. Todd has just been finishing up applying to Law schools. For those of you who didn't know...Todd wants to be a lawyer! He decided about 4 months ago, and hurried and took the LSAT with 3 weeks of studying under his belt. We applied to about 13 schools, and thanks to his ever so helpful mom, got most of them done. The whole process was quite long, he put about 40-50 hours total towards the application process! The schools are located in San Fransisco, Chicago, Pennsylvania, Malibu, Los Angeles, San Diego, Manhattan, New Jersey, Utah, North Carolina, and of course Phoenix, but that doesn't count. We hear back in about 3 months so it will be quite a roller coaster seeing where we get accepted, and where we want to spend the next 3 years of our lives. It has not hit me yet that we will be leaving Arizona, but every once in a while I will really think about it and it makes me so sad to be leaving my home of 4 1/2 years. I have made so many good friends here and have enjoyed it so much. But at the same time, I am so excited to move away to a new place where we don't know anyone or the area and have to go through all the new changes together as a family. So we are crossing our fingers hoping to get into some of the schools we want!!!

I am in tears right now. I think after playing with Berks and you guys tonight didn't help either. I am sooo happy for you guys I can't even express. Todd deserves this success and opportunity. He is one in a million!! We are praying hard. Anyhow, once again this is heart breaking, but I know this will just be AMAZING for you guys. How fun if you ended up in CA with my parents. I can't even imagine that life style...I'm freaking out. LOVES

Wow, I didn't have any idea that this was in the works. Your family will go where your meant and suppose to be and then you can move back here. It was good for Tom and I to be away, on our own, in Florida. Good luck with the big decisions ahead of you guys.
