Just an update...

It had been 4 months and 16 days since Kyle had applied to law schools. We had only 1 school left to hear from. After trying to check his application status online and getting locked out, Kyle decided to call the school. He was told that his password had been reset and oh by the way...YOU'RE ACCEPTED!!!!! We were seriously so excited.

This whole process (school,graduation,LSAT(twice) and applying to schools) has been so frustrating and a hard trial of patience. I am so proud of my husband. He has overworked himself with school, internship, and taking care of me. He does such a great job.

One of the most difficult things about the last few months has been the unknown. The feeling like you have no control over the next stage in your life. Being accepted has given us that feeling of control back. Our first instinct was of course to go...after all, this is what we have been waiting for. However, we decided we wanted peoples advice and opinions on the school and most importantly, we wanted to continue to pray and receive guidance from our Heavenly Father. I have enjoyed hearing other people's opinions. Some have given there opinion in a "This is what you need to do" tone and others have done so in a "Here are some things to think about tone" For future reference, the later tone is much more appreciated :) We understand that everyone's own personal experience affects their opinion. It seems that a concern is the job market and we keep being told that it will be difficult for Kyle to find a job right now....right now. It is tough for anyone to find a job...right now. We understand that things may be difficult when Kyle graduates. However, no one can predict what the job market will be like. We have done a great amount of research on this law school as well as many other law schools. We have also talked to those that are in the specific field and office that Kyle hopes to work at. The majority of those have been positive and given us more confidence in our decision. We understand what we are getting into and know that by following the direction of the spirit that things will work out...that doesn't mean there won't be trials, but it will work out and we will grow from our experiences. So as of now, and unless the spirit tells us otherwise, Kyle will be starting at I am so excited to start this next phase in our life and so proud of my wonderful husband!

I love him...and I love the life I have with him.
