Law School...SchoolS!!

So my blog is boycotting my ability to post pictures and video, so this may turn into a "words only" blog :( However we have been having a pretty exciting couple of weeks and I finally have some time to share. (although I am pretty sure everyone already knows where this is going!)

As some of you know Chris has been preparing to go to law school for a while now! Earlier this summer he took the LSAT (159) and has been analyzing and choosing which law schools he was going to apply to ever since. He has been gathering letters of recommendation, transcripts, and personal evaluations to start the application process. A couple of weeks ago he was finally able to apply!! WHOOP! ....and then the waiting started....or so we thought...

We have already heard back from 3 of the 7 law schools he applied to...an AMAZING blessing!
Here is the status of all the law schools he applied to:

Southtexas - pending
University of Houston - pending
University of Tulsa - ACCEPTED
Texas Tech - pending
OU - pending
University of Missouri - ACCEPTED
Oklahoma City University - ACCEPTED

We are headed to law school baby! Now it is not a question of whether we will go, but where we will go. So many options have been coming our way. What a blessing it is to have all of Chris's hard work pay off!

Now we are waiting to see if he will receive scholarships anywhere!Cross your fingers for us!

Old Post that didn't Post!

When Chris and I moved apartments, we moved wards as well. We are now part of the College Station 1st ward. Promptly after joining the ward we were called to be on the Activities Committee. Tonight was our first ward activity and it was awesome. We ate probable the best barbecue chicken we have ever eaten. Everyone was really nice and we met a bunch of new people. We stayed after to clean up and help get everything taken down and then started home. All in all it was a good night...UNTIL...I glanced down at my wedding ring. One of the diamonds was missing. Quickly we decided to say a prayer and headed back to the stake center hoping against hope that the diamond would be able to be found. A member of the ward had just got done sweeping the floor and by some chance he put the trash into a trash can that had just been emptied. Myself and a member of the bishopric started digging through the trash while Chris joined some ofter members of the ward looking on the edges of the gym floor. After about 2 min Brother Hickson said "Is that it right there?" There was my DIAMOND in the middle of the TRASH. It had been swept up not 5 min earlier. What a blessing!!!! We immediately said a prayer thanking heavenly father that we were able to find it. We are taking it in tomorrow to send it out to be put back in the ring!! We must be doing something right!

On another note we are almost moved into our new apartment. One new addition to our furniture was a large floral couch. We traded Jordan and Julia our pull-out couch for the floral one! Needless to say...I am not a floral print person (neither is Chris). SO we covered that sucker with a nice chocolate brown. I am in love with our new couch cover!
