Feelin' groovy

So far nine law schools have emailed me and asked me to apply to their programs, including the University of Notre Dame School of Law, which is a top 25 law school, and Charlotte School of Law, who offered me a $15,000 scholarship for each year. I must admit that I'm tempted, but not tempted enough not to move to Nashville. Still, it's nice to be wanted.

Yesterday we made the announcement to the student body that we're leaving. It was not the most fun moment. And some students came to beg us to stay and offer all kinds of "incentives" for us to stay. Kind of awkward, but, once again, nice to be wanted. We had originally hoped to keep it a secret and just slip away at the end of the school year, but alas, that was not to be. The rumor got out, and then we just had to address it.

In other news: Michael and I both have interviews when we're in Nashville during spring break, which is way ahead of where we were last year at this time when we wanted to move. It kind of feels like everything is falling into place for us to leave for real this year, which is good, since we've already told everyone that we're leaving. I don't know what God was waiting for, maybe to teach me patience, or for me to rediscover some passion in my life, or for some unknown reason, but I do have hope that it will really all work out this time.

I'm praying for you both. In the interest of transparency and sticking to your theme: we want you to move to Atlanta. But don't worry, Nashville is pretty close and we'll be happy to come visit you there. That's awesome about the law schools---maybe God was waiting to lead you to that idea...in any case, you're going to be an awesome lawyer.

It is SO nice to be wanted! You are so cool!

I'm very glad things are working out better this year for the move. :) Tim and I are really looking forward to you guys living here. We're gonna have a good time. Justin, maybe you guys should move to NASHVILLE! :)
