So if you haven't already heard.... we are moving to Washington D.C.!!!
Back in Feb or March of this year, Dan applied to the joint JD/LLM program at Georgetown University and just found out that HE GOT IN!
This means he will attend Georgetown for his third year of Law school and also be able to take classes to get his LLM which is a Masters of Law in Taxation.
We waited and waited and waited and never heard anything. As the Spring semester was ending... Dan called and they told him they wanted to wait for his grades to come back from that semester before they reviewed his application. At this point we were both thinking it was a VERY slim chance he would get it... not because he didn't do well this last semester... because he did - but because it had been such a long time since he applied and we just figured they wouldn't wait that long to tell us.
Anyway - July 3rd we were hanging out as a fam at home and Dan grabbed his ipad to pull up a game for Jax - he decided to check his e-mail. I was at a different part of the house with Addy and I heard Dan say, "oh my gosh" so I looked over and he looked up and said, "guess who just go into Georgetown!" I will forever remember the look on his face!
We were both obviously VERY excited but we wanted to make sure it was what our family should be doing so we decided to take a day and think about it. The 4th we decided to try and not think/worry about it and just have fun as a family like we had planned. Today - July 5th we had a family fast and had both our families fast with us to make sure this was something we should be doing. We got our answer and are going! As scary and stressful as it is to move across the country in about a month - we are very excited for this new chapter of our lives!
WAY TO GO DAN - WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!
Wow, what ana amazing opportunity this will be for your family! I just keep thinking about all the cool things you'll be able to do, like take jax to see the Musuem of natural history so he can see all the dinosaurs. Haha. D.C. is a really fun place, and if a huge sum of cash happens to fall into our lap in the near future, we'll go visit you while you're there. :
