We've prayed, fasted, prayed some more and have made the decision to pack ourselves up and move on out to the thriving metropolis of Bloomington, Indiana. Brett was offered an incredible scholarship to study law at the Maurer School of Law at IU! (side brag note from Abby: Brett applied to 14+ law schools and was accepted and offered scholarships at 13 of them! He's so smart!)

We had a tough decision to make. Brett was accepted to schools in Utah, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Maryland and Arizona. We would have loved to stay in Utah because so much of our family is here. Michigan would have been great as well because that's where my parents live. But after weeks and months of praying and attending the temple, Indiana just felt like the right decision.


I had an experience a month or so ago when we were helping someone new move into our apartment complex. We started talking with a man who was an attorney from Oklahoma, and we shared with him that we were preparing to attend law school in Indiana. He looked me in the eyes while shaking my hand and said, "they NEED you in Indiana" and I just got chills. I knew that it was the Spirit confirming our decision to move to Indiana. I received further confirmation when I was sitting in the Temple praying about our choices of schools.



We're nervous for sure, but just excited for the opportunity to be in a new culture surrounded by new people. What an awesome opportunity it will be for us to not only grow together as a couple, but for the many opportunities to be a missionary as well.
