Update

Well, we are officially one week away from graduation!! It's so crazy that we are finally this close to living in the "real world." Neither Ben nor I have known anything but student life.

As we mentioned, our Hawaii plans fell through early this week. We spent about a day being shocked and disappointed and then we moved on to deciding where we would go from here. We went back and forth between still going to Hawaii or going to Utah. We finally decided that, as much as we'd love to live in Hawaii, we just couldn't justify it without a great business opportunity like the one we had before. It's just too expensive there!

So..... We are officially moving to Utah to start a practice. We are liking the Syracuse area (near Layton, about 25 miles north of Salt Lake) because of it's potential for growth, but we have no firm plans at this point.

We are still a little bummed. We love Utah, but we did spend the last year dreaming of beautiful beaches and 70 degree weather. We decided that those things weren't the most important things on our list of considerations, though. ;)

We are absolutely THRILLED that we are going to be close to family again! We've really missed all our loved ones. We are also thrilled at how cheap it is to live in Utah! :)

We are still kind of trying to wrap our heads around this whole huge shift in plans, but we are optimistic and excited. We know that Utah is where the Lord wants us to be right now.
