The next three years....

So as many of you know, I took the LSAT a few months ago and did pretty well, good enough, I thought, to get into a good, 1st-tier law school. Unfortunately for me, since the LSAT I took was in February and many schools had already started to accept people by that time, my chances of getting into a school that I really wanted to go to were much slimmer than if I had taken it sooner and applied sooner. Lucky for me though, after a long couple of months of not hearing anything, a couple weeks ago I got a call from one of the schools that I really wanted to go to telling me that I had been accepted. SO.... for the next three years, I'll be studying law at....

Yep, the University of Utah's S.J. Quinney College of Law. We're so excited about this! It is a great program and I'm really lucky that I was accepted, it has been the most competitive application pool they've ever had. We really believe that it's where we're supposed to be. I've been telling Whitney from the very beginning that I had a strong impression about the U and now that's where we'll be!

We're so excited that we get to stay in Utah and be close to family too. Leaving Cedar City will be bitter sweet, though, we are going to miss our friends that we have here. And it seems we keep meeting new people that we want to hang out with, which makes it harder to know that we'll be leaving soon. Oh, and finding a place to live is going to kinda suck too, especially because we are so spoiled to live where we do, we love our place in Sunset Ridge. But we know it's what we're supposed to do and I'm so blessed to be able to go to such a great school and still be close to our families. So now we want to enjoy our last couple of months in Cedar City and then we'll be starting the next stage of our lives!

Our GrAdUaTiOn !!!

Both Ty and I graduate from SUU on Saturday May 2, 2009. We were so lucky to have both of our parents and some of our siblings there with us. I can't believe that I am a college graduate I feel like I just graduated high school. 4 years already? It was so fun for Ty and I to be able to walk together. We are in different colleges but since we are married they let us walk together. I loved it. It was awesome sitting next to the love of my life as we listened to the speakers and completing this big step in our lives. Our commencement speaker was President Thomas S. Monson. It was such an uplifting speech and I could have listened to him for hours. I felt so lucky to have graduated this year to have him as my speaker. I will nEvEr forget his words.

It was a really beautiful and special day after all the ceremonies we went to cHiLiS for dinner and back to our house for some cake and ice cream for dessert. We had such a CUTE cake and man was it good. Thank you Lin's Bakery :)

I graduated with a Bachelors with a major in Physical Education and a minor in Health Education.
Here is me and Ty and my cute mom and dad. And look at that fun cake :)

Ty graduated with a Bachelors with a major in Spanish and a minor in Criminal Justice.
I love all the pictures it really was so fun to have our families there. I like the picture of us and ty's cute parents and Dan and Brooke and the kiddos. Thanks Dan and Brooke and Kids for coming. It meant so much to us. Oaklyn was so cute she kept waving to us the whole convocation with a huge smile on her face but then once it was picture time she did not want to smile haha, Con Man was full of hugs and Londyn just wanted our balloons and looked as cute as ever. I wish I would have gotten some pictures of dinner at Chilis but oh well it was really fun and my little siblings were there celebrating with us.

Thank you Mom and Dad Jacobs and Mom and Dad Ulrich for all of your support throughout our lives we couldn't have gotten through school without you.

So NoW wHaT? Well I want to hopefully start this fall on my teaching licence which should only take another year so I would be completely done by spring or fall of 2010. While working on my license I want to find a job I can use some of my education on. And as for Ty he is going to go to law school this fall. It will be a three year journey that we are excited about. We will keep you posted on where we get into law school soon so stay tunned.
