Virginia is for lawyers

You may have heard our big news, but if not, we're moving to Charlottesville, Virginia! Our original plan was for Taylor to attend law school this fall at BYU. The day before we planned to move to Provo, Taylor received a call from the dean of admissions at the University of Virginia (which is the #8 law school in the country) and Taylor was accepted to UVA from their wait list. Since it was an acceptance off the wait list, we only had one week to decide if Taylor should accept. UVA was Taylor's top choice of law schools because of prestige and location, and after a lot of prayer, research, and discussion we felt strongly that Virginia is where we need to be! We sold our Provo apartment contract, paid the seat deposit for UVA, paid a deposit for an apartment in Charlottesville, and we will move mid-August after Taylor's graduation from BYU.

I'm so proud of Taylor and how hard he has worked to prepare for law school. He spent hundreds of hours studying for the LSAT and his hard work truly paid off! While we're so excited for the opportunities that will be available to Taylor because of UVA and the adventure it will be to live in Charlottesville, it will be hard to leave Utah and our amazing family and friends. We can't wait for visitors in VA and we hope to visit Utah often!
