Changes and Fear

David has now heard back from 3 of the 4 schools he applied too. He has been accepted to Texas A&M and ASU! Sadly, he was rejected from BYU (our top choice), and Syracuse is on hiatus (we haven't heard anything back from them, but we have ruled them out anyways). I am so proud of him, for all of his hard work, for his dedication and devotion to his family. I think I could go on and on about why he is such a good husband and father . . . I am just so grateful for him. With his acceptance to these two schools means we will have some big changes in our lives. While I'm excited about moving forward I am actually starting to feel very anxious and a little scared. I have become very comfortable with our life here and I really will be sad to leave. We love living so close to David's parents and Luke loves his Paki and Omi so much. We love that he can have that kind of relationship with his grandparents. I'm scared to have to start over and make new friends. Texas is really a perfect fit for David and he's been offered a scholarship so it is actually affordable. ASU is a great school, but the program doesn't fit his interests as much and tuition is about 3 times as much as A&M . . . but my family lives in Mesa and I really want to be near family. We have big decisions and honestly I'm scared, but I feel like Heavenly Father has truly guided our lives so far and I know he will continue to do so. Pray for us!
