DECISIONS... DECISIONS...

So...... Jonathan and I just got back from a trip to Boston for him to visit two of the four schools he got into. He had open house at MIT and Harvard on Thursday and Friday of last week.

Jonathan has been given such huge opportunity, and now we just have to decide where God wants us. He only applied to 4 schools, and got into all 4 with various scholarships offered, and also "advanced placement standing" which is near impossible to do. I could barely even believe I was inside Harvard on Friday, much less to think I would ever stand a chance to get in and with ADVANCED PLACEMENT!! Who does that!!?!?! Haha! I'm so very lucky... Jonathan is very blessed and is so talented! It makes me happy to realize that others notice!

Well, no school has been helping our decision making process.... they have all given great offers, and somehow we can work around the timing of the little one's birth. MIT is the only one with a start date a little too close for comfort! So, we have one week, and have only eliminated one school which is GA Tech. So, all this to say, I know that we are moving to either Boston or Los Angeles. We are deciding between MIT, Harvard, and UCLA. We have to make the right decision for Jonathan and for me and our new little one! This is tough, but God is so big and so great... I know that He already has this mapped out. 

Please pray for wisdom over this next week as we face these tough decisions. Pray that God just gives us a clear view of what we're supposed to do and the school we're supposed to choose! It's going to be a tough transition, but in the end... it will all be worth it for our family! I'm so thankful for my life, and for this smart husband God blessed me with, and also for the little one we are trying very patiently to wait for!

As for the baby.... Tomorrow is the big day! We find out if we're having a boy or a girl! I just can't stand it another second! I'm so overcome with emotion... I'm so thankful and I just can't wait to see what this baby will be! It's so amazing to know that God just works the way He only can. That He is taking this little baby and knitting it together so perfect in my belly. That He can prepare my heart to already love in a way I never knew I could and I haven't even met the little one yet! He is amazing, and I am forever grateful. Thanks for all of our blessings!
