Gian applied to several schools and several of them were in California. My brother-in-law informed us of the current situation of law schools in California. Have you heard? Well let me just tell you the severity of the situation. There are several law schools in CA that are going under review and are under the possibility of losing their ABA Accredidation for law school.... that means their law students are SCREWED {read up really quick on the link for a better explanation}. What else does that mean for the students... funny you ask, it means the current students will have to transfer to another law school, with zero credits... ZERO, 0, NONE, NODDA, NOTHING!!! All their time and hard work was for nothing and they have start over from the very beginning. Not only do they loose all their credits, but their tuition is non-refundable. Some of these students have lost as little as $80,000! GULP... that is a lot to loose! Those poor students will loose their time and money, and now they need to retake the classes they already took. Let's just say we are all thankful that we are not in that exact situation.
After anxiously being on a few waiting lists, not getting into Gian's top picks, and the situation above, we decided it is best to prolong the wait of law school. WHAT?!?!?! I am even really saying this!
Here is our plan so far.... apply again in September and hope that Gian will A). not be wait listed again and B). get accepted to his top picks
We aren't entirely sure of what will happen come August because Gian's current job requires him to be a student and well, he is not a student anymore. Also, the scholarships and grants that he once had are gone too because again, Gian is no longer a student. GULP.... I guess I will become an extreme coupon-er and/or thrift more then I ever have before!!
Moving.... somewhere, sometime, somehow, just don't ask us when or where!! It could be down the street in 3 weeks or in another state in 6 months. So we are either moving or not ahahhahahaha!!! Don't you just looooooooooooove all this certainty!
All I can really tell you is even though these are hard times, that I have cried to Gian about all the emotions I possess {Funny... hahaha I am a girl, and I think and feel. Ohhh and as a side effect to all of that comes the water works! Who would have thought!}, we feel really good about this decision. We are waving our white flag so Heavenly Father's plan will become our plan, to better ourselves and our situation. I truly believe when things are meant to be; they always work themselves out and I know that this time is really good for me to practice my patience. I am learning to be flexible and learning to deal with the stress because lets face it, this won't be the last hurdle we face as family, and I know that this will become a pattern and culture for our family, so I want to make sure we can deal with it in a positive way. Remember "stressed" is "desserts" spelled backwards.
So wish us luck these next few months! Keep us in your prayers if you feel so inclined to do so, can't say I would object! Ahhaha and any news that comes our way, I will be sure to fill you in and let you know where and what we are doing.
Until then.... let's listen to the wise words of Lady Ga Ga:
Just dance, gonna be OK da da doo doo mmm
Just dance, spin the record babe, da da doo doo mmm
Just dance, gonna be OK da da doo doo mmm
I can't remember but it's alright, a-alright

Good luck on all of your decision making in the near future. I know that the right path will open up for you guys, even if it means you have to wait a little while longer!
Good luck with all your decision making! This might be a huge blessing for you! If your spirits are ever down and need cheering up, I have a very good story that has a lot of parallels to this, and it has a very happy ending (well...so far so good)!
Sending you virtual hugs!!!
I know the uncertainty is so hard but you have a good foundation. Your sweet little family is going to be just fine. I wish you patience was you wait it all out.
Thinking of you.
I know how you feel with the uncertainty! It's so not fun, but it really does help to just give in and go with the flow of what Heavenly Father wants for you! That's good that you didn't go all the way to Cali though and then have to start over somewhere! I guess it's a good thing you had to wait so long! I'm sure everything will work out okay, but being patient sucks!
Uncertainty is mega difficult on me, but I'm learning to live with it a little better. Good luck!
Good luck, my friend!
And you're so wise.
The Lord surprises us in the crazy ways, so just wait and see! (Easier said than done, huh?)
Don't move too far away. :c
Good LUCK! Decisions Decisions...they are hard stuff. We are in the process of (maybe) moving, too. Very stressful. :(
Good luck with all the decisions and the move. I will admit I was hoping this would say you are moving to Santa Clara :) We too, have had a lot of uncertainty lately and I love the quote, "You don't know how strong you are until strong is the only option." That quote helped me alot when Aubrey was in the NICU. Good Luck!
Whoops... I was in Steven's account. This is Paige!
Good luck with everything in the future! Decisions are HARD! Yes, I am from Yorba Linda and yes I know the Lindsey's. The Girl in the last picture of the post, the girl who planned that whole trip is a Lindsey. That's her maiden name and her brother is bryce! So funny! how do you know bryce?
Oh wow that is a tough situation! If I had have been told half way through my law degree that none of the work I had done counted I would be so upset. I hope things work out for you, good on you for trying to tackle it in a positive way.
I LIVE by that song! haha Me and my best friends quote to life is "I wanna just dance and have fun!" Love this post! So happy I came across your blog! Its adorable!
That has to be so hard to wait for such big decisions!!!
