The issues at hand are that we would like to buy a house instead of rent....but we have no way of knowing where that would be, Philly or W&M. We also have no incoming funds, aside from a photo session here and there that Kyle does, which we all know that finances are a stress in their own category. So.....this last week I had 4 canker sores in my mouth at the same time. I am just a tad stressed. And those that know me well, I stress out easily.... oops. :) I know that God is there and he knows what is best for us, and I think part of that is being here in this transition state for a little while, which is hard for me. But I guess if it's what I need to do, then I am doing my best to keep a positive attitude about it. Let's just say the day we hear from William and Mary will be a HUGE relief! Anyway, aside from all this, we are doing well. The girls are great and we are having fun. Maddie is getting so big and is REALLY close to crawling! Hallee is constantly mistaken for a 3 year old. She just turned 2! She just speaks and acts and looks a lot older. But both of their little personalities are just so fun! Anyway, that's it. That's what's going on. So, the motivation to blog has been quite low, with all energy and strength going towards the near future. Comments and support would be greatly appreciated and comforting! :)

Slacking
Sorry, we have totally been slacking in the blogging department...life is a bit stressful right now, and living out of a suitcase is never easy. Here's the scoop; we have been staying with our families for the past few weeks when we moved from Utah. We would be making every effort to get out to Philadelphia ASAP but there is a catch. There is a school that has us on their waiting list that we would MUCH rather go to. It's William and Mary Univ. in Williamsburg Va. The only problem is that they are currently overcommitted, leaving the chances of us being accepted there pretty slim. AND, it's possible that they wont even let us know until the week before school starts....so, do we just go to Temple and forget about W&M? Or do we wait? There is always that chance....We have decided to at least wait until around Aug 1st to see if we get any good news. If not, then all efforts will go towards Temple Univ.

Megan, I just linked to your blog and it's so good to hear about your life.
I totally know how you feel. A similar situation happened with me and a job I had been waiting on forever that I got literally days before graduation. At the time, it feels super stressful, but I think you'll look back and realize it was such a faith-building experience.
Best of luck. Keep me updated, beautiful girl. Your family is so darling!!
I know how waiting sucks. We still feel like that right now but are so right. Heavenly Father knows what is best for us and he will always take care of us. He just loves you guys too much. It will all work out for the best.
Keep us updated on what will happen. Love ya. :)
Hang in there!! Transitition stages ARE hard.
About 2 years after I got home from my mission I had lots of transititions- and ended up moving to 4 different STATES in a less than 2 years. I was So sick of moving & SO sick of being in a constant state of transition...but every opportunity I moved for was a trememdous experience & I really learned a lot about myself in the process. It takes a lot of faith, but it's so amazing when you finally are over the trial to see God's hand. I know you know that. I'm excited to hear how things will fall into place for you guys!! Have fun with your family!!
Ben was WAY thrilled that you guys watched to movie and saw him. It gives him loads of pleasure. Miss you guys and hope you hear from w&M soon, waiting is never fun. CDT meeting today... we'll miss Kyle.
It's always hard to not know where you are going. I hate the stage in life too. Just be glad that if you do here back from W&M then you are ready for it and don't have to house to sell or anything like that. You get to be with your husband and kids and enjoy that before Kyle goes back to school and work. Things will work out for the best just keep your chin up.
Man! Sorry you're in limbo right now! Just try to remember that this won't last forever! You'll get yourself situation soon... although I can really understand how you're feeling. How frustrating it would be to not really have a home right now. I hope he gets accepted to the school in VA! :)
You poor thing! I HATE not knowing what I'm doing, where I'm going, what the future holds... It would be nice to have control over it all. Somehow things always work out better than I could have planned if I DID have control, but all the road bumps along the way stink. And, uh, FOUR canker sores? Gracious, girl. Go have a spa day. Immediately.
Bleh. What is up with waiting until the last second William and Mary?!?! There are a few LDS guys who are working at Ben's firm that went to W&M for law school. Who knows... maybe you'll end up here in Rochester in 4 years :) Good luck with all the waiting. Can't wait to hear where you'll officially be living. If it is in Williamsburg you could always get a part-time job at Colonial Williamsburg churning butter or something.
first family poster ;) Hang in there ;) I think I could sum up my law school experience as feeling how you are feeling almost every month, at least once. Sorry ;) Them's the ropes. But at least your hubby is way mellow and can calm your nervousness down!
<3 ya
Hey, Meg. I'm sorry you're feeling stress. I know it can be hard when you're between things. We're also hoping some doors open and we're not real sure where to take our next steps, but I know things will work out for the best for both of us.
