had the "BIG CONVERSATION" last night. we're both mopey because (even more than ever) the reality of this situation hit hardcore.
the opportunity to go to law school, to graduate as a lawyer and seek employment as a lawyer who is not employed in a big corporate firm, without any law school debt is just too much to pass up. we're moving to toledo, ohio.
my sister gave me some good perspective: "it's just three years". i hear you loud and clear heather, loud and clear.
the only head-scratching-ness is how to execute this. do i leave early and seek a job because the economy is so bad that i get something before he absolutely can't work anymore and we're not both unemployed or do i work as long as possible here to save up money so that when we both move out there - we have some money saved?
the title was serious - i think we may go to a counselor as a sort of mediator/problem solving something...updates to come.

Mmmm... :( Sorry to hear you guys will be leaving. I'm bummed that I had to miss breakfast with J this morning. It would've been nice to hear his thoughts on all this. Even though it will suck to not have you guys around for at least three years, it does sound like a wise choice. A full ride (that's what you're talking, right?) is pretty hard to pass up. Well, good luck, and I will pray that you get the wisdom you need to make the right choices as far as your own career and all that. Hopefully I'll see you guys on Sunday, or if not catch J next Friday.
