Happy Birthday to Justin - No More Law School!

So, sorry that we've been sporadic in the blogging world, but we've been busy making some big decisions in the real world. For those of you who haven't heard yet, we've decided to move back to Utah (probably Logan) where Justin will pursue an MA in Political Science instead of the original plan of finishing law school and then getting the MA after that. We've loved living in Minnesota and will definitely miss our friends, but we're excited to move on and expedite the school process. Even though Justin has done really well in law school (this is Bridget bragging), he has pretty much despised the whole thing. And, the longer he's in school the more horror stories we hear about the law degree limiting career choices and pigeon-holing candidates in the future. So, after much deliberation and prayer we feel good about doing what we know he loves. Besides, what better way to celebrate your birthday than not starting another dreaded law school semester?

Other than the obvious celebration over the pending move (our lease goes through March here), we enjoyed his birthday by having a fun date at the Minnesota Institute of Art and eating at the delicious Finnish Bistro. Ian has been busy learning how to clap, wave, and possibly trying to sign "more" (but this could just be wishful thinking on our part). Rachel has been busy trying to figure out creative ways to misuse all of our household items since the very cold temps have limited our time outside. And, Bridget is busy dreading the pending packing! We hope that everything is well with all of you and we'll get pictures of our craziness up soon!
