OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY in Norfolk Virginia!!! Owen is attending to receive his PhD in International Studies with a focus on the Middle East. He is also currently working on learning Arabic and will also continue language classes at ODU.
We are SO excited about this! After lots of waiting and LOTS of prayers we are so happy about our decision. I have to admit that Virginia was my first choice and I am so glad things worked out this way. To be honest though, I am a little apprehensive about living on the east coast. I'm certainly a California girl. Provo is the farthest east I've ever lived! (well except my year in England, but that doesn't count!). But this will be an exciting adventure for our family, we are happy to go some place new together.
We will be moving in July, driving out with the girls and having our things shipped. We are calling our road trip our "family vacation" so it doesn't sound so scary :) but Owen and I are certainly looking forward to it! We're going to make it fun, lots of stops, swimming and fun things.
I am so proud of Owen! For all his hard work and always being willing to work hard for what he wants. I love you sweetie, you are so stinking smart and I am so happy you have this opportunity to earn a PhD, you are going to do great. And I'm SO excited to go to Virginia!!!
