Time for an update on Kevin...

As you might recall, Kevin was in New York City for work last month for 2 weeks.While he was gone, I had quite a few convo's that went like this:
Person: Where's Kevin?Me: In New York City.Person: Why is he in NYC?Me: For work.Person: What's he doing for work in NYC?Me: Trial.Person: Trial for what?Me: Uhhhhhh......
This is the part when I wished I would have listened with both ears when Kevin would talk about work on our drive home every day.
So, to set the record straight, I asked the man himself.
Me: Kevin, why were you in NYC?Kevin: I was in NY for a federal trial in the 2nd Circuit US Court. Our client (a dietary supplement company out of Italy) was being sued for false advertising. I was there to prepare witnesses, documents, and other evidence to support our case. I was also at the table with our attorneys to make sure we presented all the best evidence and to counter the opposing attorney's arguments.
And there you have it!
They stayed in super nice hotel, right on Central Park called the Essex Hoteland ate at fabulous restaurants the entire time.
During the 2 weeks, other than the last day and a half, he was workin', workin', workin'.On average, I spoke to him for maybe 5 minutes a day, if not less.So you can only imagine how happy I was to have him back home.
Before Kevin left for NYC, I reminded him over and over to take pics.But since he was so entirely busy, most of his pics are from the last day and a half,which is totally understandable.Luckily Terri snagged a few of him during the week.(Thanks Terri!)

Yes, this last picture is of Kevin standing in front of Tiffany's.

And Yes, that little bag he is holding was a surprise for me!

I couldn't believe it when he gave it to me!

Continuing on with the update on Kevin...

Those of you who haven't been in much contact with us for the past year,

might not have know Kevin is working at a law firm.

The job opportunity was completely unexpected,

yet it turned out to be huge, huge blessing.

And most importantly, it has helped Kevin to make a huge decision.

Kevin has decided to go to law school.

If you would have told Kevin when we graduated from BYU last year

that he would be going to law school in two years,

he would have laughed in your face.

I would have done the same.

But after gaining all this new insight into the profession of an attorney,

Kevin has found a new job interest that he loves and is excited to pursue.

I am just excited that he has found something that he enjoys!

It's so nice to have a husband who is excited to tell me about his day at work,

rather than come home and complain.

Although, I never pictured us going on a law school adventure in our lives,

I know it will be worth it in the end.

3 years isn't that long right?

At least we're still young!

Tonight Kevin begins his LSAT prep courses through Kaplan.

Pretty much the beginning of the end.

He will take the LSAT in October, send out applications, and begin school in Fall of 2012.

Best case scenario:

He gets a stellar LSAT score.

He gets a scholarship to a school in Southern CA.

Both possible, but require A LOT of hard work.

Our fingers are crossed and would love it if yours were too.

Prayers would be even better.
