Another year has come and gone, so I thought I would take this moment around my birthday and reflect on what has happened in the last year. It has been a very eventful year so that is the reason why. It was the end of January, beginning of February roughly when we sent out applications for law school and starting hearing back. Of course as many of you remember, University of Nebraska was the quickest to return an acceptance and as you all know we ended up here. The decision was tough when deciding between schools because coming to Nebraska was a bigger risk. Traci and I however, couldn’t fight the feelings that we knew we needed to be here for at least the next three years. Every since we have moved here we have found so many things to confirm we are where we are suppose to be. The people in Nebraska are among the friendliest we have met. The friends we have gained through the law school have been with us through one of the most challenging times of our lives. And the most recent addition to our conformations was the fact we moved to a town where one of only five doctors in the country can help fix one of the problems with my hips. Meeting our friends, gaining the education I am, and finding this doctor has helped us to realize Nebraska is the place for us right now.
Other than those reflections, at the beginning of the second semester of law school hits hard and fast. They have added an additional class and hit us with writing assignments right out of the gate. Traci has started an online class as well as she prepares to go further in her nursing education. If everything works out as planned we will both be graduating again around the same time. Life keeps us pretty busy right now, but we continue to find things to keep us entertained. Some of the additional pictures in our gallery if of a guy who I go to law school with who is in a band. A couple of us were able to go watch him play downtown. It was a lot of fun and we never knew he was so talented. I always thought I would be going to law school with a lot of uptight intelectuals, but everyone here has amazing backgrounds and talents. This coming weekend Traci and I are going to watch Nebraska v. Missouri in a swim meet. Since I was on swim team in high school I am really excited to go.
We hope all is well for everyone. Please keep in touch because we love hearing from all our friends.
Matthew and Traci
