that we're moving to Sheffield, England! You might remember the post about that one. It was the first school we were accepted to and it turns out to be what we consider best for our family. Here's how we made our choice:
Ian was accepted into all the schools he applied for (what a blessing, huh?) It was a no brainier for me. Who wouldn't want Ian? Well we chose to apply to each of the schools for different reasons so it was kind of hard for us to make a final choice. In the end what really did it was the overall benefits to our family. Sheffield offered a scholarship just for being an American student. There's an additional scholarship he can apply for and if he gets it, his tuition will only be $5500 for the year! Also, they offer on campus family housing making it easier for us to arrange things before we leave. On top of that, with all those benefits it's still a top 10 school in the UK, and in the top 100 of the World!
So, we'll be moving from Rexburg, on or around August 1st at which point we'll visit our parents in California and Florida before we make the big move.
I cannot express how excited we are for this opportunity. We have been so blessed and though we know this move won't be easy, we feel like it'll be the best for us in the long run. Thanks for coming along for the ride blog readers! It'll be fun to keep everyone updated through our blog when we live an ocean away!
