After almost two months of discussion, tons of research, and even more prayer we've decided to go to University of Texas at Austin starting in the fall. Wes will probably do work in process control or biomass engineering. Last night we went to the temple (together! Bless our neighbor for sitting in our house while Levi slept!) and realized we've been asking a less accurate (wrong?) question. It's not where but what. Our first priority is serving God and building His kingdom. We can do that anywhere. And since we feel that He doesn't have a specific place we need to be for the next five or so years, as long as we remain focused on our covenants and serving, He'll help us become/do what we need to. The next what question is Wesley's research. Since he'll be living that for a while (his entire career) doing something he's passionate about is vital. Texas has more options and more areas he loves (although he's already missing the trees and seasons of the East). We're happy about this choice. And I don't mind 70 degree Februaries.
