A couple of weekends ago Cade and I made a trip to St. Louis, Missouri to check out a Chiropractic College. Cade has been doing some deep soul searching trying to find out what he really wants to be and do in life. He has always talked about becoming a chiropractor because of his brother Braden's father-in-law who is an incredible chiropractor. He's also been thinking about financial advising because it would go along more with his degree. He's been stressing and I feel bad for him because he's had a really hard time sleeping lately. We decided we should go check out this college so that he could have a better idea of what he would really be doing and if the schooling would really be something he would even want to get into. Laney, Braden's father-in-law is the director of the Sports and Rehabilitation center in the college and so he showed us around and we also attended "Slice of Logan" which is the orientation for the Logan College. The campus is beautiful and so green, it feels more like a nature scene than a campus with all of it's trees and ponds. I was very surprised that Missouri was so pretty! It reminded me of Oregon a little. If Cade did this he would graduate with a Masters in Sports Medicine and a Doctorate of Chiropractic, this would be so awesome for him. We both felt really good about the whole experience, because the college is awesome and is the top college for chiropractic study. So we are now just continuing to do a lot of praying and weighing the options for what will be best for us, because if Cade decides to go the Chiropractic route we would be in St. Louis for 3 years. Really I think it would fly by because we will be super busy with school and the new baby. I would try to get going on my Masters as well, and so we would both be preoccupied. I've also really been thinking about what I would like to get my masters degree in and I'm thinking either counseling and then getting involved with LDS counseling, or else Secondary Education Counseling. I would be really excited about either of these degrees. So anyway, we feel like we have a lot of big decisions to make, especially because the baby will be here soon and if Cade started the program in September I would deliver in Missouri! (Scary for me a little) I wouldn't really know my doctor at all, but I guess people do this all the time. My family is also very concerned that they won't see us or the baby very much. I would be really sad about this too, but there are always Holidays and after 3 years we could be even closer than ever, forever! (That's a nice thought!!) He could also start the program in January if he needs more classes to get in and then we would probably go to St. George in the meantime and Cade would work at the Tax Club again to earn some money for the program. We have a lot to think about, that's for sure! On a less stressful, and happier note on the 21st of March Cade and I felt our little girl hiccuping! It was the cutest thing ever, I put Cade's hand on my belly and he was like, "Oh my gosh I felt her move!" I hurried to put my hand where his was and we both sat there amazed at the consistent little bump we felt every few seconds! It was such a big event for us! I have been feeling her move more and more ever since and I love it so much. She is so lively and I can't wait to see her!
St. Louis would be cool! We're doing the chiro school thing too but not for another year or so. who knows where we'll end up- maybe st louis :) jk.
