I don't need to tell anyone that the economy is struggling and therefore it is hard to find jobs these days.  Luckily, P is in school and we don't have to worry about that for a little while, however it is imperitive that he find a law experience so that he can have something to show for himself next year.  Sadly, it seems to be more about who you know a lot of times then who you are.  Back in December he looked up all the firms in the country with technical business (this is called Intellectual Property Law, or IP) and sent his resume to all of them he could find.   Mostly in the West but a few out east.  He got several interviews, hooray, and several rejections, sigh...  We started to get a little concerned that we wouldn't find anything, when he got a phone interview with a firm that just happened to be back in NY where we used to live-this was one of the random places he chose to apply for even though he knew nothing about it.  Come to find out the guy that is the partner at the firm graduated from BYU and is member of our church!  What luck, or inspiration.  And after his Utah interviews fell threw we were pretty bummed, when got the blessed phone call that he could have a summer internship back in NY!  Crazy huh?  We will be returning back to the exact area that we lived before- for 8-9 weeks this summer.  Then of course, back to school here, but we are excited to see all our friends in NY, playgroups, church friends, and do all the things we didn't get to do while we were there, and many that we want to do again.  So gear up all you New Yorkers, we're coming back and this time we're bringing our crazy cute little 3 1/2 year old and an adorable little boy!  Make plans for us because we want to see you all and don't have that much time.  Also, we will be looking for a place to rent for the three months we are there so if you know of anywhere that is affordable let us know-please!  We always knew that our time in NY was meant for us and now we know that it also would help in paving the way for our future.  We are truly blessed to get this job and to get to go back to so many wonderful people.
