Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain...

So we got tired of being the BYU-Idaho Vikings and decided to move up a few decades and become Cowboys. Jared wanted to keep going to school - crazy kid. The area of mechanical engineering that he is interested in (robotics and automation) is a relatively new field. BYU-I only has one course in it, so in order to learn more, more schooling was needed. We applied just about everywhere... well, yeah, it was just about everywhere. We were turned down by a few places, and didn't hear from some others. Until one day the gods smiled down and said, "Oklahoma state wants you. They'll give you a job, reduce tuition, and give you insurance." We were excited, thrilled even. :) However we still needed to hear from Lincoln-Nebraska and see what sorta goodies they would give us. We were accepted, however they wouldn't know what type of offers they would give us until June and OSU needed to know this month. Long story short... we are leaving the blessed "Zion" of Rexburg and moving to be with the "Gentiles" in Oklahoma... ok not Gentiles... just cowboys (that's the school's mascot)... :) We're hoping to help make the farmer and the cowman to be friends (it's one of the songs from "Oklahoma") We're super excited, we think we have a place to live over yonder. We'll be packing and moving the end of July/beginning of August. One of our only fears is Allie picking up the accent when she starts talking. It can't be that much worse that an Idahoan accent right? We'll keep y'all posted on our trek East.
