If you are close enough to them, why not? You trust them, you've known them for quite some time I imagine and they are both successful. Maybe it would be awkward due to your situation but if nothing else you can tell them what you're attempting to do and they may be able to provide some guidance.
I am some what close with them. I have gone to them for advice in the past and they didn’t seem to mind. They have always told me that if I need anything just ask or let them know. Father in-law and I work for the same company in the same division just different regions so we talk at work occasionally. I do not think it would be awkward unless you make it that way. I would just tell them what I am attempting to do and I know that they would help or give me advice.

The first cannot happen without the second IMO. It may still never happen regardless of how successful you are with your efforts. In order for any relationship (this one or a new one) to be prosperous, you have to do what is needed.
I am trying to become a more confident, self-sufficient individual overall a better person. But if they see changes in me and tell their daughter and she changes her mind I wouldn’t mind that either…in fact I would love if she would change her mind. If that happens great but I need to get to a place where I can and will be okay if it doesn’t happen. I agree that is the desire and what I want to do is necessary. I need to work on me, for myself, my friends, my family and for my future relationships that I may have.
