Chris and I have made our decision... we are moving to California.
For those who didn't know, Chris applied to MPA programs, 4 in California and 1 in Washington. We were hoping to hear back from most of the schools by now, but we have not...only one (Long Beach, which Chris got into). So we had to move forward with our decision on faith. We prayed, talked, looked long and hard at our choices and realized that it was better to move to California.
So we are going to be living with Chris' parents in Rancho Cucamonga for sometime. As soon as we hear from the other schools in California we will make our decision and look for places to live near the school we pick.
So right now our house in a mess with boxes and stuff everywhere! Its hard to pack because we have to think what stuff will go in storage while we are at his parent's house and what we will need while we are there. It is amazing to realize all the stuff you have as you try to put it all into boxes.
We are going to pack the moving truck on Monday and then take off early Tuesday morning.
We are quite excited, especially just to finally know the direction we are going! We look forward to being close to family and all CA has to offer.
However, it is beginning to hit me that we won't be back in Provo for who knows how long. It is a bit weird to say goodbye to a place that has helped define who were are and where we have so many memories!

Congratulations on the decision! Woo hoo...you'll be closer to us! (Still not that close, but at least the same state).
I remember when we moved to California and lived with my parents for 6 months it was hard dividing things up. I still have random boxes in our garage that say "HOME" or "STORAGE". It will be nice when you know where exactly you'll be and can find a place. In the meantime it will be so much fun having you guys right here. Our kids are so excited their favorite aunt and uncle are coming and not just for the weekend!
yay im excited to see where you guys end up. if chris gets accepted to cal poly promise that you'll come up and visit. you're more than welcome to kick it at our place!
Tell me what you think!
