What you have all been waiting for...

...so many of you have been wondering where I have been and what my final decision is? I am sorry that life seems so crazy busy for me most of the time and I don't have enough hours in the day. I did go to New York two weekends ago. I had a wonderful time and stayed in Garden City, an adorable town on Long Island, with a friend of my mom's that she knew while living in London. I enjoyed the sites of the city, good company with the family I was staying with, and well, Columbia is an amazing school with a beautiful campus. I was honestly thinking while I was there...do I really belong here? This is Columbia, wow! My advisor was a great guy, and he is top in his field, as are all of the professors at the university. I just didn't feel as at ease and as at peace with myself the whole time. In Boston, I loved every aspoect of it and just felt great there. I could totally see myself there the whole time. With Columbia, I do not want to be in debt thousands of dollars, and I just don't see myself living in New York City as a 24-year old Caucasian girl who is single. So it is off to Boston I go! Having made my decision, everything is falling into place. It didn't seem like housing would work out quite right, but everything is falling into place perfectly for a place in Brookline, the neighborhood that I wanted to be in; it's closest to BU (Boston University). It looks like I will probably be on my way to Boston around the beginning of August. Yeah! I am so excited about everything...change is really hard for me, but I know it is really good for me, and I know that I will have some awesome experiences and opportunities there. I have just been playing catch-up, subbing for my same 3rd graders-they are fun kids, and enjoying Salt Lake. My mom was in town for 2 days last weekend, and I had tons of fun playing with her, and spending time with Alex and Stacey (my future sister-in-law), too. Well, hope this is what you wanted to know...love to all!
