Grad Schools

Joe started grad school applications in January and after much discussion, the birth of our son and other reasons, we decided to postpon grad school till the spring sememster instead of this coming fall. So now instead of knowing where we're going to end up in the next month or two, we probably won't know till around October.

You are probably wondering what schools Joe has applied to. Well, here they are:

University of Utah (Salt Lake City, UT)
Montana State University (Bozeman, MT)
University of Iowa (Iowa City, IA)
University of Pennsylvania  (Philadelphia, PA)
South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (Rapid City, SD)
Brigham Young University (Provo, UT)

Where do you think we'll end up?

And The Winners Are...

The winners from my little quiz are Angie and Priscilla. They are tied for first, so they both get a bonus prize. Priscilla said she wanted the Kitchen Package, so that one is hers and Angie didn't say what she wanted, so she gets the Spa Package. Hope that's ok with you Angie. If you want the Kitchen one instead, I'll put one together for you too. I'm hoping to get the prizes together by the end of this month. Congrats to the winners and for their answers, please see the comment section of my last post.

Here are the correct answers.

1. What is my husband's first name? Tracy
2. How long have we been married? As of today 3 years, 8 months & 3 days
3. What are my pets names? Eowyn, Lightning, and Pippin
4. My friend and her husband are adoption, what are their names? Gavin & Shauna
5. Who doesn't want to delete cookies? Cookie Monster
