the waiting game is FINALLY coming to an end


Wednesday, March 9, 2011

Wow. We feel like we have been on hold forever with this whole grad school thing. Jared and I both took the GRE last August, with plans for him to attend grad school first and then I would have the option to in the future if we had the means. So applications started in October and were turned in by December. It has been a long time coming but within the last week we FINALLY heard back from 2 schools - and both were a YES! Jared's the surprise type of man, so when he got in to NCSU he called me up and asked me if I would like to live in Raleigh. At first I didn't catch on, but then it hit me that he was asking me because that would potentially be our new home! I was ecstatic! I would love to live in NC!

Then yesterday he came out from the grocery store with an orange rose. That seeemed random, but I willingly accepted it, of course. I thought orange was a weird color for a rose until I realized that he was giving me the colors of Syracuse University! We couldn't be more pleased. Still waiting to hear from 3 more. No matter which school we ultimately decide, we'll be east coasters starting in July!
