Decision Time


HI

For y'all that don't know or don't care, John and I have been in the process of MBA applications, admittance and acceptance for the past few months, er, longer.
Remember when he broke his arm before our wedding?

Yeah that was for an MBA application. So basically ever since then we have been pondering the next phase of our lives, i mean, besides the marriage part.

John only applied to two schools: UCLA Anderson and University of Chicago Booth schools of business.

First he was admitted to his dream school, Chicago, and after a positive experience there when he visited campus for an interview, we were pretty positive we would go there.

Then we got a couple notifications from UCLA. A. He had gotten in. B. He got a fellowship, allowing us to be able to come out of an MBA debt free, and I probably wouldn't even have to work.

So we decided we needed to visit the campuses.

UCLA Anderson School of Business
Beautiful campus, 70 degree weather in January....


Tons of Asians. Tons.


University of Chicago Booth School of Business
Prestige.


Architecturally incredible building.


OK, OK, there was more to each campus than the before mentioned.
But what you need to worry about is where we will be living come Fall. And the answer to that my friends, is Chicago.

Oh my gosh! That is crazy. At least you know now. I kind of wish it had been LA, but Chicago is cool too, I guess. I have only passed through it once and someone flipped me off. Jerk.

Duuuuuuude. That is so far away. I am excited for you two though. I think this will be an awesome adventure. Congratulations to John!

thanks guys. we kind of wanted it to be LA too, beautiful weather, closer to family, cheaper, we know more people there, it just would've been easier. But it turns out Chicago is what we and God decided would be best.
