Well, the best laid plans....
We had a bit of a crazy week, and it ended with a pretty major change. Through no fault of anyone involved, our situation with Cal Poly changed, and we found ourselves contemplating a move to Utah. I never thought I would say that. The cold weather and (I'm so sorry if you're from Utah!) the landscape are just not up my alley. The thing is, these BYU people, they just have to open their mouths and they've suddenly got you right where they want you- they are that nice.
Then a door we thought had closed opened again and suddenly our offer from UC Santa Cruz (the one we had originally turned down to go to Cal Poly) was back on the table. It felt right, so we went for it. It broke our hearts to let go of the chance to live in San Luis Obispo, but I do believe there were some bonds formed that will play some role in our future, so it was all for the best. We're off to put flowers in our hair, eat granola and learn to surf!
Do you think we should changed the dog's name to Banana Slug? Or maybe Pogonip?

My grandmother lives in Aptos, just north of Santa Cruz. It's a beautiful area, and I love the beach there. Maybe we will even get to visit you there since we haven't done so well here, even though we're relatively close. I hope it is all works out. I love the bay area. That's where I met Mitch. :)
Hey, you'll only be 3-4 hours away! And that place looks GORGEOUS!
