Spinning in circles...

Skyler now has several offers on the table and it seems that all we ever do is talk about where to live. We have offers in D.C., NYC, and SLC thus far. We are still hoping to hear from Seattle. Everything we talk about relates to what life would be like in the various cities. The crazy thing is, we would love to live in each city for different reasons.

Our good friends Melanie and Gary just took an offer in NYC, so we would love to be near them. My best friend Ashley, lives in D.C. Skyler's family is in Utah. And Seattle is a pipe-dream. For two indecisive people, we sure have a lot of decisions to make. My mom has even jokingly said that she doesn't want another phone call from us until we have an offer from Seattle. It seems like we have a reason to call home with news about offers every day.

Even with all of the decisions, we have been having a great time. We spent last weekend in NYC for interviews and to watch conference with friends in New Jersey. I have fallen in love with the West Village in NYC and love all of the culture of NYC.

We are semi-planning a trip to D.C. to remind us of how much we love it. Every time we go visit any of our prospective cities we love them and think they are the best. The biggest trouble is balancing family life, money, and anticipated work experience for Skyler.

This week is Skyler's fall break, and my week of school and huge projects, but I can't seem to focus. Choosing where to live is just so much more important than writing papers. This weekend I am going to Connecticut with Crystal to the women's conference Time out for Women. It should be a lot of fun.

Here are a few new pictures...

Our fancy hotel in Manhattan...nicer than our apartment.
