We did it!

We finally made a decision! This may have been the most difficult decision of our marriage so far, and our decision will probably disappoint some of you.

The Verdict:


Yes, all this drama and we're staying put. We love it here, however we felt the need to explore our options. BYU was a great option. To have the chance to live next to my family was EXTREMELY appealing. BYU also offered the greatest amount of funding. Oh, and their basketball team rocks!

Texas Tech would have put us a lot closer to Shan and Matthew, which was a big pull to go there. Also, housing is very cheap and we could have purchased a house if we elected to move to Lubbock. Texas Tech offers great clinical training and the opportunity to specialize in treating addictions, something I'm interested in doing. Did I mention they have a temple in Lubbock?

Choosing to stay in Kansas means a number of things: All day temple trips, no close family, no exciting new changes, living in an apartment, and tornadoes. However, K-State simply felt right. They offer the best research training and teaching opportunities.

So that's it. Go CATS!
