Boston it is!

So we were finally forced to make a decision...and decided to go to Harvard as planned. Stanford gave a run for the money, though...it would have been easier to go there in a few ways but we felt like Harvard was overall the better choice. So we are excited to go out there next month! woo hoo!

HLS or SLS?

I like plans. I don't like changing plans on the fly. I tend to be inflexible, I admit freely.

So here's the deal - Stanford law school decided to admit Paul right now. Now, as in when all of our stuff is already in a warehouse outside of Boston waiting to be moved in. And we have already started paying rent for our Cambridge apartment. But Stanford has been Paul's favorite school (or it was at one point), and Palo Alto is such an awesome location...no snow! and both schools are arguably about equal in terms of prestige in the legal world. Stanford also gave Paul the same financial aid as Harvard did. Palo Alto would be easier for Darren - more grassy play areas, and able to play outside all year long, plus way easier to visit our families in Utah. I fell in love with out Harvard apartment setup - adorable brick townhouse - and geared myself all up to face the winter - I was kind of excited for it actually. So what should we do??

Stay tuned. We are flying out for a last-minute visit to Stanford to check it out. Feel free to weigh in if you have two cents to share. :)
