We're back!

Whew. Ok. This week was probably the worst of my life. Let's just be honest here. I was swamped at work and had two 3 hour finals. Arf! But that is now all behind me and it should be smooth (busy) sailing from now until April 15th.

Speaking of April 15th, that night we're catching the red eye to Boston! :) Woo hoo! (I cannot remember if I have blogged about this before or not so stick with me here. Again, I had a long week.) Anyway, on April 16th, I have a tour/interview scheduled with UConn's law school. I'm pretty excited to see the place and see if that's our next stop. (Yes, I will still be lobbing my "Hail Mary" pass to Yale for acceptance, but I also live in the "real world" so I have to plan accordingly. No worries though, Hartford, CT- UConn's home- is only about 45 minutes from New Haven, CT-Yale's home- so if adjustments are necessary- and I feel certain they won't be- we could do it.)

There are a lot of jobs out there for Jackson. I think he's more excited with the fact that we'd live near enough to the water that we could finally buy him a SAILBOAT! (Side note: Sailboats are expensive. Any donations to Jackson's "sailboat-wish-come-true" fund will be gladly accepted. ;) Shoot, we'd even take you out sailing.) Before anyone worries, MacKenzie loves the water and would always wear a life vest when on board the vessel. Jackson also noticed when he was using Google maps to "walk around" West Hartford (where we'd live) that they have a Moe's Southwest Grill right downtown. Sold! We're so there in about a month! :)

I get excited about multiple things about East Coast living. I'll make a small list so you all will want to relocate, too.
1. The availability of lobster. Fresh. Excellent. Inexpensive.
2. The nearness of Hartford to: New York City
3. The nearness of Hartford to: Boston
4. The nearness of Hartford to: MAINE
5. The nearness of Hartford to: Indiana (Ok, it is not really near Indiana, but closer than Colorado and in the same time zone- a bummer as I like early NFL games.)
6. The cost effectiveness of UConn's evening law school
7. The fact that Jackson would finally get his sailboat
8. The fact that we could go to NYC for Christmas and see the Rockettes without much expense! (Ok, that was a little repetitive from #2, but still. I'm excited.)

I'll end my list there mainly because I have a few other things on my to-do list today.

So we're looking forward to our trip. My boss has been annoying me lately- this whole pregnancy as an excuse to come in late and leave early stinks- so I've already started applying for jobs out there. I'd like to move in mid-July! Jackson is willing to either finish school online- HE GOT AN "A" IN HIS FIRST CLASS!!!!-or transfer to an institution of higher learning in Connecticut. We'll see.

That's a little glimpse of what's been going on around here. A lot of planning, contemplating, etc. but one thing is for sure: we're never bored. :)
