Graduation and other stuff


Well, we've made it. We're both graduating this Friday, and it's hard to believe! The two years for a master's degree fly by and we both agree that it has been completely worth it. We were both able to get extremely involved in our programs and build up a strong network in the Salt Lake valley. And now we get to enter the real world!

For our graduation and anniversary (5 years!) celebration, we decided to take a trip to Europe for 5 weeks. We figured it was the best time in our lives to do it because we both have a break from all responsibility! We'll be leaving the country on May 8 and we'll return on June 13. We're heading to Ireland for the majority of the time (Kristin's sister Megan lives in Ireland so it's convenient - plus we loved Ireland the last time we were there and wanted to go back), and then we're going to Portugal, London, and Germany. So, stay tuned for our posts on our adventures while we're in Europe!

When we get back from Europe, we're moving to Philadelphia. Alex got a job with Comcast Interactive Media, and he'll be doing marketing for them. Kristin will look for a job once we move out there. It's pretty exciting and scary at the same time. We won't have any time to go out there before we have to move, so we'll be living in a hotel until we can find housing. We'll be driving out, and we're planning on leaving June 19. Any advice is appreciated!

So that's all of the news for now. We're starting a new chapter in our lives and it's exciting! Keep checking back for our new posts.
