And the Winner is ...

Okay, not that we really based our decision off the poll, but just in case you were wondering Princeton, New Jersey won 7-6. But on to the real decision, we had decided to move to . . . wait for it . . .

Princeton, New Jersey!!

Josh will be attending Princeton University where he will be working on getting his PhD in Civil Engineering (Hydrology for anyone that really cares). Schools starts on September 17th (our 5th anniversary, again for anyone that cares) so we will most likely be moving the last week in August. So, if anyone knows anyone in the Princeton area, we are looking for an apartment so send them our way please.

Spring Break!!

We had a great and extra long Spring Break. Most of it consisted of Josh looking at graduate schools (**See Previous Post**) but it was still really fun. It started out the Thursday before spring break officially started with Josh flying out to Illinois to check out University of Illinois. Aspyn and I went down to see my parents who just got home from their mission and spent our time with them. Josh got back from Illinois then flew out to Seattle the next day to check out University of Washington. He got back and rested a day then we all flew out to Philadelphia and spent a few days with my sister who lives in Delaware. Josh was able to drive up to New Jersey one of those days to check out Princeton. We had a lot of fun but I also forgot to take our camera. So, here are a few pictures that we took from our cell phones, hopefully they are not too bad (there are a lot of them too, sorry).

Here are a couple of shots that Josh took at University of Washington

These next few are ones he took at Princeton (really cool, old buildings)

Here are some from Aspyn and my trip to Philadelphia

Where should we move??

We have decided to see where all of you think we should move. We have narrowed it down to two places: Princeton, New Jersey and Seattle, Washington. Both have their ups and downs and we are pretty sure where we think we are going but would like to see what everyone else thinks. There is a poll on the side and I will leave it open until Tuesday and then we will most likely be posting our decision soon after that.

First Haircut!! (Finally)

Aspyn finally got a haircut!! Not that she had much too cut off but the front was getting in her eyes and the back really needed to be evened out. So we finally did it. She wasn't too thrilled with the idea so we finally just put a towel down in the living room and put in her favorite movie (Winnie the Pooh). She was content after that to just sit and let me cut.

FRONT SHOT

Proof!!

Here is our proof that Aspyn tries to say Obama. When I saw that he was going to be talking to Congress last week I knew it was my chance to get it on video because he would be on the TV long then just a few seconds. So here is what we got. (At the end she realized I had the camera and decided to say cheese for me, it's pretty cute)

We then made cookies and while we waited for them to bake this is how Aspyn watched the speech. Every time they would clap she would start clapping and cheering.

I think we may have a political junkie on our hands (that didn't come from me)!!
