Peaches Anyone?

There seems to be a problem with my computer and I can't upload photos which is why I haven't posted for so long. However, there's a lot of updating to be done as far as PhD programs are concerned.

George applied to TWELVE programs all across the U.S. this year. Literally, from coast to coast. His top three picks were Chicago, North Carolina, or Georgia. He flew to Atlanta a couple weeks ago to interview and they LOVED him. We got in and they offered us a great funding package.

We also got in to Missouri but will probably pass this offer up as Emory (Georgia) is a much better program. We are still waiting to hear from UNC as this is the only school we would choose over Emory...the waiting game is torture!

So, it looks like the Gordon-Smiths will be moving to Georgia or North Carolina. My vote is UNC so I'm crossing my fingers and putting in a few extra prayers on an hourly basis right now :)

Anyone have any contact information in these two areas? Atlanta or Chapel Hill?

I have a couple in Atlanta and can ask about Chapel Hill. This is so exciting!! Either way you are much closer to me! We will have to go and see each other during school breaks! I'll call you with my contact info.

Trent met a friend at UVU who moved to Atlanta to coach high school football. They get together every few months. Trent and Amelia will probably go up again in a couple of weeks.
