Blizzard Juno January 2015

We have had a great few days with all the snow around. Sunday we were warned the storm was coming so we walked to the grocery store near us and restocked our 72 hour kit and other things for the week first thing Monday morning. The snow began mid-afternoon and did NOT stop until sometime early Wednesday morning. Tuesday was so windy and snowy we didn't dare exit the apartment. Wednesday however we woke up to the sun shinning through our window and knew it was going to be a fun day. We both put on two or three layers of the warmest stuff we had and then headed outside.

Nick jumped off the porch first thing!

We walked around and enjoyed watching others shoveling the snow! HAHA
Okay, Nick did offer a few older ladies but they declined his awesome arm strength.

We just had a FANTASTIC time!

Our apartment in the snow!

Nick kept trying to convince me that jumping in the snow would be fun. It was suppose to be light enough that I would sink through it... well it didn't happen the first time so........

......I tried again and it worked a little better but still not what I expected it to be like... Because I didn't get the effect Nick wanted he later pushed me in a deep area of fluffy snow... 3 freakin times.. as I would begin to get back up he would push me again. Once I tried to tackle him and missed and landed face first in the fluff. It was a great time.

Now time for some Hot Chocolate and getting back to the business. Hope everyone is staying warm!

Why BOSTON????

I'm sorry it's been a while since our last blog post.  When we got back to Alabama life was super busy with family and things. I will catch you up on all the things we did at a later date because everyone seems to be asking the same question... WHY Boston???

The Story

Over a year ago Nick and I were faced with a life decision.... Korea for a third year or moving somewhere for Nick to continue his education. As we did research we decided to look and apply to schools in Boston, MA. We prayed about it and knew Boston was the place but we also both knew it wouldn't be for school. So now the decision was Boston or Korea. We got tired of going back and forth... are we staying in Korea or are we leaving and moving to Boston.....we finally just left fate up to a quick game of Rock, Paper, Scissors and Korea won. Not long after we THOUGHT we had made a decision things quickly changed.

A Korean visitor came to CEV (our school) to talk with Richard and Suzi. She is the director of BIA Boston International Academy. The first day of her visit she handed me information on the school and I immediately knew that the "What are we going to do in Boston?" prayer had been answered. I finished my conversation with her and went back to the apartment to talk with Nick. He also felt the confirmation that this was going to be our future.

The topic of moving to Boston and starting a business took over our conversations and we finally just looked at each other with tears in our eyes and made the decision to come home and not stay a third year. It was a HARD decision but the right one.

When we got back to Alabama we spent a lot of time with family but we also had the opportunity to fly out to Boston for a three day trip and pick the apartment we wanted to live in. It was a great trip because we fell in love with the third floor of the house pictured below!

WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!
Let this new adventure begin.... With a snow storm!!!!
