Mongolia we go (again)

hi all,
jesse and i have had a wonderful trip to the states. we started in Seattle hit DC, LA, and Denver plus jesse did a couple of quick jaunts to Ann Arbor, Chicago, NY and Palo Alto. He interviewed at 8 schools and has been accepted to two so far, UWashington and UMich @ Ann Arbor. We are waiting on more offers before making any decisions but will keep you posted.

We also had a wonderful time catching up with friends and family. Thank you so much to all of our hosts, without you it would have been one long uneventful trip.

Highlights:
Seattle: good conversations over pho, fakesgiving, LMW reconciliation, first interview, lady
DC: apples to apples, Liz's party, seeing the gonzali, sierra-tinis, tummy noogies, capital adventures
LA: Nana and papa visit, hanging out with dad, wine tasting, aunts, uncles and cousins, bday party and dinner
Denver: hanging with the crazy loar family, thanksgiving, and christmas in november

It is safe to say we are heading back to mongolia knowing that we are loved at home and with full hearts to serve out the rest of our time. This trip was a much needed recharge and we are (nearly) ready to brave another winter.

Cheers to all.
