We are moving to California!!
Eric had an AWESOME audition at USC last month and they were really, really excited at the idea of having him study there for his doctorate degree. In the music performance world, a doctorate is called a DMA (Doctor of Musical Arts) rather than a PhD, so I tend to just say he'll be getting his "doctorate" degree there, because it's more easily understood. Anyway, they were SO excited at USC that they gave us an absolutely amazing offer. We actually had a friend here who is from L.A. tell us that the offer we received is unheard of. So YIPPEE!
We're moving in August and have already found a place. The church is just so cool that way. The networking and all! Stanford said, "Call the Institute Director and see if there are other young families in school there and where they live."
So we did.
And there are.
And we found a house to rent.
From members.
So cool.
We will be 30 minutes from Eric's aunt & uncle and cousins. EEK!
5 1/2 hours from my sister in St. George. EEK!
6 1/2 hours from my Grandma. EEK!
9 hours from all the family and friends in the Provo area. EEK!
AND, we'll be just 20 minutes from DISNEYLAND! We'll be living on the Disneyland side of L.A., so if you ever want to visit....DO! And we'll go together!
(And if you already knew about this because you frequent facebook, now you know more of the details!)
