Sorry that I've been absent of late. I've been busy doing reading for my classes and finishing up the PreConference Material for I.Y.O.U. It took me a while to try and find exactly what needed to come from the material the Internationals wanted to use and go to the delegates, but I think that I finally figured it out.

Right before I left to come back to NY, I found out that the University of Hartford was interviewing my dad for the Dean's position at their business school. A few weeks later I found out that the University of Richmond was also interested in having my dad as the Dean of their business school. The crazy thing is that my dad is coming up next weekend and going through an interview process; he's really serious about all of it. There's a really good chance that after Conference, I'll be helping my family move to Richmond or Hartford, though my father would prefer Richmond. This is really exciting and scary all at once. I've lived in the same house in Joshua since I was five years old. If my family left Texas, there would be no definite possibility of me going back. I would want to so I could see Shands and my crew(and I would- I couldn't get by without seeing them) but besides that, there is no reason for me to go back, ever. And, if my parents do decide to move, they would be moving so much closer to me!!! Hartford is two hours and Richmond is eight- I could go back for a weekend or for thanksgiving or for one of my brother's soccer games. But then I wouldn't have anyone to hang out with there. No friend base, no Y.O.U. or high school buddies. I'm very conflicted actually, though my dad tells me out of the entire family, I'm the one who is most excited. Ben is getting married in June and is planning to stay in Dallas..... That means I would see him even less than I do. My mom and Zack don't want to leave because they've been there for fourteen years. Zack is only sixteen, that's practically his whole conscious life....... Yikes, this is crazy!!!

In other news, I've started dating again...... I've actually had three Bard dates this week (two of them of surprise nature), which is CRAZY. Bard dates are hard/interesting because it's guaranteed that you'll see EVERYONE either person involved has ever dated in the time that you're together. There's no way to get off campus so you go to campus activities or sit in your room..... Not the most exciting dates, but fun. I'm being really mindful of everything, not jumping in or assuming, in a weird way I'm just letting go while being conscious of what's going on, if that makes sense at all. Anyway, it's going well.

I'm generally really good right now, little confused with the moving thing but we shall see what happens. I hope that everything is going well for all of you. I love you!

Feel Free and Good Bless.
