So I've been planning to go to Ohio for quite some time now and go the the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science. It is a profession I have wanted to be in for a long time and I have read a lot about it and was very interested.
However, we will not be going. The economy is really scary right now here in Utah and it is far worse in Ohio. After much prayer and thought, I know that now is just not the time for me and my husband to be moving all the way across the country when we are blessed right now to have really good jobs and be so close to our family and friends.
The decision was made for many reasons. Yes, the economy is bad, but there were other factors. Did I really want to drag my husband away from his family too?
I knew I wanted to be a mortician, but I also knew that that wasn't the only thing that I could be happy doing. (That sentence seems strange for some reason :0)
I also knew that even if I did go out there that the school was so expensive that we would be paying off student loans for years and that is not exactly the way I had planned on starting off my marriage.
Oh, and its really cold in Ohio and that isn't all that appealing either.
So here we are. Utah County. (I made Matt promise me that we wouldn't have to stay here the rest of our lives) We got a new little apartment in Pleasant Grove and I start going to school at UVU in January! I'm going to be a behavioral science major, who knows where that will take me, but at least it will be an interesting journey.
