University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles
After much interviewing, visiting, debating, praying, crying (okay only one of us cried, and I bet you can guess which one of us it was), and praying again, we have decided to attend USC in Los Angeles, California. Ultimately, USC offered the best combination of scholarships, programs for both of us, long-term flexibility, etc. And the prospect of sunshine and the ocean didn't hurt either ;). Now those of you who really know us know that we are not well suited for big city living.... so what are we going to do about that?! We'll definitely be downsizing a bit from our spacious house in Provo, but we're excited about the prospects of living in the Pasadena/Alhambra area. South Pasadena specifically is on the light rail that runs straight to downtown/USC main campus (the law school for Kelsey) and is within biking distance of the medical campus (the PT program for Jord). Yep, we're going to be on different campuses, but they're pretty close and if we live in South Pasadena area we're optimistic that we can both get to school without commuting in a car on the hell-ish (woops!) freeways of LA.

Here's to a new adventure :). We should be moving in early August, after attending the wedding of these two lovebirds:
Congratulations to Katie (my lil sis) and Taylor for their wonderful engagement and upcoming nuptials! We couldn't be more thrilled for them :).

Ah! This is all so exciting! Congratulations to both of you! I cannot believe you are both so talented, smart and awesome! Plus, just 7 hours away come August! :)
Love you both! Best of luck finishing up your Provo chapter!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You guys are such smarty pants! Very excited that a final decision was made. And I can totally see you guys in pasadena. every time I'm in that area I feel like I can relax and actually smile instead of having to flip off crazies and perverts 24/7. And yeah, driving on the freeways are hell. Also, fun fact: while driving past the light rail last night I saw a clown making balloon animals for people at the very front. Cool or creepy?! IDK.
I bet that was one tough decision. Congrats on knowing where you will live, study, and enjoy sunshine for the next 3-4 years!
Congrats!
All I have to say is that Pasadena is about 4 hours away from Vegas... just sayin- a visit or few is warranted =)
YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!! congrats to you both! it's been a blast to be inspired by both you and jordan and this upcoming adventure. ugh to Exhibit A! ha ha, but that sunshine will surely never get old! congrats and best wishes! xo
Great! My sister and her family actually live there. Her husband is pharmacy-faculty for USC. They live in Alhambra if you have ?s
YAY! Congrats Kels! I am so excited for you guys and crazy jealous you're trading P-town for Cali.... :)
Congratulations! What a fun new adventure. I'm kind of excited that we might see each other once in awhile now :) We'll be back in OC at the end of August!
The land of eternal sunshine . . . I am sure you guys will have a great time there and expect a visit from me. We happen to go to Disneyland a lot. :)
Sun, sea, sand...I miss it all. L.A. Will be lucky to have you. You are right...the less driving the better. We are happy the decision is made and we look forward to hearing of your SOCAL adventures.
Boo. New post.
