Tennessee Bound

Well, the month of March was an absolute whirlwind in the Gilmore home.  I started the month off with a weekend trip to Memphis, Tennessee for an interview with the University of Memphis.  I really enjoyed my time there and was really impressed with everyone I met at the University.  After the interviews, I met up with the Andersons for some Memphis BBQ.  It was delicious.  

It was also a mountain of food that I couldn't finish, so I had the leftovers for dinner in the hotel room.  In the following weeks I had more interviews, but only over the phone or Skype.  I found myself last week with multiple acceptance offers and the task of making a very important decision.  In January I had psyched myself out so much about getting into a program that I applied to over 10 places, and now in the end of March I felt blessed/silly that I had been accepted to 8 of them.  Great position to be in, but also stressful worrying about making the wrong decision.  So my family joined me in a fast and of all the places, Cory and I are super excited to announce we are heading to Memphis!  I personally feel really great about the decision, and while there were other great offers, I think Memphis is the next chapter for us.

So after making the decision I became infatuated with all things Memphis.  I read up on the city all the time and look up interesting facts.  I even went looking for a Memphis Grizzlies hat at the malls.  They didn't have any, but it's all good.  I already looked up tickets to a Grizzlies game and you can get tickets as cheap as $6.  That is what I am talking about.  Here is another classic reference to Memphis for your enjoyment.

Anyway, that is our March update!  I definitely have senioritis, and can't wait to graduate in three weeks!
