Our decision

Brothers, sisters, and friends who are interested... we, Anne and Mandy, long-separated by higher education and that silly U.S.-Canada border, will be reunited this summer when Mandy graduates from college and Anne finishes her post-bacc program. We have finally reached a decision about where to move this summer. Front running cities included Brooklyn and Seattle, but we kept coming back to:

Columbus!

Our apologies to all cities other than Columbus, which are undoubtedly feeling a little rejected. And to Brad, for our failure to make it across the Mississippi.

By the end of the summer, we plan to be somewhere adorable in the Short North, enjoying a low cost of living, re-establishing our residency in Ohio to enjoy low tuition rates later, going to yoga classes after work, hiking and exploring on the weekends, and stealing dinners from Ben and Julie. Most importantly, we plan to be around for a while as Ella and Sophie are growing up. Serious apologies to Moira and Evie for not being around when you guys were living in Columbus- our bad.

All will be welcome at our pad of coolness. (Mandy takes responsibility for this last line)
