"What are you going to do after you graduate?"
I had a couple of options:
1. Move back to North Carolina- I have half of my family there, including the parental units. I have an established repoire and awesome friends with my home/family ward. I would be able to save my money and build a cottage by the pond. It would be easy to find a job teaching. I miss the beach, lighthouses, and ACC basketball. I would buy season tickets to my alma mater.
2.Stay in Utah- It would be easy to stay in my ward with the established friends I have made and keep some stability in my life. I have a great place to live(great roommate and cheap rent in a great location.) I have family members here. It would not be difficult to find a teaching job, although the pay would be cheaper than #1 and #3 areas.
3.Move Back to Washington State- I have an established relationship with some people in that area. Some of them have been my fake family and I miss them, because they took care of me, when I lived there with no family. I have a job waiting for me at a school, I love, and students, I love. I miss feeling needed. Yes, I get attached very quickly. I will be close to the ocean, my lighthouses, and Seattle (including my Mariners.)
4. Move to somewhere new-Yeh, that is not really an option. I don't think I can fincially, emotionally, and mentally pick up and move at this time.
What did I decide? I will not lose sleep over it anymore or avoid answer the questions about my future life.
I picked option #2.

Dang! Even though I knew you were probably staying in Utah, my heart was pitter pattering thinking MAYBE just MAYBE you'd come here! But hey, we're close to your parents now so it's all good! Congratulations on a big decision taken care of!
boooo we don't like your choice but we will support you that's what family does :-)
Hey! That was fun reading through your thought process. We'll be happy to welcome you back to NC anytime darlin'.
Good luck Rachel!
I personally like option #3 but #2 is good...
Sweet!!!! I will have you here with me. Ok, so if you get "sick" of me Rachel, just say so and I will stop being annoying. Of course, I like option #1 b/c then that would motive Troy and I to for sure move to the East Coast when he gets done. Oh wait maybe we all can move at the same time in a couple of years!
hehehe

Yeah, You're staying in Utah! We'll have to get together sometime. I hope things are going well for you. I feel like I have no idea what's going on in your life anymore and I feel bad about that. Keep me posted.
Aw, man! I thought it would be number 3 for sure. We miss you, lady. Especially right now, during basketball season. At least come back and visit us every once in a while.
Rachel, you're so awesome! Chances are greater I'll see you in Utah than in any of the other places so I'm glad you'll be there. I thought for sure ACC basketball would've trumped all other factors for you......
Wait a second, I don't recall anyone asking MY opinion. I think you should be here in NC. But I guess I'm too late. Had fun seeing you here though.
Dang!!! I was hoping you were going to say #3. I sure miss you.
i approve
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn't be happier!
Congrats Rachel. We are in that process right now and it is so hard to decide. I am glad you have that taken care of. Still hopping to see you sometime this year though!
YAY! This makes me happy. I would have been very upset if you had moved elsewhere!
