About a week ago Charlie and I received some pretty great news. It looks like we will be moving to Stanford in the fall, Charlie got into the MBA program and we finally know where we will be...for at least two years. I was thrilled with the news, not only because he totally deserves to go to Stanford and will probably do amazingly well there, but I don't have to move to the east coast! Now don't get me wrong, the thought of long cold winters and living in a completely new place does have a particular appeal... but we get to stay in California! I don't have to start my business completely over, I get to continue to enjoy the beautiful California weather, I get to stay close to my family. All great things.

Charlie is so excited to start this next chapter, and so am I. Getting into his first choice school is a dream come true. I feel like we have been putting every ounce of good juju towards Stanford, just willing him to get in. I know my mom would have probably gone to the dean herself and begged if she thought it would  help. But, no begging was required. Despite coming from South Africa, with no network here and no job prospects. Despite his many obstacles along the way, despite his broken arm: Charlie got into Stanford. And I am so proud of him.

So, we are probably going to get in quite a bit of traveling in before moving down to Stanford in August. I am going to continue to enjoy my cute little flat as long as possible, our next abode will probably not be quite so charming. As much as I love Stanford I am not sure student housing is going to compare with the beautiful light that fills our current home. But, I am certainly not going to be complaining, we are overwhelmingly fortunate.
