The City of Brotherly Love



It's been FOREVER since I've posted anything and that is such a shame...because life has been so good and I probably should have documented that better!

But I've decided to write now because there's a huge change happening for the Moss family this spring! We are MOVING! Most of you know this already, but may not know the details of when and why. So here we go! :)

Last fall Paul worked his tail off applying for MBA programs. This has been a goal that he's had for a pretty long time. And after all of the months years! of preparing and planning, we finally finished the process and heard back from schools!

We are thrilled to share that he's been accepted into Wharton, the MBA program at Penn (aka The University of Pennsylvania)...in case you are like me and unfamiliar with all of this jargon.

In other words, we are moving across the US of A to live in Philadelphia!!!! Wharton is world-renowned, and as his wife I can brag for him. This is a top top program and I'm so proud of him. He's a genius.

I'm proud to say he was accepted at Tuck (Dartmouth) as well! I have a soft spot in my heart for New England so this was hard to turn down. But then we looked at the average temperatures and felt OK. As a side note, Hanover has the most delicious blueberry pancakes I've ever tasted. Everyone go eat them now.

Long story short we feel great about this new change and couldn't be happier. Philadelphia is a city with lots of charm and with so much history. American history! And they have cheese steaks. So if you know me at all you can tell we will be just fine there.

Oh and there is currently a temple under construction that will be completed while we are there! (It's a 2 year program). I'm so excited about that. (go here to learn more about temples)



Philly will for sure be a change from our Seattle suburb...but we are ready to take on the new challenge.
(it will be a much colder challenge though, brrrr!)

Oh and in case you don't think both of our job changes and moving LITERALLY from sea to shining sea is complicated enough, hold onto your seat... because this is a dual degree program and Paul will be in Tokyo all summer! It's pretty amazing. And crazy. So wish us luck as we depart on our new adventure soon! And call me if you are in Utah or Kansas this summer cause I'd love to catch up.

We are already getting sad about leaving our lovely town of Issaquah, which has truly become our home. We've met so many incredible people through our community, church, and jobs. We will miss it dearly! I recommend Seattle to everyone. OH and hurry and come visit before this summer! Haha!

I would love to hear from all of you about how YOU guys are doing and what's new in your lives! Technology is such a blessing!
