Acceptance & Heartbreak

This past week has been filled with glee... namely my acceptance into the University of Chicago and the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Feelings of relief, security, optimism, and excitement accompanied each admissions letter. Now for the heartbreak..... Today whilst skiing with Tanner, I had an encounter with a rock. No, not the good kind, the kind you soar over... No, the bad kind, the kind that snap skis like twigs. My left ski took the brunt of the impact, just underneath my boot. A four inch tear in the sidewall was the result. Unfortunately, I may not be able to ski for awhile, until costly replacements arrive. I have chosen to look at this as an opportunity to focus my attention elsewhere, towards running, school, friends, and others. I shall try to find some pictures of Chicago and Ann Arbor for you all to bask in. Check out "About BE" for some fantastic cameo shots of Blake and me, as we opened my acceptance letter from Chicago.
