As you probably know, we are coming down to the end of our engagement journey. In 20 short days, the planning and madness will give way to our life-long adventure that some like to call marriage. During the past few months, we have been consistently asked the same questions (where will you live, what will you do for work, etc) and we have had the same anwer, we don't know! With the current state of the economy, many career experts are encouraging recent graduates, like us, to take this opportunity to pursue another degree. So, like following their advice, I (Drew) made the decision to return to college in pursuit of a master's degree. The next step in my decision process was to decide on an area of study. Recreation seemed like the logical choice for someone who has spent the last year dedicated to learning the ins and outs of running an adventure recreation program. One problem: in an economic downturn recreational spending is the first spending category to be cut leading to less recreational revenue and, in turn, fewer recreational jobs. Amid this confusing decision process, Holly and I took a trip to Colorado Springs to visit with some of my family. During the visit, the topic of an MBA was put on the table leading me to some sort of epiphany. After much affirmation from family and other mentors, I decided to head in the business direction and pursue an MBA somewhere in Georgia (can't beat in-state tuition). As for Holly, she is currently applying for teaching jobs around the state and hopes to weather the economic storm in a mostly-stable educational field. So, for all of you who have had the same questions as the afore mentioned crowd, you are now as up to date on the situation as we are! Please continue your prayers for us in the waning days of our engagement and stay tuned for updates as we get them!
e everyone- so thanks to all.
