Awwh, BCnut! Thank you so much for the encouragement! I knew you had a liking for Brian, I just thought that you thought we were cute just because, but thank you for sharing some of your family’s story with me (and us all on the forum)! Ever since I came to the US I have found people from all over the world with whom I have more in common than with some cousins of mine, and I have come to understand and believe in a concept of a family by choice – people who choose to be a part of your life daily and love and accept you for who you are, not because they are forced to by sharing the same DNA as you. And I have been insanely lucky to have met several such people and to still keep them around. The best one I married and while it was very unfair to not at least let my blood family, or at least my parents know of it, I had my reasons at the time… I don’t know what will happen over the weekend and over the next weeks and what not, but I still do hope for the best.
As for your question – I don’t know. I think Brian wants to go to grad school for cersmics in the US, but we do want to visit more states, Canada, and a couple of Western-European countries and see where we feel like we fit best and which place will offer us the best career and living opportunities.
