st. louis people

And they are finally rollin in... Brad just got a call from Southern Illinois and they want to interview him too (not one of our top choices but we'd still get in-state tuition). The school is down near St. Louis which reminds me of a story:

When Brad & I were on our way to Chicago last summer we flew Southwest. As most of you know you pick your seating when you board the plane. So at the last minute this family boarded and their kids had to be scattered all over in various vacant seats. Their seven year old son sat next to us and we enjoyed his lively conversation, he was hilarious. At one point he asked us (now I don't know how to say this the most pc way, but he was a little black boy from the city so imagine it in that kind of an accent) "Where you guys come from?", so we told him we were from Utah but we were on our way to visit Chicago. He paused for a moment and considered this and then said "Oh, I thought you was from St. Louis". We asked him why and he responded "You look like St. Louis people!", we laughed and hoped it was somewhat of a compliment. Now I don't know what "St. Louis people" look like, but at least we'd have the seven-year-olds fooled!

We'll keep you updated as we hopefully hear back from more schools!

the very same! It's called Don Antonios, and we took the margarita pic and one outside the restaurant where we both look hot and tan. I cringe every time they go there.

Hahaha. I imagine he sounds something like the "you know what he did?" kid.
