Decision Magic

So, "Barring Unforeseen Circumstances" we will NOT be going to Colorado. We both listened to MANY people whom we respect.....and we have decided that it is time to finish up school and get on with life. We have also decided the best place to do this is near family - which is almost all in Calgary. So, we figured that getting the JD just wouldn't help us out in the Canadian market and we will be staying here....unless we see some reason that changes it, but that is VERY unlikely. YAY!!!

On Wednesday, Kaia pulled out a pot and a spoon and said that she wanted to do a magic show. She was going to make Candy. She had done this 2 Christmas' ago when we were at the Law School Christmas Party. They had a magician come in and she was the assistant. She helped him make candy and was amazed that she actually made Smarties appear.
So, she was going to do this again (she might be a little bit sick of the health kick that Jarett and I are one). She took out the pot and the spoon. She had everyone put in a magic ingredient. She said the Magic Words (which we all yelled "Happy St. Patrick's Day" for - the magicians words were 'Merry Christmas', so, as it was the day after St Patrick's Day, she did her own take on that), took off the lid and was SO disappointed. She was SURE there was going to be candy. I explained to her that it simply just wasn't a magic pot. She seemed to be okay with that response. Sigh....my little magician in the making.

I'm glad you're staying in Canada! Sorry to say it for the US, but Canada is way better!! Are you still going to work on getting citizenship for your two youngest still?

Congrats on the decision. Life is so much better once that decision is made. Good luck with all the details and good luck with more school!
