For at least a month now, Pam and I have been trying to decide whether to stay here in Massachusetts till I finish my degree or move back to Winnipeg this summer and finish my degree from there. Being home at Christmas really made us aware of how much we miss it. We spent most of January wishing we were living in Winnipeg instead of here. We were also aware of how a move back to Winnipeg could negatively affect my work. It’s not an uncommon occurrence for a PhD candidate to move away from his advisor and fellow graduate students and never finish his degree. I’m not sure we were completely ready to make the decision yet, but—I won’t go into all the details—certain deadlines were looming and we had to make the call. We’ve decided to move back to Winnipeg this summer. We don’t know yet when exactly the move will take place, though, if it were up to us, we would move sometime in June or early July. We look forward to seeing all of you again. Anyone want to come help us with the move?

I was on a ‘computer break’ for the last few weeks…this was a fantastic thing to come back to!! You actually made me cry! 🙂 I’m very excited for you (and me!). We’ll chat soon.
We’re quite looking forward to the move ourselves.
