Decisions! Decisions!

Over the past few months, Nishant and I have gone back and forth about what we're going to do after he graduates from fellowship and University Housing officially kicks us out at the end of July. He'll be joining a private practice in Newport Beach in addition to working at rehabs in Orange County and continuing his gig at a research clinic in Torrance. I will (hopefully) be starting school in October and working part-time. We weren't sure whether or not we wanted to give up the income and benefits we're getting with my current full-time position, so we considered moving to somewhere in the South Bay (i.e. Hermosa Beach or Manhattan Beach) so I could keep my job. After an eye-opening weekend filled with discussions about our future and a candid conversation with his soon-to-be partner at the practice, we ultimately realized that moving to Newport - though a huge change and slightly precarious situation financially - would finally allow us to embark on the first few years of marriage that we've been so eagerly anticipating.  We'll both be furthering our careers and will be able to spend more time with each other (and less time commuting) - two things we're really looking forward to! Come August, the Kumars will be living in Newport Beach!
