Is both an option? If so, I saw both! But I do love beethoven's 5
Hi! I remember you from last round you and your husband are going to russia for an internship
Hello! That is correct. Good memory. !
thanks haha When do you go?
In two weeks, if we get our visas. If not, we either will wait another week and hope they come, or go to Latvia instead.
visas are so annoying and hard to deal with sometimes
They are, but I understand why countries would want us to have them. We are optimistic though! And if we do not recieve them, Latvia would still be a neat place to visit!
so youd just have to visit Latvia and come back home?
No, we would just change programs and have an internship there instead.
ahh got cha thats good haha it would suck if you had to come back
We would be sad, but could possibly go the following year.
Thats true this might be a personal question and if you don't want to answer it dont when do you want to have kids?
We will have them when we get them. We fully understand the importance of raising a family, but we also realize that it requires much responsibility  and care. right now, we Think we will have them in a few years. We want them.
Cool!
And have prayed about it, but we feel that now is not the time.
I agree with you about having it when you have it
Why do you ask?
Just wondering. I like to ask couples for some reason It just interesting to listen to their views and interest because kids are expensive and its hard when couples are going to school and stuff
That is true. I know many people make it work, and I admire them greatly for it. However, we both feel our educatoin is extremely important and will help us be ready for our Children. We hvae been married for less than a year and have been grateful for the opportunity to focus on each other. When we have kids, we will be better prepared to provide And care for them because of the experiences we are having. What are your thoughts for your ur future family?
I'd love for my GF to finish school and have her work for a couple years before we have kids she wants that and I think its important for my GF to pursue her dreams because she didn't come to BYU to get married you know?
That is understandable, the neat thing about families is that every family is different. Each one has the agency and the ability to choose what they believe is best for their Family. There is not one single way to raise a family.
yeah definitley and thats why we have no room to judge
Exactly! I often am worried about what many in Utah culture will think when they discover that we ant to wait, but then I remember that it is our life and our agency. We should not have to feel ashamed for doing what we feel to be right.
are you from Utah or different state? I feel like you have a different view than most Utahns
I was born and raised in Utah, but am lucky to live in a family that believes in agency. Having lived in Russia also has helped me see the world differently.
Good for you. That is so important
I agree. I never realized Utah had such a large stereotype until I served in a mission where not many people were from Utah. Where are you from?
Im from South Korea
Oh that is right! But what state did you move to?
UTAH surprise haha
Nice. Do you think you will stay in Utah when you graduate?
all depends on my job I'd like to move out and raise a family out of Utah but I loveeeee Utah and the outdoors
Utah is great for hiking and outdoor sports. My husband would like to raise our kids outside of Utah as well, but it just depends where his job takes us
what about you? raise kids where?
I do not have a strong preference. There are pros and cons everywhere. Both of our families live in Utah, so it would be nice to have our kids grow up next to each other, but I also see the benefits of getting to know new people. As for the cultural views, there are good people everywhere, and as long as my husband and I are able to create a loving atmosphere at home, our kids will have the tools to Choose who and what they want to become no matter where we live.
good point I like talking to you because you have wise responses haha One of the reasons why I want to is because living the gospel and not living the gospel is very black and white outside of utah I've seen people that go to BYU and is from other states and many of them are very strong in the gospel
Well thank you! I enjoy chatting with someone that also is wise and asks good questions. I agree with that. People choose who they are, not their surroundings.
Where does your husband want to live besides Utah? Cali?
He is not sure. He is from Rexburg, and does not want to live in Idaho either, but he wants to go to grade school at the university of Chicago, so that is an option. He wants
ooh chicago that will be interesting place to live at
To start his own business, so we might be able to live anywhere. He simply wants Our children to have the opportunity to grow in their own and not be shaped by the opinions of Society. I agree! Chicago would be super interesting place to live. It is very different than Utah! I am not sure if we will end up thre, though. He is also considering going to Stanford, but he doesn't really want to live in California either. He prefers cold whether (and though I do not like to freeze, since I am a red head, my dermatologist always tells me to live somewhere where the sun rarely shines)
I love the sun and hate the cold Seattle would be a good place for you or San Fran
I have been to both places, but the problem with no sun is that it is easy for people to get depressed. I am an expert at using sunscreen, so as long as we do not end up in The Sahara, i should be ok.
So you like the sun huh good I love the sun so much
I love the sun, but it doesn't love me. We have a love hate relationship. I enjoy being outdoors, but I have to wear long sleeves, a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen if I will Be out for a while.
thats too bad I have a weird relationship with the sun too I can be shirtless and be out rock climbing or hiking all day in the sun and Ill just get tan but when I go boating or hang out around or in fresh water I get heat rash its really bad
That is odd! Maybe it has to do with the water?
yeah I have no idea I haven't been to the doctor but I don't think they would know haha it would be multiple trips to the doctors for them to test me before they find out anything and im not paying for those visits. Too expensive
That is hard about doctors: you wNt them to know everything right away, but they just do not! I did not realize that being a doctor is so much like being a detective!
true
Where do you like to go boating?
We usually go to utah lake do you go?:
I hav never been. My older cousins used to go all the time, but I was too little. Now they go, but we are not very close to them. I am not sure if my husband has gone. The closest thing to boating I have done is going no harbor cruises, but that is not quite the same thing.
no harbor cruises.. was that hard because you never set foot on land?
They only lasted about an hour. It wa mainly to give us tours of the areas we were visiting.
what was the tour? Mexico?
No, one was in San Diego, the other in Seattle, and one in Hawaii.
Hawaii sounds so fun I'd love to visit there
It as probably my favorite family vacation.  My dad wS stationed there, so we were able to visit him for thanksgiving. Hawaii has a very special feeling about it. Even when we Visited the war sites, it was peaceful. Everywhere we went was so beautiful! I recommend it!
for sure!
