Problem

I tried to install YouCompleteMe on Mac for vim, but I've been using the system vim which is version 7.3. I tried to update my vim using homebrew by typing `brew install vim` and everything seemed to be fine. When I type `vim` I still see the system vim loading (version 7.3). I feel like I'm missing a step that's keeping me from using the updated `vim` I got from homebrew. Does anyone know what I'm missing? For reference when I type `which vim` I get the following output `/usr/bin/vim`. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
