Two Years Old & Daddy's got an MBA

Madelyn turned 2 today and just four days ago I finished my last class for my MBA Degree. I have been in school for her entire life. I missed a lot of things but I saw a lot of the fun stuff too. Hopefully this sacrifice will pay big dividends that will be for the good of our whole family.

It's amazing to me to think that I started this program days after she was born. Her actual due date was August 5th which was day one of my residency week to kick off the MBA Program. Then wouldn't you know it she came July 4th making for an entrance on our nation's birthday and saving Dad a lot of negotiating with the school so he could be there to see her born. Small miracles, the least of which was my beautiful 7lb baby girl.

It is finished

I completed my very last class of the 2 year MBA. WOW!!! It's such a great feeling to be done.

European Forgeign Business Excursion

Elizabeth & I left for my FBE today and the kids are staying with Grandma Kjar. We've made lots of preparations for this trip and if all goes well we will be able to video conference with the kids each day. I'll have one class when I get back but for the most part the program is at an end.

Carter's 6th Birthday

Hard to believe Carter was born 6 years ago. What a great kid I love him so much.

Bret's Wedding

At the end of a great week in California we went to Bret's Wedding and saw him wed to Lau from Argentina. The reception was really fun with a Latin flare to it. Lots of fun dancing.

When it was done we went back to the hotel to get a good night's sleep and be a little further along our route for a good start home tomorrow. Going to drive straight through from Southern California to Orem.

The only downside of the whole trip was that we lost our digital camera. It's not such a big deal about the camera as it is the pictures we lost with it. Life goes on.
