BYU MBA Graduation 2010


FINISHED! Mathew graduated from BYU on Friday with his MBA. He has accepted a full time offer with American Express in NYC and we will be moving out to Manhattan at the end of June. These past two years in Provo have been such an incredible experience for both of us. Mathew has made some of the best friends he will ever make and I have as well. As Mathew has traveled and been consumed with school work, projects and presentations my friends have become more like my sisters. When we started the program Elle was 5 months old...now she is an energetic, chatty, independent 2 year old. We are really going to miss this place and our friends!

Also, this graduation was extra special because Janet (Mathew's mom) and Amelia (Mathew's sister) flew out here to be a part of it. It was so wonderful to see them and spend time with them. Thank you so much for coming out here to be a part of it, it means so much to both of us!
