CONGRATULATIONS SWEETHEART!


While we were in Hawaii, we got the exciting news that Derek has been admitted a spot in the Haas Business School at Cal Berkeley! I seriously couldn't be more proud of him! He put in two hard years of late nights, money spent, grueling tests, proofreading essays, researching and applying to schools more than once.....and it was ALL worth it! These past two years have been so competitive to get into any Grad School (with all the job losses) let alone a top 10.

So we'll be moving back up to Northern California sometime in August to start a new adventure in our lives. We really like it up there, and still have some friends in the area and I feel totally comfortable moving there. Now we just need to register liberal democrat, get our birkenstock's out, stop shaving and buy cloth diapers for the babies.

Congratulations Sweetheart...you deserve it! Go Bears!
