Bucks?



Well, as many of you know, Brian applied in December for Ohio State's MBA program. He was really desirous to start MBA school right out of college (yes, unconventional). It was a long shot, as the average post-graduate work experience of the students is 4.7 years, but it is what he wanted. So he took the GMAT, applied and we waited. He went out in February for an interview and it went fabulously. They decided however, since he didn't have any post-graduate work experience, but they loved his interview, they'd wait-list him. Yuck. He wrote an email describing his work experience up until this point and we prayed for the best. Last Wednesday, we found out that he is ACCEPTED! Yipee! So after we have our little one in September we will head out to Columbus, Ohio for the next two-year adventure. Yea Brian! I am so proud of him. He put his mind to it by doing all he could do, we prayed for it and God did the rest.

Oh my gosh. I am so mad! We were so thrilled when Logan got into Wash U, but I am so mad now! We were GOING to Ohio State and we have two years left! We could have been together for two whole years with our brand new babies! AAA! I am ticked. But congrats to Brian! :)

Cutest baby ever! Love her already.
Yea, Boo for OSU. At least we get to meet the beebe just before you go, Right?
Do you have a crib yet? Let me know. We have a gently-used one (new for Ivy) and it needs a home. Love you, J

sweetness!!! congrats!!!! my sister lived in columbus for four years while her husband did med school at ohio state and they LOVED it! if you need any pointers on good housing let me know as she'd love to help out. your application process sounds very similar to ours!! not typical work experience and then being waitlisted! but the whole process does teach patience, faith, and trust!!!! so glad it worked our for you, though i will say i'm bummed you won't be coming out to stanford...it would have been fun to be near you at some point!! go buckeyes!!! go brian!
