A DPH Update

I realize it has been months since I have posted anything on my blog. Here is my update:

1) At the end of January I flew to Arizona to interview for the MBA program at ASU. It was a quick trip but tons of fun. I surprised Kim (her roommate Katie picked me up from the airport and snuck my into their apartment). Here are some good times from that trip.


Notice that Grant's pizza is twice the size of mine. I'm certain he ate more than me that night.


The interview was actually not that great. They had an entire day event that included a tour, sitting in on a class, eating lunch with current MBA students, and an informational session, and then the interview at the end. I enjoyed everything but the actual interview. It just felt a little strange. But that was why I made the effort to go down, to "study it out".

The good news is that the very next day I had an interview with BYU. Which went very well, and leads me to my next DPH update...

2) I will be starting the MBA program at BYU this August. It is a full time program so I will be leaving my position at England Logistics in July. My current plan is to study Supply Chain Management (operations) and minor in Information Systems. Go Cougars!


3) The last DPH update includes my sister Kim, who I will be traveling to Italy with this May. I've never been outside of the continental U.S. so I am very excited. We will fly into Rome and leave from Zurich, so if any readers have been to Italy or Switzerland, we are looking for suggestions!

Holidays!

I was home last week to be with mom and dad for Thanksgiving. I don't have many pictures but here are a couple. You might have already seen this first one on Dad's blog. I put the smiley face on the pie... but you couldn't have planned the cherry filling bubbling out any better if you tried.



While I was there we spent a day at Bodega Bay. Dad and I both went boogie boarding and caught some good waves. We also got a good nap in, there is no better place to nap than on the beach.



THEN tonight my roommate and I went and bought a Christmas tree! We had a good time decorating it and the rest of the room while we listened to Mannheim Steamroller.



HO HO HO!

Happy Birthday

As many of you know, I turned 27 last Friday (Nov. 4). It was a great day, I thought I would just share a few pictures. This first one is what welcomed me when I arrived at work that morning; a present from my friend (and coworker) Tanner, some balloons, and two apple fritters the size of a small child. Not only were they HUGE, but I can confidently say they were the best tasting apple fritters I have ever had. My manager said he bought them at a place called Madbrook Donut Co.



Here is me next to the fritters, to give you some comparison.


After work I went out to dinner with some friends from BYU-Idaho. We went to Biaggi's, an Italian place in downtown Salt Lake. Excellent food.


And that is about it. Thanks for tuning in!
