Chicago, here we come??

I am proud to announce that my amazingly wonderful talented smokin' hot genius of a husband has been accepted to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business!

He won't tell you this himself, but Chicago's is the number one MBA program in the world right now. It is such an awesome opportunity! However, the tuition is crazy expensive. We're talking $100,000 of debt easily.

Matt has also been accepted to Arizona State University here in Tempe. He was offered a partial scholarship and a graduate assistantship there, so we really wouldn't have to take out loans at all. Plus we would be close to family, friends, and the place that Matt wants to settle down some day.

There are definitely pros and cons for each school so we have a lot to think about in making a decision. It is great to have options and we're excited to start the next phase of our life! We'll let you know when we have a solid plan.

Patty-cake

The other day, Matt and I got the urge to make a cake for our friend's baby shower. It's a fun creative outlet for us and it's a project we can do together. I think we agreed that this one is in our top two. I was a little obsessed with its cuteness -- I opened the fridge about a hundred times yesterday just to look at it! The only sad part is I forgot to take a picture of it before I left for the shower, so I'll have to settle for cell-phone-camera quality in my scrapbook. (The top picture shows the front of the cake and the picture below shows the back.)


In other news:
Josh got his first top tooth yesterday! That makes three altogether now. He is having fun exploring how they click together when he closes his jaw, and all week he has been biting everything in sight. Look out world!
