Kyle's MBA Graduation

We've been in Bentonville, AR for 7 months now—time flies! Kyle graduated with his MBA from the A.C. Nielsen Center at the University of Wisconsin. I'm thoroughly proud of him. He landed his Marketing Research dream job and here we are.

We bought a house! However, it isn't fixed it up yet. I still have to paint the entire house from top to bottom, replace some flooring and actually hang pictures for once. I make it a point to never put any nails in the walls for fear of loosing our deposit because we've only rented until now and moved so much. We've moved 8 times in our marriage of 4 years! I know its hard to keep track of where we are, so here's a re-cap:

Our Nomadic Timeline (I'll have to make this into an infographic at some point)

Without further adieu, the graduation pictures...

MBA Class of 2010! Woot!

Apparently one of the professors always does this weird thing with his hand on his head and they're poking a little fun—imitation is the purest form of flattery right?


Kyle's parents and sister came for the occasion. They had the privilege of sleeping on our "luxury air mattress" for a few nights, but despite cramped quarters and only one loo, we had a lot of fun!

We were able to introduce them to one of Madison's jewels: Stella's Bakery and their Spicy Cheese Bread...I could really go for some of that right now. Hmm...I think I'm going to have to create a Visit Madison Guide Book with all the things that we loved about it there and will certainly miss!

Next up...Our New House!
