It is official Mike finished his MBA, so we spent the weekend celebrating him for a few reasons. When we were still living in Denver Mike was accepted to Regis University, thankfully when we found out we were moving to Seattle they let him switch into the online program so he could finish his degree over the last two years.
Mike has accomplished a lot and gaining his MBA while he had a full time job and a family to keep happy was not easy. It meant a lot of very late nights of homework after we all went to sleep. We are very very proud of him and thankful for how hard he works for our family.
Max and Amy came over and after having dinner we headed up to Sunset Hill to watch the sunset over Puget Sound. It was also bittersweet as this was the beginning to the end, we were also celebrating Mike getting and accepting a job in Dallas.
I am writing this while sitting in Dallas so the emotion behind the initial decision is all gone, but lets just say it was one of the toughest decisions Mike and I have ever had to make together. It is going on my list of big adult things that I never want to have to be a part of again, ha! The long story short is that there were two positions both with Coca Cola that were offered to him. At first glance it seemed that Minnesota would be the answer and then after further review and looking at all the different factors, family, life quality, career, happiness, ect, Dallas was the clear answer. Let’s just say telling our families who were all obviously rooting for Minnesota that we were so so close to getting “home” that we would be going to Dallas was excruciating. Mike and I are however confident that the right decision was made and fast forward a few months, here we are (dang I need to catch up this blog)!
