spring training baseball...

One of the joys of living in the Phoenix area is being able to enjoy Spring Training Baseball! 12 Major League teams call the Phoenix/Tuscon area their home for a few months and the games are a lot of fun.
Yours truly at a Royals/Dodgers game. Surprisingly the Royals won.

Since I am spending so much of my time within the walls of Thunderbird School of Global Management working on my MBA in International Marketing Strategy, I thought it appropriate to share a little bit about this sunny place...All in all, it has been a wonderful experience thus far and I would recommend it to anyone!

"Since its founding in 1946, Thunderbird has been synonymous with global leadership in business education.

This leadership is recognized by major publications around the world, which have consistently named Thunderbird as a leader in global business education. The following is a list of our current rankings."

My sister Haley

Last month my sister Haley came to visit, just her. We had a blast. She is growing up so fast. I was so happy she came, we went go-karting (WE LOVE IT) and to the science center. She showed two books that she wrote and illustrated and let me tell you they were a better job than I could've done. She gets straight A's all the time and is a very intelligent, sweet person. She is such a great example to me and I told my dad that if he ever wants to give me money or anything, he needs to buy her a ticket to come visit. I really haven't been able to see her much since I've been in college and married, so it was a great time. I love you Haley!

I try to Imagine...

"Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one...."

-John Lennon
