Dan's publication Quoted in Businessweek

On the heals of yesterday's Forbes article.... today Businessweek picked up the topic and also quoted Dan's publication work in the article CEOs with MBAs Greener Than Those Without.

In Dan's line of work, he has done very well with his academic publications. However, when that work is recognized in the popular media, it is even more meaningful. It means that his work has a possibility of making more of an impact outside the academia circle.

Congratulations Honey, I'm proud of you!

I'm so Proud of my Husband!

Dan's research is quoted in Forbes!

I just wanted to share how proud I am of my husband! Dan has worked VERY hard over the last 4 years to completed his Phd, find a job, and stay ahead of the game as far as his publishings and keeping up his vita for tenure.

Most all of his publications are in top journals that are read and used for academic purposes. While they are listed in high regard, it is only recognized in the world of acadamia.

Today Dan's work (along with his cohort from UofA, Heather) was quoted in the popular media of Forbes! It's exciting when their work is recognized outside of the academic world.

Here is where you can read the article "Does an MBA make you unethical?"

Honey - I am so proud of you!!!

...the rest of the story

As Detroit legend Paul Harvey says.. this is "the rest of the story."

We enjoyed our quick trip the Florida, it was a lot of fun! Our boys did awesome in the LONG car ride. We had a car accident on the way home, but were so blessed that everyone had just slowed down from 70 mph, and the car in front of us swerved to the left, and we only clipped him. He decided we just pay for our own damages. I forgot to get photos of the hole in the bumper (still there) and broken headlight (fixed). After that we saw three other accidents within miles of ours. I don't think I like Birmingham traffic....

This concludes my photos from our trip. For more pictures see HERE, HERE and HERE. After graduation, Philip and Joia generously rented a boat from base, and we had fun tubing! It was my boys first time on a boat and tubing. It was a BLAST! We took turns in groups while everyone else stayed at the park and ate at the pavilion, playground and beach area. It was a nice spot that we could pull the boat up to.

After cleaning up from our fun day, we headed for dinner to the YUMMY Five Guys Burgers and Fries then to Baskin Robbins ice cream. We all left the next morning.

First time on a boat!

Thanks for the great time, everyone!!!

Beach vs Pool

Well folks, I am quite behind. I hoped to get these posted before my trip last week, but was not able to get to it. I had an AMAZING time, but more about that later :)

I posted about our Florida trip HERE and HERE. Below are more pictures of our beach and pool trips. It was so much fun!

Silly boys ready to hit the beach!

I was devastated that my boys were not going to see the ocean, then was thrilled the oil was not there! However, the June Grass was there, so we ditched the ocean *sad face* and jumped in the condo's amazing pool!

It was a BLAST!!! Ok, one more post later about our lake experience.... more fun to come!

While at banquet....

Here are some more pictures from our Florida trip! This is very unlike me to post out of time sequence, I'm not sure what has gotten into me :)

There was a banquet the evening before graduation (for banquet pictures click HERE). It was an adult only affair, so my cousin Isaac and my other cousin Jessica's two boys Reagan and Hudson stayed back at the condo with us.

While the parents are away.... we shall play!!!

After everyone left, I prepared a gourmet meal of hot dogs, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, applesauce, bananas and yogurt for the bunch. During the time the kids played on the Wii Fit. Isaac was the one in charge of getting everyone set up on the board and had everyone taking turns. He is such a help!

After dinner we decided to go on an "Exploration Adventure". After everyone agreed to stay with me and listen, we got shoes on. Well, most of us. Hudson said his were too wet and opted to carry them for the trip.

We wondered into one of the other condo buildings and road the elevator all the way to the 12th floor. All the kids enjoyed the view!

Isaac was convinced that the closer they got to the window, the floor started to slant towards the ground :)

We wondered towards the pool and walked the boardwalk that overlooked the pool

Waving "hi" to me from over the water!

Photo Op!

Fun boys :)

THERE we go! The crazies we love.
