We made our final decision about school today. J-P has been accepted to the Duke Cross Continent MBA program and gave them a verbal commitment today. The paperwork is being over-nighted, and we send off our deposit tomorrow. Yikes. We will soon live in the poor house as Duke is about 50 times more expensive than ASU. We are crossing our fingers that in the long run it will be a better investment. Congratulations J-P!!!
p.s. After J-P called Duke and explained the situation with his dad they were nice enough to do a last minute switch of his application from the full-time program to the cross continent program free of charge. We will be staying in AZ, but J-P will be traveling to NC once a quarter for a week long residence. He will also be doing international residences in China, India, and Belgium. I am not looking forward to all the travel, but at least we don't have to try and sell our house. The market is abysmal in AZ right now.

Congrats but SAD, I thought you were all coming to the East Coast when I read "Duke"!!
Congratulations you guys! JP can take some cool pictures when he travels which I'm sure he will love. Hopefully it won't be too hard on you and the boys when he is away. I feel for you MA...not having your husband around to help out with the kids is no fun.
Yeah!!! Congrats! Good luck with it all. We should start a "single mom" support group!
Well done, J-P!!!! Aaron and I are so happy to hear the great news! Plus an amazing opportunity to travel! Hooray!
Apparently, I will be joining the single mom support group soon as well. Aaron tells me he plans to work a LOT of overtime to help us get out of debt and to keep me at home with the girls.
Wow, that's awesome. Congrats! How great you don't have to move. But good luck with the single mom thing.
Congratulations!!! Or should I say sorry. You are going to love it J-p. The travel sounds like fun.
Congratulations! And even better that you will be able to stay in AZ... Feel free to call any time either of you need to complain about how your MBA program runs your life! ;)
