Working for University of Phoenix often brings up the question of whether or not I am going to school. I wanted to post a quick update and history of both Dyan and my educational background just to give a heads up for everyone. Dyan graduated from Mountain View High School and then went to Mesa Community College and finished a transfer Associates Degree in Business Accounting and then transferred over to ASU where she is finishing a degree in Accounting and Finance as double majors. If all goes well she should be finished with all her courses by December of 2009. She was almost finished with her Bachelors in Accounting when she found that with five extra classes she could double major. We talked about it and she decided to go for it. We are excited about her progress and the prospect of her graduating in December. I graduated from Westwood High School and after taking a month and a half off of school started the two year mission for our church and was called to Guatemala. After that I started working with University of Phoenix and attending Axia College to receive an Associates degree in Health Administration. I finished the AA in June of 2008 and am now in the process of finishing my Bachelors in Health Administration from University of Phoenix by September of 2009. It has been an interesting road and we have both actually been together since Dyan started at ASU and through the end of my Associates and now through my Bachelors. We are both looking at what educational paths might lie ahead of us. Dyan is still thinking about whether or not she will be pursuing a Master's degree and I am planning on starting my MBA in January of 2010. We will see what the future hold for us educationally as well as in our family and personal life.

Big move for Mom and Dad
We got some interesting news a couple weeks ago that my dad is going to be transferred by the end of May. My parents have always planned on heading out east to finish his career with CES but they got a call from Salt Lake and I guess it just wasn't in the cards. They are actually being transferred to San Luis Obispo, CA. Anyone who knows my mom though is very aware that she is going to be in heaven about 20 minutes from the beach and of course dad is excited because he gets to work with kids and not be in some stuffy office some where. Dyan and I took the news a little hard as it has just been about a year since we lost Dyan's mom and the news that our only other parents were moving out of state was a little hard. I think it was probably harder as well since we have been talking more and more about when we want to start our family and having mom and dad Abbott close by was always kind of the plan. I learned in the MTC that no growth can happen inside your comfort zone and I have come to see this as the Lord booting me out of my comfort zone once again. The blessings that will come from this transfer though will be something amazing I am sure. Plus we have talked about it and everyone we ask have said that San Luis Obispo is possibly the most beautiful part of California. We are excited to have some place to vacation now with out having to pay for a hotel and with a knowledge that my dad and mom will not point us wrong when it comes to places to see and eat. I don't think that you could ask for a better pair of vacation guides. Till May I guess we will have Dad and Mom might be around till the house sells so no big changes just yet.
