This fall Justin started a Masters in Buisness Administration program at U of L. That man is a glutton for punishment I tell you. One master's degree wasn't enough for him so now he's diving in head first for another. Though those 7 months of our marriage without him being in school were pretty sweet, I have to say it's pretty much routine in our household for us to be running like crazy people. We're used to the madness and Justin works great under pressure.
The MBA program has been excellent so far. His classes run in 5 week mini-semesters that meet two nights a week for about 3 1/2 hours per class as well as one Saturday per term. He will take 2 classes a semester for about 20 months. He's currently taking Strategic Analysis and Technology Management. U of L's MBA program allows for a concentration, so later on as the time progresses he will get to focus on International Buisness electives which he's really looking forward to.
As the manager of two stores on campus, Justin's finding immediate application to the things he's learning in school that he can apply to the workplace. I'm excited to see him grow in these areas, and really see a giftedness in him for managing and a love for the things he's learning. We hope that one day we will be able to use the education he is being blessed with now to work in some sort of International buisness venue overseas.
As our adoption began dragging on and on, we asked God to show us how He wanted us to redeem our time. We feel confident that this program was one of the things He wanted us to pursue as we are waiting for our kids to come home and then eventually settled into life with us. Though neither him nor I am excited about all the late nights of paper writing and reading he has before him, we're excited to see how the things he's learning will better prepare us for what God may have for our future.
One month down, only 19 more months to go.... I think I can, I think I can.... :)
