And The Winner Is...

After applying to 7 University PH.D Statistic programs and being accepted into 6, Tyson narrowed schools down to University of California Santa Barbara and The Ohio State University. We went and visited both schools. We enjoyed Santa Barbara and UCSB campus was beautiful, it's right on the beach! Ohio States campus is steeped in tradition and beautiful in its own way, it was obviously nothing like USCB, it was cold and there was still snow on the ground. Visiting both schools was a great experience for Tyson and he loved both schools. It took him a few days after visiting the schools to decide which school would be his best fit, but he did make his decision. So for those of you who don't know Tyson will be starting grad school at The OHIO STATE University, working towards a PH.D in Statistics. We couldn't be more happy,excited and blessed!
!Congratulations TYSON! GO BUCKEYES!

We are also looking forward to sitting in Ohio States Stadium cheering on Our Ohio State Buckeyes! The Buckeyes football stadium is one of the most recognizable stadiums in college sports.


A little geography lesson

The City of Columbus


The Statistics Building 'Cockins Hall' on Campus, This is where Tyson will spend lots of his time!


Hooray for Tyson - he is Amazing! Ohio is going to be Fabulous! We look forward to moving to Columbus at the end of August!

Uh OH! This is not good news for our friendship.. we're at UofMichigan, and these are serious football towns. We're going to be really bad at football this year so lets try not to let it get between us.
