It's HOT!! We are doing our best to keep cool and busy. Our summer is filled with morning walks, pool time, table foods for Sean, Cars-The Movie, friends, cub scouts and fun! I love my kids and I love that I get to spend the days with them. Mark is in the middle of his busiest season of Graduate School yet. He will be going to an Engineering conference in Colorado for 5 days in August. This will be a long time for our Dad to be away and he will be missed. Immediately after returning from his trip he will be presenting his research to his board of Professors. They will evaluate his work and then give him the green light to begin writing his dissertation. This is a big step for Mark! He will be in a position to start researching job opportunities and is on track to graduate in April. We will most likely be moving out of state for a job. We love Utah. We love living close to our families but we have to go where the jobs are. This will be a major change for us but we are confident that we will end up in the best situation for our family.
