Ok, So Remember Our Crazy Busy Month???

Well, despite all that, Robbie STILL managed to pull off yet another A! Way to go, babe! We love you!!

Deja Vu

I have to admit, I worried that Robbie would really struggle with taking masters courses while trying to hold down a full-time job (and full-time look for another), all while trying to be a great husband and daddy, but I am currently eating my words. With every meal.

He's incredible.

Truly.

He just pulled off his second A. That, my friends, is 2 for 2. He is excelling, and is really doing better at every aspect of his life than he may have ever done before.

At this rate, ANY employer would be an idiot not to hire him.

Heck, I'd hire him! :)

Grad-ya-may-shun!

I guess at some point I should probably blog about Robbie's most recent achievement: college graduation. He graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology (it's old and cliche, but what the heck--he's full of psychology bs....!). Anyway, despite the comment in parentheses, I really am so proud of him and his hard work.

He officially completed all his requirements in August, just a few weeks before Dax was born. The few semesters prior to his graduation were intense, to say the least. He was working until 2 or 3 a.m., had 7:30 a.m. commitments, school, and about an hour of down-time (read: homework time) before he'd head back to work. Every day. Poor guy. He really has accomplished quite a bit, and I am so grateful he is my husband!

Robbie's parents and sister braved the storm in order to make it to the commencement ceremony, and afterward, we headed to Maddox Steak House in Brigham for some yummy meat. Mmmm....steak.... :) We are so grateful for the support they show us. We have the BEST family!

Way to go, babe! I'm so proud to be your wife.

DONE AND DONE!

Today marks the end of two eras: I am officially done with work to be a stay-at-home mom, and Robbie is officially done with his bachelor's degree! We are so excited. Maybe one day, Robbie will post some pictures of the things he photographs with his new graduation gift: a Nikon D80. He's pretty stoked.

school...

It's apparently about time I wrote another entry...School started this past Monday, and

Robbie and I are as busy as ever:  Robbie is taking 13 extremely intensive credits this time in order to finish up by the end of the summer and is also working full time still at Icon Fitness.  I am working part-time at the child-development center at Logan Regional Hospital and taking 18 very intensive credits.  

People keep saying that it's not permanent, but when does it end? :)

Both of us are very excited about our courses:  they should be very helpful and interesting (except for Robbie's physiological psychology class, which he is LOVING--blech!).

The End

Finals are officially over. Nothing could make me happier. I had two finals on Wednesday, two more on Thursday, along with a final project that didn't actually begin working properly until this morning, and the biggest one, Physiology, this morning at 7:30. On my way up to campus this morning at about 7:15 a.m., I came to the bottom of Old Main Hill, and my car ran out of gas.

When I called Robbie to get some help, the conversation went something like this:

"Robbie, the car ran out of gas."

"Okay. Call me back if you need some help."

(awkward pause.)

"Robbie, I need some help."

...Robbie has no recollection of this conversation.

Luckily, Robbie was quick when he came to help me out, and I made it to campus on time. It's been quite the day.

Regardless, it's all over. Until January. The saga continues...

Ok, so I need to complain a bit: I hate school today. That's all.
