Job, School, Cruise and Hike!

Well Joanna has graduated and started her first job as a P.A. She is doing great. She is catching on quickly and is excited to use all of the skills that she has been learning through her schooling. She works at a family practice clinic in Orem. I have been working on research for my PhD through the summer, but I just started my graduate classes here at BYU. They are going to require a lot of time and effort. Luckily my professor has assigned some undergraduates to work with me so I have time to do good in my classes and still continue my research.

Before Joanna started her job and I started my classes, we went on a 5 day cruise to the Bahamas. It was so fun! We left out of Miami and went to Key West, Nassau, and then to Coco Cay island. We did a lot of snorkeling. We also went para sailing in Key West. Then just yesterday we climbed Mount Timpanogos. Neither of us had climbed it before and we decided it was time. We got up to the base of the mountain by Aspen Grove by Sundance and started hiking. It took a really long time, about 9 hours. Towards the summit it was kind of scary, there were a lot of cliffs and loose rocks. But we made it! There are some pictures of that below also.
