Update On Our Life

This semester I have been preparing to take my Qualifying exam for my PhD. It is a test that graduate students in Chemical Engineering are required to take in order to pursue a graduate degree in Chemical Engineering. In order to pursue a PhD you have to achieve a "high pass." In order to pursue a Masters you have to achieve a "Pass." It was a three day test 3 hours each day and three problems to solve each day. I took it February 24-27. I found out on Wednesday that I got a high pass! I was so relieved. I have been nervous about this test for so long. So in about 3 to 4 years from now I will have my PhD! Joanna's job has been going good. She is learning a lot and is becoming a great PA. She is the Young Women's camp first aid specialist and she is also the secretary in the Young Women's. So she has a lot of meetings to go to during the week and on Sunday. I am the secretary in the Elder's quorum so that keeps me busy too. We are learning a lot being in our new ward and we really like it.
