It's about time to blog again!

It's been a pathetically long time since I've done any blogging and of course lots has been going on, but for anyone wondering, yes, we are alive and we're doing great. Here is just a small start at trying to get updated.

First, the biggest news is that Dan is completely done with grad school. This is his advisor signing his final dissertation. No one knows how monumental that feels for us. Dan had been working at his new job while still editing his draft and boy was it stressful! He has worked so hard and we are both happy to say we survived!



Second, this is the little house on the way. It's not huge, but three times bigger than our apartment is going to feel gigantic! We can't wait until it is finished and we can start our new life here in Utah.


Well, that's a very brief update for now. Next I'm going to start getting our blog all caught up from the past several months. Yikes!
