Update
Okay, I keep thinking that if I hold out long enough Carol will post, but clearly that is not the case. So, just a little update on what has been going on here. I am approaching what should be my last year of school. I am going to be teaching an intro to psych class, as well as TA-ing for an Intro to psych II class. Also, I am working on my last two research projects before I can do my Dissertation. One of them is all done, with the minor exception of writing it up (which I am loathing, since I have written the same thing in two other papers with slightly different analyses, which got scrunched down to one and is now waiting for final review before it gets sent out for publication). On top of that I am studying for my comprehensive exams which are scheduled for the 30 and 31 of August. (Extra prayers would be much appreciated). Beyond that, I had an interview today for a job at Bank of America. The guy that I count tithing with on Sunday's works there and has helped me out a lot getting me the interview, and hopefully a new job. The actual job is underwriting mortgages, but since my minor has been stats, I am hoping that some time in the future I can transfer to a research area, and use some of this education that I have been accumulating for what seems like forever. If I get that job, I will be working in Plano from 7-4, head home for dinner, then off to school to work on my proposal/research/teaching/TA-ing. I gotta say, I am a little worried I might be spreading myself a little thin. Anyway, whether or not I am we will see if I get the job. Beyond that, the girls are starting school next week. I don't know how excited they are, but Carol and I are looking forward to it. Hopefully, I can get a little more studying in while they are at school. Maren will start Pre-K, which she has been excited for since ohhh, December of last year. Thursday is Jess' birthday. Cora and Emmett are doing great, and we just keep on going. Hope everyone is else is doing well.

Thanks for the update. It's good to hear what you guys are up to. Good luck with the job and your exams. We will keep you in our prayers. I can't believe Maren is doing Pre-K. Where does the time go? ~Meredith
Wow. Good luck with those exams. They are right around the corner. You'll do great. That is awesome about Bank of America. You're in our prayers for sure. How was the girls' first day yesterday? I tried calling Carol but didn't reach her.
See you Satruday...let the party begin! ;)
Your schedule is reminding me of the year Mark was taking a full course load, took his prelim exams, wrote and defended his dissertation proposal, taught an undergrad class and practiced therapy, taught early morning seminary, and Braden was born. So I just have to say, we survived it and you will too -- there's an end to the madness, just hang in there! (You're so close!)
