michael defended his thesis...and passed! and we have a place to live in boise!

 after years and years of school

and lots of hard work writing his thesis

 michael defended his thesis yesterday

and he passed!!!!

now he just has one last final to do and he'll graduate on friday!

 i am so proud of michael

as hard as getting a masters in electrical engineering has been

he is always here for our family

and the best dad

and husband

i think we're both still in shock that he's finally done with school

michael and i both graduated with our associates in arts almost 7 years ago

and then he did night classes and distance classes

before deciding on engineering as a major

and to go back to school full time 5 years ago

it's been a long road

and i am so proud of him 

and so happy it's over

....

we also had some other good news yesterday, too

we got approved to rent the house we really want in boise

it's 5 bedrooms (yay!), near a big city park and splash pad

plus it has a community pool and playground, too!

i cannot wait to spread out!

it's over double the square footage of our current home

and we really need the space! 

 yesterday was definitely a good day! 

i have been thinking about this journey we've been on while michael's been in school

we have met so many good friends

and made so many memories

in pullman and springville

i wouldn't change a thing

and..i'm pretty sad to be leaving utah

i didn't expect that

but i have had such awesome friends here

friends who have brought meals and flowers and baby gifts

and send texts just to check on me

they're always willing to help and so supportive

i will miss this place for sure
