Austin Crawls!

We have an AMAZING son! He is so strong and active. I got home from work today and Jaclyn starting telling me stories from her day. Then as we were about to eat dinner, Jaclyn says, "Oh yeah, Austin starting crawling today." I was shocked! He had started to reach out and "inch" forward, but hadn't made any kind of real progress yet, so today's news suprised me. If you take a look at the videos below, you can see he has his own style, but I think it is cute. He is my hero!

It's Official!

After some deliberation, I have decided to go back to grad school this fall. Jaclyn and I discussed it and we felt right now was the best time in a number of different ways. BYU made the decision much easier by awarding me a scholarship that will pay for most of tuition for the first year. We feel so blessed.

So, now we start preparing to go back and be students again. I'm a little nervous about going back and using all my study skills. I had a dream on Sunday night that I wasn't prepared and had a hard time. I hope it's not a sign of what will happen the first few weeks of class, because the dream really stressed me out.

I'll have a pretty tough schedule for classes. The MPA program is a 2 year-4 semester program with 57 total credits. That means I have about 15 credit each semester and I will also complete an internship between academic years.

Anyways, Austin really wants to type and is ending this blo?g entry early. Austin your turn: nb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 3.2klk mkm .
