The last few months, weeks and especially days have been a whirlwind! Nearly a year ago, we started figuring out what we would be doing for grad school. Where we would go....when we would go...if we would go at the same time...etc. We visited a few out of state schools, did alot of research for various programs and came to the conclusion that we would try to stay in Utah for school so that we could both get our masters degrees at the same time. Then came all of the applications complete with essays (tons of them), recommendation letters and alot of waiting (4 months to be exact, ah!). I am happy to announce that we finally, finally, finally have all of our plans finalized....(a good way to kick off our One-Year-Anniversary-Weekend).
....Don will be doing a MPA (Masters in Public Administration) at the U (contrary to the original plan of law school)....
....I will be doing a Masters of Education through the Educational Psychology department focusing on Instructional Design and Educational Technology which includes a Multimedia Endorsement (kind of a mouthful!)...
....and the best news of all, we have full-ride scholarships! (Don received an amazing scholarship called the FLAS which is a foreign language scholarship that allows students to do an intensive study of a foreign language and Asian culture alongside their normal course work.).
We are extremely blessed. Extremely!! And, we are looking forward to a good's night sleep! (The first in many weeks). We are now gearing up for moving in 2 weeks, which is another story for another night. It involves a crumbling balcony and our relocation 200 feet away.
Congratulations!!! That sounds wonderful and can't wait to hear the story of the reason for moving.
