He dun it!

This "update" is coming rather late, but I really wanted to share the happy news.  Daniel has graduated from Arizona State University with a masters degree in Electrical Engineering!!

The stats:

  • Three and a half years to complete the degree, including ten courses taken (one course was a project-class.)
  • 5,207 bowls of popcorn munched upon while watching classes at night, after the kids went to bed and sometimes in the morning while we all were sleeping.
  • One time stepping on campus -- that's right, the entire degree was completed via internet from here in Texas.  He experienced campus for the first time when he came to walk at graduation.
  • Two Ira Fulton colleges:  There are two engineering colleges in the country named after Ira Fulton; Daniel has received a degree from both:  Bachelors from BYU and Masters from ASU.

We started the degree with a six-month-old son, and now we have three wonderful children.  We have been so blessed.

We are SO PROUD of our husband and father.  Hooray, Daniel!

Congrats! What a relief! Lon is working on his doctorate degree, all via the internet. I will be relieved when he is done in August! And, you have an adorable family.
