He's Off!





The busy summer has begun! Last week Mark started his last summer semester at the University of Saskatchewan to finish up his Master's in Accounting. The semster runs from May until the end of July, then he begins Mod 6 (all of August) before he writes the big dreaded exam in September. Very stressful stuff...



Josh and I are staying in Edmonton and Mark is able to visit us on weekends. We thought it over about us going with him but the cost is much too high and I know we'd be a big ditraction. It really is hard not having Mark here... we are going to be so happy when this is all done so we can have Daddy back!


Mark is studying super hard and we try to make weekends a nice mental break for him when he comes home. Last weekend was Mother's day weekend and we had an awesome time. We started it off with a Stake 5 k run, went to West Edmonton Mall to ride the train (free with Josh), Mark made an awesome meal, and then went swimming as a family. It was awesome!




We miss Mark a lot and we are so grateful for what an amazing Daddy and Husband he is. We love him so much! Thank you Bill and Pat for raising such an amazing son!

  2. Sounds like a great weekend! Makes you appreciate each other so much when you have to be apart, doesn't it? I guess that's the good part about it. Hang in there and enjoy the journey. We're all praying already for great results on his "little quiz".
