Sorry…

Katya and I have been so busy that we really haven’t had too much time to write on our blog. We have periodically view Laura’s and Mom’s (and now April’s & Valerie's), and it has been so nice to see the pictures and read the accounts of your life.

For those of you that don’t know…Katya was accepted to the Masters of Accountancy at Weber State University. So, that means she will be working on two Master’s at the same time (MBA and MAcc). I am so proud of her. She works so hard to understand the material presented, and spends every spare moment studying. She is mortified by the idea of getting anything less then an “A” in her classes, and so far (knock on wood) she’s received all “A’s” in her classes.

I am finishing up my last semester and will graduate this spring with a double Bachelors degree in Political Science and Visual Communication & Design. A part of me feels relieved that I will be finishing these degrees, but I have plans to go directly into the MBA program here at Weber State, so I know I am not done…

For those of you that have not heard, I have accepted a new position at Weber State University, working for Facilities Management. Previously, I worked for the Dee Events Center as the Custodial Supervisor. I loved this job! It was a very difficult decision to leave, but when opportunity knocks, you answer. My new job title is Area Supervisor. Whereas I was the custodial supervisor over the Dee Events Center, likewise there are supervisor over most of the buildings on the main campus. My new job places me above 7 buildings on campus (Swenson Gym, Stromberg Complex, Stadium, Stuart Library, Lampros Hall, Browning Center, and the Kimball Art). I have gone from a staff of 5 to a growing staff of 33+. It is a difficult and challenging position, but I find that I am cut out for a management role. It fits me well.

Katya and I are happy. We see the blessings of the Lord in our life and recognize His hand in helping us progress and grow. Each year we look back and are amazed at the growth and progress we have made.

We send our love….
