Finally Licensed

I found out yesterday, through round about means, that my license to practice psychology was issued. This is a great relief. I would like to thank Heavenly Father and all of you for your support and encouragement in this long process.

On another note, my family has a new prayer request. Please keep us in your prayers as I look for a new job. My last day at Aurora Plains will be July 16th. While the choice was not fully my own it is a great time for me to be looking as my residency is now over and I am a marketable psychologist. We know that all will move forward in the Lord's plan, and there are already new opportunities on the horizon. (also the severance package offered was quite generous.) We love you all, and again Thank You.

In the Mail...

As you all know I recently graduated from MTI.

Something you dont know is that I did not get a diploma.

we had classes up to and including graduation day, so to give our instructors time to get grades in and to make sure all of our fees were paid, etc. etc. they only give us a diploma case. with a nice little letter inside that says essentially, congratulations, and hope you have a successfull life. you should receive your diploma in the mail before June 30. ( almost two months after our graduation day.)

Well, today I got my diploma in the mail. I have put it in the case and now I can put the case and diploma, into my cedar chest with my high school diploma.

one more thing off my summer checklist.

personal progress

A while ago: I set the goal: to earn my YW personal progress by age 40. I have not really had the time to work on this for the last 3 years as I have been busy with school. however yesterday as I sat in church and listened to a talk by one of the YW in our branch, I realized that I have now completed my Knowledge value project. Go to school and earn a degree. Yay!! one step closer.

Graduation

I bought my cap, gown and tassle today.

graduation is this friday. and I realized today that I didnt mail out invitations. so anyone who might be in the neighborhood on friday.

Graduation is May 7, 5 pm at the corn palace in Mitchell SD.

Love you all and thanks for your support!!!

Seminary

Jim and Echo finished seminary this morning. They enjoyed the year and they did a great job at waking each other up and getting the computer turned on on time. I am really greateful for a great teacher who was also always there with a great lesson and enjoyed teaching them. I think the webcam classes were a great idea. Thanks to Sister Smith, Maggie, Jim and Echo. Good job to finish!

New Calling

Several of my friends had asked what I was going to do with myself when I was done with internship and then school. I told them I didn't know but I was sure something would come up.

So yesterday, I was released from my calling of R.S. Counselor. and given the new calling of R.S.President. I am able to have two counselors, until one of them moves which she is planning on doing at the end of the summer.

Yep, something came up.

Graduation!!!

Today I filled out my

REQUEST TO GRADUATE

YAAY!!!!

I was told that MTI no longer sells announcements because no one bought them. SO I will be designing some on my computer and mailing them myself.

Graduation is May 7th. I am not sure what time yet.
