There's a COUGAR in the house!

Lance is going back to school. The original plan was to complete a Masters in Mechnical Enginerring at UTD. Easy enough, right?

As we got more into the process, he realized that his previous undergrad degree (electrical engineering) wasn't compatible to apply to the mechanical engineering master's program. So the new game plan is to complete another undergrad degree, this time in mechanical engineering. A lot of his previous schooling credits will transfer, so he will be a junior at the end of this semester. He has talked to his academic advisor and we will be able to enter the Master's program his senior year. GO TEAM!

He will be taking majority of his classes at the University of Texas at Dallas, but a few generals at the local community college. (MUCH CHEAPER!) I walked past the computer while he was registering for classes at the local community college and realized their mascot was a cougar! The children and I have our BYU cougar shirts, and now Lance doesn't have any excuse not to wear one now. A cougar shirt is coming your way once I look at my options on the BYU bookstore website.





Can't wait to have Daddy in the picture with his cougar shirt next time!

Congratulations! Scary and exciting all in the same. You can do it! Best wishes for both, yes, both of you. I think every couple should support their spouse through school sometime in their marriage. It is humbling and strengthening with the right attitude!

Congrats on Lance going back to school. That is a HUGE leap! Clay is thinking about it. We are still weighing out our options. Your kiddos are sure getting big!
