Mark finished his classes this week! Lucky for him, he didn’t have any final exams. He did complete his final group project and presentation for Statistics on Monday. We are looking forward to celebrating his graduation next Thursday!
In addition to classes, Mark was finally able to begin hands-on research with the Great Salt Lake! On Wednesday he met with a member of the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) and they went out on a boat and Mark really enjoyed it! Mark will be driving to Salt Lake often throughout the summer to collect data for his research.
The way my schedule lined up, I only had one class this semester and it finished in February. I’ve enjoyed having a break from school, though it makes it harder to think about the busy summer semester I have ahead. I will have two classes the first half of the summer (May-June) and an internship the second half (July-August). It’s going to be a busy summer to say the least.
Saturday morning we attended Baby Farm Animal Days at The American West Heritage Center. Mark’s sister, Julie, and her husband joined us. We enjoyed petting the baby animals, exploring the 1800’s style farm buildings, watching a blacksmith, and panning for gold.
We also were able to go to the temple that afternoon with some of my family to do sealings. It’s extra special to be in the temple with family, and the flowers on the temple grounds were beautiful.
