I am so proud of my superman. Lately Stephen has done some wonderful things and I would like to boast about him for a moment. Last week he fixed the car by replacing the battery. I didn't know that laypeople could do it. I thought you just had to take your car to the mechanic, leave it inconveniently there for two or three days, and then give them a few hundred dollars on your way out. Stephen saved us all the trouble of that and changed it himself.Stephen then put his muscles to work and fixed our fence. He dug up the rotted old posted, which was not an easy task and required a sledgehammer and the help of a home teacher. He then poured cement around the new post. He just needs some free time (I don't know when he is going to find that) to finish the job by securing the panels to the new post.
Over the weekend Stephen also took the GRE to prepare himself to go to graduate school. For the past few months he has been diligently studying for it. His natural intelligence and hard studying paid off and he got a really good score on the test. I am so happy and proud of him for that.
Speaking of not having free time, Stephen won't have any for a while because he started school today. Though Stephen has not applied to the Computer Science program at BYU yet (he will do that in January), he is taking a class that will count toward his Master's if all goes according to plan (and it always does, right?) and he makes it into their program. He should have me write his letter of recommendation for their program. I could write a good letter boasting about all his "super" qualities.

Go Stephen! What a great guy...just the kind you were bound to find!
Congrats on getting ready for grad school!! It is a great thing to do. Dylan is on his last year of his program and will be finishing in the spring. Sometimes it makes me feel like a single mom, but I think it will be worth it some day, right?? ;) Good luck!!
I am excited for you guys. Yes, you did get a wonderful husband--but than again, you are wonderful wife!! Good luck Stephan!! Nigel will be done with his in Dec--and we are counting the days!!
Good for you Superman, I mean, Stephen!
I look forward/dread when Zack starts again.
This post is going to get Trent in trouble. He has quite a long "honey do" list which is not getting done. Oh well. So we should totally go to Thanksgiving point with our little ones. Kylie would love it. How about this Friday?
I agree that Stephen is super. I once saw him pick up an entire 14 pound dumbbell and commence a strenuous workout. And that's not all, the dumbbell was from the Philippines. If he can do that, I'm sure a nerdy graduate program in computers will be no match for him.
