Henderson Update

Things are changing around here!

We're excited and ready for what lies ahead.

Jason: He received his associates in December and is still working at Walmart as a supervisor. He applied to transfer to BYU in February but didn't get in.

Not gonna lie, we were pissed. His major isn't offered here at BYU-I so we figured BYU had to accept him. We were so certain they would, he didn't even apply to any other schools.

When He was denied, that same day he filled out an application for the University of Utah. Luckily they realized his value and he was accepted. So he'll be starting there in August.

Jen: I've done some serious thinking about my future lately, and have made some changes. When I realized the stress Jason is going to be under when he starts at The U (Commuting, taking hardcore chemistry classes, TONS of homework) I decided that its my turn to start making the money.

I decided to change my major to University Studies, with a minor in education. I was just a few classes away from fulfilling the requirements, and this would save me from a KILLER final semester. I would have had to take 3 math classes, each requiring tutoring (I'm TERRIBLE at math), and student teaching in the fall would not allow me to work AT ALL.

I also did some research about substitute teaching and found out that you receive higher pay and seniority on job offers if you have a bachelors degree. SO, long story short: I'm going to be working as a substitute teacher in Utah while Jason goes to school.

I had never really planned on teaching for very long because Jason will make enough money to support us as a chemical engineer. This way, I can support my husband and still receive a degree from a university.   

We feel really good about this decision,

and thats all that matters.

We're headed to Utah after graduation in July, and I can't wait to be close to family and friends.
