Hello everyone. Our main recent updates are that I
had my presentation where I had to defend my dossier (collection of
work) during my time here at IU last Friday. It went as well as I could
have hoped. I still have lots of work to do and won't know for sure if
I passed or not for a few more days/weeks, but I am hopeful that I did
this time. Best case scenario is that I get a 'conditional pass,' with
stipulations about finishing some research projects that I have been
doing, perhaps rewrite some other parts, or add some things by the end
of the semester. It has been a very up and down semester and last week
was especially difficult in trying to figure out if I can really do
this, but I really felt the prayers and thoughts of the family. I
really appreciated knowing that many of you were concerned and thinking
about me. Hopefully it will all work out so that I can then proceed on
to the next steps which will be deciding on and figuring out a
dissertation topic to begin next year.
Our other big news
is that we are getting very excited to have this new baby coming soon.
Megan is not technically due until Nov 6th, but the doctor will likely
induce her a couple weeks early because she has had high blood
pressure. So I think we are looking at the week of Oct 22nd to probably
have a baby. We will keep you all posted, but please keep her in your
prayers as it gets down to the last couple weeks. It has been a harder
pregnancy, largely due to the three kids she still has to take care of,
but overall she is doing well. Megan is such a trooper.
Glad to hear all is well with everyone and thanks again for your prayers for us recently. We love you guys.
Justin
