We have definitely had a busy 6 months! (Hence the reason we haven't been posting - oops!)
Jonathan went to live and work in western North Dakota in September and returned at the end of December. He lived in Watford City and worked on a 100-mile section of the BakkenLink Oil Pipeline as an environmental Inspector. He is now back at his previous position at Bartlett and West.
Rachel used the time while he was gone to work on her thesis. She also submitted applications of PhD programs in Sociology. She is applying to University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, Penn State, and Bowling Green State University. This semester she is working on finishing up her thesis, and is also finishing up her 500 hours of seeing clients!
We also adopted a new black kitten named Hurley! He loves to snuggle and be held, which Jonathan loves. He and Sawyer are already close friends and both enjoy playing with one another.
Rachel recently found out that she was accepted to Penn State, her top choice! She will travel to visit the campus in March and will make her final decision in April.
