Ok... so, it may have been a little while since we posted anything on our blog. What better time than now to let the Internet know what's going on in our lives.
Lot's of developments that have not been covered on TheGreatSchumi:
1) Last week I (Michael) turned in my senior project and took my Certified Professional Constructor Exam. Both of these require passing grades in order for me to graduate... it was a stressful week. However, I am happy to report that I believe I have done a satisfactory job on both. I guess I'll find out soon enough. Scratch that - I cannot possibly find out soon enough. I want to know how I've done RIGHT NOW.
2) Brooke took (and passed!) the first/written part of her Texas licensure exam for interpreting certification a few weeks back. She has to pass the written and performance exams in order to be recognized as an interpreter in the state of Texas. Next up, the first level of the performance exam. I have full confidence in her... she is SO intelligent!
3) Brooke and I will both walk in a graduation ceremony on May 16th, but neither of us will actually be entirely finished with our degrees at that point. I still have to take Physics and the Lab over the summer and Brooke still has to do her internship. Which brings us to number...
4) Brooke will be spending 5 weeks in Sands Point, New York, this summer doing an internship at the Helen Keller institute. What a sad excuse for a man I'm going to be... I get to go to New York to see her for my birthday though! Woo-hoo!
5) I will be finishing up my service at Metro BCM sometime around mid-July. Brooke and I really loved Truett Theological Seminary when we visited, so I applied. They graciously decided to let me in, and to give me a scholarship. So, Brooke and I will be moving to Waco, TX, about a week after she returns from New York. We are sad, but also very excited. While we hate leaving our friends (family, really) here in Little Rock, we are excited to take what we feel is God's next step forward in our lives... and we're excited to not have to drive 12-hours to see our immediate family any more.
Them's the facts folks! Sorry if this entry wasn't a very entertaining post... but I just thought I'd let everyone know the big things going on in our lives. Hope you are all well and enjoying life to the max!
Peace out homies!
