Matt Blogging?

Yes, I know it's surprising, but I too blog on our family blog. Believe it or not, I have my own personal raging blog (Living Consciously), but I haven't posted to it for a long time. So there are a few things that I want to post. First off, as some of you have heard Jess and I both are planning on graduating with Bachelors Degrees this spring. I will be graduating in Child and Family Studies, certified in Child and Family Life Education and other good stuff, with emphasis in Social Science. Jess will be graduating in Human Performance. I'm planning on going on through a graduate program to get my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, with intent on getting my PhD. Our goal is the graduate program at Utah State, but another option is in Tacoma Washington, which is where Jess would really like us to go. So, there is an end in sight!
In other news... I guess you could say I got a promotion at work. I am now the Technical Coordinator in my office. Basically, for fans of "The Office" I am the Dwight Schrute of my office. Actually, I'm now in charge of several trainings in my office and some other responsibilities. Pretty cool though.Image:Rainn Wilson.jpg
The other big development is that we have found Adam is starting to display a very 'unique' Stringham trait. This is a special characteristic that myself, and a few others in my family have, whose names are not listed for their protection :). Adam has been sticking his whole fist in his mouth, and loves it!

Hey Matt! Congrats on contributing to the family blog, and all that's going on with you. That's exciting that both you and Jess will be graduating this year (I for one, did not realize that), and that you are planning on going to graduate school (good luck with that!). I think that what you are going into is fascinating. I took one course on it up at USU while I was there, and I know it probably didn't even scratch the surface of what you have probably learned, but I think it's a great field, and I'm sure you are so knowledgable in it. Congrats on your job too! It sounds like things are going great in your lives :)

Good luck on which every place that you decide. Wow that is quite a trait to stick your whole fist in your mouth. P.S. Jessica, I got his pictures taken at Target they do deals where you can get any sheet for $3.99 and as many sheets as you want I have been happy with his pictures both times we have gone there!
