My husband the PhD

We finally got news back about grad schools!  Western offered Gaetan a spot in their PhD program for physics for the fall!  Whoo!  We are so proud of him and all his hard work... and smarts!  That's crazy talk!  PhD in physics... hahaha... it makes all kinds to make the world go round.

They also offered him a TA position... which seems like they pay for your tuition and give you a stipend.  So essentially they are paying you to go to school... and teach some undergrad classes and such.  :)  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the stipend is a whole lot, so we are praying hard and accessing what we can do to make this whole schooling thing work, and support a family of almost 4!

I know that its a huge relief for him to just have an answer.  We're thrilled that the answer is 'yes' but would've been good with 'no' because then we could've started planning either way.  I have to believe that God opened this door, through all the rig-a-ma-roll we've had to go through in order to get to this point.  We are still continuing to pray about it and what He wants in our lives... but I'm still geeked about it. 

Its my wonderful husbands birthday today... so this was a nice present to have.
