It has been a while, so here is whats new:
School has being busy for Evan. He is taking three classes, teaching a lab, research, and thesis work. One of his classes is the "Imperial Barrel Competition". Graduate programs around the world are given data and students have to figure out if there is oil or gas and if it is economical to drill. The OSU team won the regional competition and they will be competing in the international AAPG Conference in New Orleans this next weekend. Evan will be flying out on Thursday the 8th and will come back on Tuesday the 14th.
Lacey has been looking for a job with no luck. There have been some promising interviews and great jobs, nothing has worked out. She has been busy developing her talents. She has been painting pictures to decorate our apartment with. She also has been busy sewing. She has made a few skirts for herself and the sister missionaries.
Saturday, April 3rd, Lacey's grandfather Bob Smith had what appeared to be a stroke. He has been battling cancer for a while. The stroke was so severe that the doctors decided not to attempt to stop the internal bleeding. At about 12:30 am Sunday morning, he passed away.
Evan drove Lacey to Tulsa to catch the 1:15 am Greyhound. She will arrive at 7:45 pm in Bemidji today. She will be in Minnesota for eleven days so she can be at the funeral. She then will catch the Greyhound on the 14th and Evan will pick her up in Tulsa Thursday, April 15th.

So sorry about your Grandpa. I'm glad that you will be with family, especially while Evan is gone. We loved your blog and appreciate your keeping us up to date. We love you both lots and lots. MOM B
We're sorry about Lacey's grandpa. Hope she will find a job soon too. Good luck with everything you guys. We love you.
first off, so sorry about Lacey's grandfather. And sorry you have to be seperated so long. Maybe it was fate Lacey couldn't find work just yet..and when she returns, bam! job!
Secondly, we miss you guys. My boys are always asking, "when can we go see Evan and Lacey?" So, on my knees, I am begging you to take more pictures and post them here in this lovely blogspot so you don't feel so far away. Love you guys. I owe you BIG TIME...I have not forgotten. Hugs to you both.
No joke Rachel! I had an interview the Monday after I got back and just got a job! Can you believe it?!
