Tyler Update

Tyler is awesome. He is doing really great in everything that he is doing and I am proud of him for all that he is accomplishing.
Here are some notables from the last few weeks:
Tyler passed both the graduate school classes he was taking for his Master's of Science in Engineering degree with an A in one (Building Modeling), and a B in the other (Controlls Engineering, by far the harder of the two classes). That's pretty awesome in my book. He is such a hard worker and was worked so hard to try and do well in these classes and he definitely did that!
Tyler had his last day with Captive Aire this last Friday. This is so bittersweet for our family. Captive Aire has really been a great employer and we were sad to part ways and Tyler really enjoyed working there and all the experience that he was able to get these last two and a half years while working there.
One door closes and another one opens: Tyler is starting to work full time this summer for the Integrated Design Lab (IDL). He does building modeling and analysis there to analyze a building's energy usage to help them find ways to be more energy efficient. He has a sweet deal worked out with them that if he works full time during the summer (40+ hrs/week) and part time during the school year (20 hrs/week) that they will not only pay him hourly for his time but also pay his tuition. With this opportunity, we will be able to make it through his graduate school program and into the Navy without accruing any additional school related debt! Something that we think is super awesome!
I have been impressed lately with how willing to help others Tyler always is. He is always looking for opportunities to serve and do good, rarely turns said opportunities down, and is always willing to help others and does it happily and without expecting anything in return. I really admire this in him. Recently he saw a couple on the side of the road near our house having car problems so he went out of his way to make sure that they didn't need any help. Turns out they were in need of some tools that we had so he was able to help them with what they needed even though it wasn't the most comvenient timing in the world. (It made us late for church as Tyler hadn't had a chance to get ready yet, but I was fine with that since we were trying to do good for others which is the essence of the gospel anyway! No point in going to church if you are not actually practicing what you are learning there!) Another example of Tyler being willing to help is the incident last night coming home from Burley with the car that rolled over that we stopped to help (see post previous to this one).
I'm so grateful for Tyler and his willingness to serve others and the good husband and father that he is to me, Ameilya and our sweet little girl on the way.
