Tomorrow Evan will be sworn in... I think its finally sinkin in that we are done!!!! No more school,no more taking out loans...now we'll just pay them off...for YEARS, but hey the Lord could come tomorrow and we won't have to pay! :) Thank you all for your constant prayers and encouragement! The Lord has blessed us richly with each year that we have been married.

    Paying loans is a pain, but yay for being done for good! Unless he gets a mid-life crisis and wants to go to film school or become an architect. Then you can start all over. :) LOL

    I'm glad your year is going better! Things were smoother for me, too. How sad that you had to cancel your program. I'm actually nervous that some of mine might faint when we have our concert on December 5. Most of them have never played in front of others before and there's potential for a packed auditorium. (It's part of our downtown Christmas festivities).

over the hurtle

Evan is done. I feel as if three years just blinked before our eyes. Praise God he made it. He said some people dropped out by day 2 and even the last day. Can you believe that? Going to all the trouble of studying...working a day or so and quitting??? You can't just pick up where you left off. WOW! So glad my bhusband is a trooper!
  • desi
    That's so great!!! When will he get the results?

prayer and thanksgiving

Evan has officially graduated from law school with all passing good grades...thanks to everyone for their encouragement and support and to God for his everlasting care and love for his children.


Now we embark on a new phase of life...studying and taking the bar. Please take a moment to say a quick prayer for Evan today as it exactly 2 weeks from today that he will take the BAR exam. The stress is mounting...and I can do nothing to help ease this anxiety and burden of a 6 hour 3 day test. However, we know that prayer is powerful and that God has helped his children and us conquer our doubts and fears, so I'd ask that you send up as many petitions to God that Evan and I will have peace on those three days and the months to follow until we receive the results and thereafter.


Thank you brothers and sisters and may God be with you in all your doubts and fears. May we all do our best to give everything to God.

We love you very much and will continue to pray for the both of you! We definitely need to have a big party when he passes with flying colors!!

    When/where are you moving? We knew we were moving about a month ago, and we were able to transfer our lease to another Archstone apartment community here in Austin. It was really a blessing not having to break our lease. It definitely happened fast, though!

    I'll be teaching 2nd grade in Katy which I'm really excited about. No more TAKS test. It was sad to leave in some ways but there are a lot of things I won't miss.

Monumental day in the life of the Clark's

My husband (of almost three years) graduates from law school today. I am so proud of his accomplishments and all his hard work during the last three years academically,spiritually and mentally!

Our life of school days are over, we are now no longer a married college couple. Please pray for both of us as we enter this new phase of life and that we will continue to be students of His word.

He already starts studying and preparing for the bar on Monday. He takes the bar July 28th.

Swing by and give him a congrats if you can!
  • csusoftballgirl
    Congrats, Evan! Any leads on a job, yet? I think of you two often around this time of year because y'all got married and went to NYC just before we did:)
