MAJOR GOAL ACCOMPLISHED!

Congratulations to Mark! We just found out that he has passed the second qualifying exam in music history!!!!!! This was one of the hardest things Mark has done in his life and he came through with flying colors. I'm so proud of him, not just for passing, but for the journey to the "passing". He was so dedicated to this goal, always keeping in mind the final goal of degree completion was to provide a better way of life for his family. This picture of Mark and McKenna was taken back in the summer of 2005 but perfectly shows how Mark's face probably looked when he got the news. McKenna's face reflects what his family looked like when we heard the news. Mark rocks!!!!!!! How fun will it be on the day we can finally call him Dr. Frandsen.

WHOO WHOO! We are so happy for Mark. Well Done!! All the hard work and stress is going to pay off. I've got a husband who can't dance. Now that Mark is a music Doctor can he fix that? Hee Hee
