YAY for Chris, the smartest man alive!!!

This is Chris, and that nasty picture is now gone.
It took 6 tries before I passed that stupid test btw.


As some of you may know, Chris has been working towards obtaining his certification as an Environmental Health Scientist so he could do food inspections, hazmat stuff, air quality oversight, swimming pools, onsite wastewater, meth houses inspection & containment and a whole lotta other stuff. We really needed him to pass this test so he could stay with the Health Department in Logan, as things with mosquito abatement are coming to an end. However, this certification is recognized nationally as well, so we would be able to move and he could stay in the same career.

Well today we got a call from one of Chris' bosses that an envelope from NEHA had come to the office and we were super nervous to check it out. We just got back and the news. . . is. . . AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Chris passed the test and our future is looking bright - hooray! He only needs to pass the test on Utah codes and laws, but compared to what he has just gone through, it is supposed to be a walk in the park.

I am sure that Heavenly Father answered our prayers and responded to our failthfulness. He knows the struggles we face and will stretch us only as far as we can go to grow and then comes the reward for our efforts. We are so thankful and blessed.
