Mistress. For the last four years Arik has had a mistress. She has taken up all his time and energy. I am not jealous or mad. At least I get him for an eternity. This morning Arik got her binded and finished all the hoops and loose ends that needed to be done. HE IS NOW A FREE MAN!!!!
For those of you that don't know, we have called Arik's thesis his mistress ever since a lady in our ward in Logan told my sister that Arik said he was gone doing research but really he was having an affair. Anyone that really knows Arik would just laugh (which Brandee did) so it became our joke and that is what we called it.
Monday night we went for a walk and then came home. I was giving the girls a bath and Arik was walking around looking lost. I asked him what was up and he said that he didn't know what to do with himself. He was not used to actually having free time to do whatever. He is free now to spend more time with us (though he tried very hard to always make time for us before), the time spent now is free of thinking of the thesis and what he should be doing. It is so very nice and what a relief off his shoulders.
Next Friday Arik will graduate and I am so very proud of him. I love him so much and am grateful for the opportunity to watch him grow and learn from this and the joy he has felt from finishing what he started!!!! WAY TO GO ARIK!!!

Awesome!! Congrats to Arik. I'm sure that's a huge relief for the whole family.
Congrats Arik! Hopefully you guys can make it to Pocatello soon!
Yea for Arik! We are definately proud of him too! As for the mistress, you have to be careful of those boys who work in the woods. Levi got accused of having an affair by someone in our ward up here. It always amazes me how some people like to put their nose where it doesn't belong! Congrats & enjoy the increased family time!!!
Congrats to the Graduate!!! Now you just need a seminary calling to suck up all that "free" time:) Enjoy the break while you have it!
Congrats Arik!!
