A chef in the making

Jamie has finally started his dream of going to culinary school. He started yesterday at Utah Valley University in the culinary arts program. The program runs for 4 semesters (2 years). He is excited but nervous to start this new stage in his life. It has been a desire of his from the time he was little. He will finally be able to have a degree next to his name and call himself a bonafide chef. He couldn't stop talking about he stuff he learned yesterday. Even though it is something that he loves he realized yesterday that it is going to be hard work. There is quite a bit of extra out of class work that he is required to do. After much counseling with people who understand Jamie and his abilities we have decided to have Jamie focus only on school work and be a full time student during the coming Fall and Spring semesters. He will sell some firewood on the side during this winter however most of his time will be dedicated to his school work and family. We will rely heavily on careful financial planning and the blessings of our Heavenly Father to get us through the next two years. I am proud of Jamie and his desire to get schooling in something he has a passion for. He is going to do great.
