IDP

My husband officially finished his IDP today!!! YEA!!!!!!!!! This has been a long time coming. We're so very excited. and I am especially proud of my man today. For those of you that didn't know, IDP stands for Intern Development Program. IT is was the next step after finishing the Master's program and had to be completed to become an architect. This process is from 3-5 years. We know many interns who have taken 7-8 years to accomplish. So we are feeling very blessed to be done. He graduated in the spring of 2003. So now it is a waiting game for NCARB to process the paper work. Possibly up to 6 months for this next part. And then he can start taking tests. (there are 9) to finally become licensed. This has been a hard road and suprisingly a very fulfilling one. Although, at many times it has been tough. I am very proud of him. And now he is officially a member of the AIA. And he is even heading up an AIA event in Idaho Falls tomorrow. If any of you knew my husband 10 years ago, you would know that he is a very differant person. And I think he has come a long way. So Congratulations, Robert!! We're cheering for you.!!

Wa hoo! what a great accomplishment. It took jake's support to get me through grad school and mine to get him through lame engineering classes. Isn't the best feeling to see the fruit of all that encouragement! You guys need a special date. Tell him congrats from us.

Yeah! Aaron is nearly done with his paperwork. Pretty soon he'll be out of excuses for why he's not studying for the tests!

Congratulations Robert!!
