And it came to pass that we do again take our journey to graduate school; and we will travel north-east. And we do travel and wade through much affliction in the school years; and our women bear children in our school years.
And so great are the blessings of the Lord upon us, that while we live upon beans and rice during school, our women give plenty of suck for their children, and are strong, yea, even like unto the men; and they begin to bear their journeyings without murmurings.
And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled. And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; wherefore, he provides means for us while we sojourn at school.
And we will sojourn for the space of many years, yea, even 7 years of post-grad work.

Looking forward to Bountiful, and the promised land beyond that, but in the meantime, we are sure enjoying the journey to get there!
