My Wife is Now a Certified Genetic Counselor

At the end of August, Tara took her board exams to become a certified genetic counselor.  She then had to wait 6 long weeks to receive the results.  This tense period finally ended this past week when we got the letter in the mail announcing that she had passed and is now certified.  This is a very exciting time for us. a) Because Tara no longer has to stress about whether or not she passed, and b) Since she is now certified, it is only a matter of time before she’ll be the breadwinner of this household, at which time I will be retiring.  Well, maybe not quite yet…

To celebrate, we rode the Trax downtown last night to The Market Grill, which is proclaimed to have the best fish in SLC.  And it was quite good–not fried (Tara and I are of the belief that frying any sort of sea creature is a cardinal sin,  and have even gone as far as picketing Catholic fish fries).  We enjoyed three-course meals and even splurged on martinis.  Afterwards, we walked over to the Beerhive to get my favorite Utah beer: “Latter Day Stout”.  As a result, we did not end up making it to the Halloween party we had planned on going to, but had a great evening anyway.
