First Family Blog Ever!

Welcome to the Kyle and Catherine Wiberg Family Blog! This is our first family blog. I haven't even told Kyle that I've set this up. :-) My intention is to update family members and friends who don't use Facebook on the goings on in the Wiberg family. This will also be journal-like for me, especially because journalling is not my strong point, but I would like to change that. :-)

Summary: Kyle is working on his EDD in Pastoral Community Counseling through Argosy University. He's taking his classes online through the Chicago campus. He currently carries a 4.0 which is both wonderful and stressful for him. :-) He's an Army Reservist chaplain and we're hoping to go active duty - he has the packet in process right now. He has worked in security, so I will have him review and edit blog entries to be sure I don't put anything compromising. :-)

I am working on my MBA with a fast track doctorate (called the Doctoral Advantage program) through Colorade Technical University. My doctorate will be a Doctorate of Management in Organizational Behavior and Change. I am doing my classes online through the Colorado Springs campus. I started in April 2011 and have just begun my 6th class. It's still somewhat odd to be back in school having received my bachelor's degree in Business Administration in October 2001 and having not returned to formal school since then. I am enjoying my classes, overall, and thoroughly love the learning and its application in my future goals.

Gregory is in third grade. He claims to hate school, but appears really to love it, for the most part. He does well in school and his teacher loves him. He wishes he had more time at home so he could have more screen time and less work time. He loves Netflix, Wii games, World of Warcraft, and his Nintendo DSi. He's studying Merpati-Putih (MP) which is the martial art of the Indonesian Royal Family and is taught in only one location in North and South America which happens to be in Ogden, Utah.

Scott is in second grade. He loves his teacher. He loves his friends. He hates to do his work, but loves the rewards he can earn at school when he gets it done. He's able to do the work better than he gives himself credit and he's really bright. His teacher loves him and works hard to help him see and reach his potential. He's also studying MP and enjoys what he's learning.

Both boys love sparring at MP and were overjoyed when we got them their sparring gear so they could start that process.

Sara is in preschool. She's writing her letters and numbers well and LOVES attending her "preschool that it's a house." She has school three times per week for 2 hours per day and I think she would happily stay longer if she could. She loves doing her homework and showing everyone she meets how well she studies and practices. She got her ears pierced the last Saturday of August because she stopped sucking her thumb for one month straight (we're occasionally still working on that reminder) and still loves to show everyone she meets the earrings she wears. She's so PROUD of her accomplishment and her cute earrings. :-)

That's a pretty good overview for now. I will add cute things and pictures in future blog entries. :-)
