Master Timothy Wright

I am so proud to introduce you to Master Timothy Wright:

For the past two years Tim has been studying at the University of Calgary in the Centre for Military and Strategic Studies. For the last year he has been writing a thesis titled: China's Race towards the Arctic: Interests, Legitimacy, and Canadian Security Implications. On September 12 he defended and passed his thesis. It has been a lot of hard work and many sleepless nights thinking and worrying about this piece of work. It is something he really wanted to achieve so I could not be more proud of him. He is a 3rd generation masters degree holder!! I think that is pretty cool. The Wright's are a very well educated family.  

Something you may not know about Tim is that he wasn't the most stellar student in high school. He never really planned on going to university. During his mission he learned how to really focus and study. After his mission he got into the U of C. Through lots of hard work he got amazing grades and was able to finish an undergrad with a double major and now a thesis. This hard work and dedication are reasons I love this boy! 

WAY TO GO TIMMY!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!! 

To celebrate we went out for lunch at our favourite place, The Asian Noodle Box! 

 And then did a serious amount of baby shopping. I am so excited because I bought a city select stroller!! I am so in love with it and can hardly wait to put our baby in it. I attempted to put our first baby (Wrigley) in but he would have none of it and jumped out so fast!

Later that night we went to the Keg to have a celebration dinner with the Wrights. 

 The next day Tim had a long nap on the couch. He was exhausted after defending his thesis. It felt so good to no longer have that stress.

Here are a couple links to the CMSS web page.
