It's official! Andy is a full-fledged
Ph.D! It was a really moving, rewarding experience to attend Commencement. It never occurred to me that I would shed a few tears, but I did. Either Andy or I has been in school our entire 8.5 years of married life, so this is really the end of an era. I am so proud of Andy and grateful he never put our "real" life on hold to achieve this dream.
This is one of Andy's committee co-chairs, Dr.
Barcelo. She was instrumental in getting us to Paris a few years ago. Thank you Helene!
The big picture! Afterward, we went out to dinner at Monti's La
Casa Vieja with Andy's parents, my parents and Sarah. Good food, good company and good conversation all around. Thank you Gordon and Lindy for dinner and to ALL of you for coming.
Here's the "after-party" picture! We got Blizzards at
DQ and ate them on the rug together (the table is covered in my
Etsy mess.) Then Andy got dressed again and walked around the room ceremoniously/silly while I played "Pomp and Circumstance" on the piano. The kids loved it. Then he acted out getting his diploma and his picture taken. Warren took the diploma cover, looked inside and said, "You did all that work just to get this binder with only one folder inside?" Yep, Warren, he did.
