Big Day, Years in the Making

I know we've disappeared, but now we're emerging with really good news: Michael passed his thesis defense!! He still has lots of corrections to keep him busy for awhile and his specific graduation date is uncertain, but this will not effect him from becoming employed if an offer comes along. I will continue to be busy while he's busy, but we are still all breathing a huge sigh of relief. So much of the stress is over now, and this is a huge accomplishment!!
