Freedom!

I signed, sealed, and sent my thesis earlier this week and just heard from my friend Mandy, who submitted it for me, that it's turned in, and I'M DONE! I haven't breathed this lightly in several years!

My good friend and former boss, Clayton, made me this beautiful wooden pen as a graduation gift, and it felt so good to use it finally to fill out all of the forms for submission. And now I can say I have an M.A. For a while I never thought this day would come. :)

The trees outside my window once again look like they did when we moved here, but I keep reminding myself that some things just take time.

This means more projects to come soon! And hopefully some clean clothes finally. :)
