It's over! Blake's thesis is all defended and done with (well, nearly -- he has a couple of minor changes to make, and then he has to print a few copies of it on fancy schmancy 100% cotton paper, get it bound, and distribute appropriately...but this is nothing compared to writing and defending the sucker).
I'm so happy! All of his hard work has paid off and now he can graduate! Hooray! The question now, is, how shall we celebrate?
In other news, it's raining pretty darn hard here. And when I say "pretty darn hard," what I really mean is "buckets" or "cats and dogs" or "whathaveyou, but man, it just doesn't know when to quit!" Some rather large storm system decided to stop here, put up its feet, and wring out or something. And now the streets of Muncie are getting difficult to drive down, they're so flooded. Blake and I couldn't get to our car this morning without having to hike up our pants and wade through monstrous puddles. Good times, it was.
Because my biological clock is completely out of whack these days, I woke up for no apparent reason around 1:30 last night. All was quiet -- well, except for that rain. Suddenly, there was a bolt of lightning and a loud crack of thunder... and a 1-2 punch in my gut. I think the baby's hearing is developed enough to react to sounds in my world. Which is pretty cool, except for when it's 1:30 in the morning and now you can't get back to sleep because the baby decided that now would be a fantastic time to start doing flips.
Anyway, yay for Blake passing his thesis defense! Yay for living in a part of the country that doesn't have to worry about a drought! Yay for Baby's developed hearing! And yay for the weekend nap I'm planning to take!

Wahoooooo!!
Yay! On all accounts.
That must be a great feeling! I am happy for you. Your celebration, whatever it ends up being, should include good food. And good friends.
Congrats!! That definitely calls for a celebration. I think he should take you out to dinner ;-)
Sorry for so much rain. It probably won't make you feel any better that here in Utah it's nice and sunny.....maybe 65 degrees.
Congrats!!!! Go celebrate!
Congrats to all!
My baby ignores me. I try and "surprise" it sometimes but it's on to my little games and doesn't seem to care whether I'm blasting punk or barking like a dog. Kids these days are so desensitized.
That's fantastic news about Blake! I love that "done" feeling. Now you can move on to conquer the world!
Thanks, guys, for all the excited, happy vibes you've been sending this way. :) We've pretty much been finding excuses all weekend to celebrate. Even the weather decided to celebrate with us: the rain finally stopped, the floodwaters are giving hints at receding, and it's beautiful and sunny outside. It's been great. Have a lovely day everyone!
that's really great!
Once with my Lindsay there was a lightning storm. One hit woke her up (and me, and my husband) and she wouldn't go back to sleep for a while. In my head I imagined it startled her and she was crying. But I couldn't hold her.
