Yawn......

Before Joel defended his dissertation, I came up with a list of hobbies Joel and I were going to start post-doctorate. I somehow thought we would be bored after the big defense. Well, I was wrong. We're both exhausted. Hence, my lack of blogging. Maybe someday I'll be like my sister-in-law, Liz, and blog everyday....but it will probably be awhile!

Just Call Him Doctor

As many of you know, my really smart hubby just passed his dissertation this weekend! He has a few minor revisions to make and then he will be done with school forever! I'm so proud of him.

I Miss The Internet!

I haven't posted for a while because our computer died:(  I have read half of Anna Karenina, though.  Maybe not having the Internet is a good thing!  We're hoping to get a new iPad soon.  I will post more then!  We have lots to share with you all!

Denial

You know you are in denial about gaining weight when...

1.  You attribute your jean tightness to the fact that you "just washed and dried them"

2.  You believe those extra pounds on the scale are from "all that muscle your building."

3. You think your scale is suddenly inaccurate.

4.  The doctors office scale "always weighs heavy anyway."

Computer CRASH!

Computer crash.  That pretty much sums up why I have not been on facebook, blog or e-mail. 

Who Says Norfolk is Ghetto??

Joel took me on a date to Botanical Gardens.  Here are some of my favorite flowers.

I pretended to be a highschool senior.  The rock just screamed highschool senior pic.

Joel striking a pose for me!  It took me 15 tries to get the lighting right

Apparently, if you walk around this entire pond holding hands with your friend-you'll be friends for life.  Joel and I skipped this tradition...we already know we'll be friends for life!!  Hope you had as good of a holiday weekend as we did!

My Little Family

Aren't they they cutest?  I love how fuzzy Maddie is in this pic.
