I know things have been rather quiet around here, but I have a good excuse. Over the last few months, I have been writing my dissertation, preparing and providing the defense, making changes, and going to graduation!

Above is the picture from last weekend, with a wife that is happy the whole PhD program is over and two kids that are just happy that the long boring graduation ceremony is over.

After this picture was taken we spent the rest of the weekend celebrating. My wife threw quite the party to celebrate the next day!

Thanks to everyone for their help and understanding over the years getting to this point. Nobody ever does this on their own.
