One of the members of our family has hit a major milestone. Can you guess who? Nope- you're wrong. It's Richard! Richard is officially done with classes forever!!!!! We never thought this day would come :) It feels like such a big weight off our shoulders even though there is still work to be done. He now has a year to get through a gigantic reading list and take his exam and then at least another year (hopefully that's all....here's to optimistic thinking, right?) to write his dissertation. And then he will be done forever! It feels like that day is coming so fast. Even though he will still be working incredibly hard, his schedule is flexible now and we won't have any more super long days, eating dinner with the kids by myself all week long. I couldn't be more happy! (Ok, maybe I'll be a little more happy when we actually get a job, but one step at a time!) Congrats Richard- I am so proud of you and how hard you work. OSU better recognize how lucky they are to have you!Sunday, April 28, 2013

Woo hoo! So fun. Now he can just worry about teaching!!!
Yay - definitely a milestone to celebrate.
So excited for all of you. Here is to a more regular way of life. What are you going to do to celebrate?
Wow!!! So happy for you all. It is a great accomplishment.
I love the picture you put up to show how you feel. This has been a really hard semester, so it makes the end of classes even more exciting. Good luck with the next stage of your schooling, Richard.
