Pre-Christmas Update

Things have been going pretty well lately, but I’m definitely ready for Christmas break to start. We’ve both been pretty weary these last couple of weeks, and are about ready for a recharge.

Fortunately I didn’t have to pack and load all by myself, since a couple of good friends from church, Matt and Chad, came to help. Having their help made the job immensely easier. I think I’ve been… Read More Leaving for Indiana

Thesis & defense
