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

As some of you may have noticed my blog has been feeling a little neglected this week. I haven’t had much time to write since most of the week was taken up with thesis writing and preparing for my defense Friday afternoon.
