It's about that time

Last Wednesday my thesis defense was scheduled. That meant having the final copies in to my committee by 4/26. I was in CA from 4/20-4/24 so it was a tricky one. But . . . somehow I managed and now I'm just preparing for the defense on 5/5. I'm feeling like if I give the professors margaritas and wear a sombrero it might be easier. I'm excited to be done with the program. This thesis has been such a part of me. . . either in the front of my day with writing or reading or in the back of my mind, just looming over me for the last year and a half. Prayers are welcome for 5/5 . . . I'm sure it will be fine.

We start on lupron tonight. I just had the realization that I will have daily shots again. I think the process of injections makes it so much more intense in our minds. Lately I've been feeling this dull loss. I think when new life is so evident in the trees, flowers, friends having babies, etc. it's hard to not think about what's missing in our own lives. . .the life we have been trying to create for coming on the third year.

Please think of us during this month of treatment, appointments, and all that goes along with the circumstance.

Our prayer and hope is for new life to grow soon.

Wow, it will be great to have the thesis behind you so your focus won't feel so divided. what an accomplishment!

Margaritas all around - and you both are in our thoughts.
