It's been a long week. Saturday and Sunday I found myself "practicing" my public speaking in churches and at missions events. All of those things went well but I couldn't help but feel a little guilty that I wasn't working on my thesis.
Sunday night and Tuesday night were perhaps the last all nighters of my academic career. It wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. I talked myself into thinking that these nights were sacred events. I even went down to the store and bought some special coffee beans, a stack of printer paper, a printer cartridge, a new flash drive, and some fruit snacks. By yesterday morning when I left the house for the university, the only thing I had left was a stack of the printer paper. I had used the rest of my purchases completely!
The presentation went well, thank you to everyone who prayed for and/or showed up at my thesis defense. My project was approved for graduation and all my papers were signed. I had a nice lunch with some great friends afterward and then headed home to sleep. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate.

Congratulations!
Whooohooo! Good Job April!!!
Over the past several years I have often invited you for quilting events, participation in the craft bazaars, or just going for hikes, walks, swimming, berry picking, etc.
Your response was always "Ask me after I graduate". So, should I ask you now?
April, this is a MAJOR achievement! WOW! May all your future dreams come true. They will if YOU have anything to do with it, because you are one woman who knows how to make things happen! Way to go!
Love,
Brenda
Congratulations, April!! Mark and I are really happy for you!
