    Just a long time reader, sometimes lurker, but that is a fabulous achievement, and also a GREAT way to thank those that supported you. You rock

    Ladybug, you know I send hugs to you too. But now, I’m looking at my CD drive thinking “man, how did they all get IN there???!” “and maybe I can squish some chocolate through there to share… I laughed at you and Amber’s notes on the chocolate pictures this morning” too funny.

    ;-)

    Cristin, I blush at your comments (*thinking* me? rock?) and thank you for them too.

    And aww, that was very, very sweet of you.

    *tear*

    And absolutely wonderful pictures.

    It always awes me how some people can capture the most minute, minor, beautiful details with a camera and how it can tell a whole entire story.

    And the light across the “Doctor in Philosophy”, that’s brilliant!

    awwww… little people cheering me on! It may not have come out like you planned, but I like it the way it is.

    I’m smiling that you liked the light across the page. I really liked it when I set it up, but wondered if anyone else would think it was too cheesey.

    bra-freakin’-vo!!

    Yes, I do actually.

    This has been a goal I’ve been frantically trying to reach for a while now. We knew 6 years ago when I was barely getting started that HB’s company wanted him to get here as soon as possible… so I’ve been hurrying and trying to get done and ugh. It feels good to finally be here and yes, like a large large weight has been lifted.

    A Very Big pile of Congratulations are to be heaped upon you! It is a rare and well-deserved achievement. Yay you!

    You give me hope that there is, indeed, a light at the end of the tunnel. And not only is it there, I might someday reach it.

    Chocolate wishes for your defense.
