We had the wonderful privilege of hosting Aunt Cindy for a week! We had so much fun hanging out and spending time together. Here are some of the highlights.

Well it has been approximately 1.75 years since I have started the thesis journey. I have been so lucky to have ample support throughout this journey, but I have come to realize that many people do not know what the process is for writing a thesis.

I am about to explain the logistical side of writing a thesis, and I will enter my own commentary as necessary :-)
I have a serious problem. I know the title sounds funny, but it is true. I am addicted to working out. I am addicted to the adrenaline rush. I am addicted to the feeling of empowerment and being in control. I am addicted to the way my body feels after I have pushed it to the limit.
