Woot Woot!!

I'M GRADUATING!!! Surprise surprise, I talked to my adviser today about some questions I had regarding my grad plan and she worked it out so I can graduate TODAY! I thought I had just one more class to take next semester, but nope we made a custom cluster for my emphasis and just hacked that class right out of my plan. I don't think I'll miss it.

Oh, by the way you won't see me sporting any caps or gowns, grad announcements or grad flowers, my name won't be in the commencement program, and I most certainly won't be getting any honors, but my diploma will arrive in the mail sometime next month. Graduation is Friday. I won't be attending because I think we're going to be throwing our own little party. Just me, Alli, and Louie.

Gingerbread fun

To make our spirits bright Alli and I created this beautiful gingerbread house last night. Those of you who know us well know that we are not creative people. I think this made the decorating even more fun. Neither of us had ever decorated a gingerbread house before and I wouldn't be surprised if this was the last time we chose to splurge on such a fancy treat.
I think the best touches are Alli's attempts at icicles from the roof and the drooping eyes above the frowning door.
Notice there are no pictures of the back of the house. That's because we kinda gave up and decided that doing the front was enough.

It's beginning to look like christmas

Just a little something I put together while Alli was at work. I hope she likes it. It makes me smile.
