Finals, White Coat & Cake

That's been our week. My brain is fried, but everything is finished. I couldn't stop smiling this morning after I e-mailed my stats final to my professor (after about 8 hours of work over the past week). I almost cried when I got the e-mail from my professor saying he opened it with no problems. Boy, has it been a week.

Justin completed his finals on Wednesday. He wasn't sure what to do with himself today. He had no homework and it was raining, so he couldn't get anything done outside. The White Coat ceremony went well. I am SO PROUD of my husband. His mom and step-dad and my mom came to the ceremony. (My dad was able to join us for extremely yummy hamburgers at Seamus McDaniels afterward.) Julia was very good during the ceremony. When she saw Justin putting his white coat on, she whispered loudly "Now my daddy's a doctor". I explained he wasn't just yet. Her response was "But he has a white coat!" She couldn't wait to get to the stage at the end. She is also very proud of Justin. He is looking forward to (and anxiously awaiting) his first day in the clinic-next Thursday.

The cake part is the sheet cake I just sent with Justin to one of his co-workers. It is for a baby shower. It is also the first time I copied the design from a picture. Overall, I'm pleased with it. I'm still rather amazed that people actually pay me for the cakes!

We are now the proud owners of a new fuel pump. We found a great little repair shop within pulling distance of our house. (Thanks again to Dad for helping us save on towing!) I think I'm cursed when it comes to cars, though. The van that our friends loaned us wouldn't start yesterday! Luckily, all it needed was a new battery-which wasn't exactly unexpected.

This last picture is Julia reading a new favorite book-"Pest Fest" by Julia Durango. I just thought it was cute.

Now we are looking forward to a leisurely summer break. OK, maybe without the leisurely part. Hope everyone is doing well! We miss you all!
