Dear Readers,

Welcome to my public blog. I use this blog now only for my non-family related posts. All of our family posts, including pictures and videos of our little guy, can now be seen on our private blog. Our private blog can be found HERE.

If you like to use Google Reader or blog lists to see when a blog has been updated, just keep this blog on those lists. I will put a post up on this blog letting you know I have posted on our private blog so that you will still get the updates.

If you would like an invitation to our private blog please leave your email address in a comment on this blog - comments must be approved prior to posting so no one else will see your address. Please don't hesitate to ask for an invitation if you have enjoyed keeping up with us through this blog. Blog Stalkers, it is time to make yourselves known! :) Seriously though, please ask for an invite if you want one and if you think I might not know who you are just give me a little reminder of how I know you.

Happy Blogging! -Lara

Another Thesis Hurdle Cleared!!!!!!

I haven't been as diligent in my blogging as usual because I have been busy writing the final draft of my thesis!!! That's right folks, after nearly 11 months of trying to get all of our data collected we are finally finished!!! I completed my last data session on April 11th and Lisa, my partner on the project, finished our very last session ever on the 12th! It was the most amazing feeling to finally be done with all of that. Now I am working towards having the amazing feeling of being completely done with EVERYTHING. The deadlines are closing in, but I have been working non-stop to try and get everything done. So if things go according to plan I will be defended by the end of May and on schedule to graduate in August.

Me, Morris, and our final subject!

I feel so uneducated...I pretty much don't know any of the terminoligy you talk about & what it means, but I do know what a Masters is. Congrats & good luck getting it finished up!

YEA!! i'm sooo proud of you! and another random thing--i actually know morris. i used to be a TA for a class he took. he's a special ed major, right? if he's not, then he has an uncanny resemblance to a morris i used to know.
