Hallelujah!!

Tyler successfully defended his PhD on Monday. There was a bunch of crazy anxiety on Sunday evening (on both our parts), but we were fortuitous to be involved in an Easter Fireside and were able to distract ourselves sufficiently with that. Lucy and I sang 'I'm trying to be like Jesus' with some other primary-aged girls and their moms and she did fantastic. She had planned what to wear for her big night for weeks. Tyler's dad and mom and Sarah and Tyson came down to our place afterward to give Tyler a blessing.
Major praying happened ALL day Monday. And this text message was sent:

GOOD LUCK DAD! We LOVE YOU!


He defended from 1:15 to 4:00, but we didn't hear from him until 5! AND I got to dress up and go out for a celebration dinner after at Namskar, an Indian restaurant across from Peter's. Seriously yummy food.

Now he is in revision mode. He has to be done by the 29th if he wants to convocate in June instead of November. Obviously since we are moving in July, we would prefer him to convocate in June. So he is back to working 14 hours a day. Feels familiar. And my motivation to cook and clean goes WAY down. Not so helpful when you're trying to get a house ready for moving.

Speaking of which, our house in Cochrane sold on Tuesday and our house in Kinston went final on Wednesday!

Plus my brother's wife is in labour today.

It's a pretty grand week!
