life

so, i finally got cool and downloaded an app that makes your phone pictures look like polaroids. don't worry, the only reason i have a phone with "apps" is because it was tony's hand-me-down. i will never be that cool. and it's just a boring picture of my kitchen because i tried to upload one of Bo, but it didn't work.

i am taking a break from working on my thesis. tony took bo over to a friend's house so i could have a quiet house to study and think. he's amazing. i am so grateful. i am on the last leg of grad school. i would have said something sooner, but i didn't want to jinx it and i came this close to actually not making my deadlines. although, i guess since i haven't actually finished yet, so i could, technically, still not graduate. but, if all goes to plan, i will finish this draft of my thesis on monday, turn it in to my committee on tuesday, and then defend a week from that date-- June 7th! you are supposed to give your committee three weeks before the defense, but if i did that i would miss the deadline to graduate and have to pay another semester of tuition, so the professors on my committee have been very understanding and helpful and i so appreciate it. what should i get them for a thank you gift? my heart is full. now all i have to do is buckle down and finish this draft and finally learn how to use a comma correctly. yikes. love you all. hope all is well. can't wait to finish, so i can blog again.

I really like that photo of your kitchen. I like how the cupboard is exposed.

I had no idea you were close to finishing a masters degree! Congratulations (almost...). We're crossing our fingers and our prayers for you. xoxo

Sienna, congratulations on your thesis. I really hope you finish. Get Instagram fro your phone. You'll love it and that way I can see pictures of Bo on my Instagram feed.

Sienna, that is sooooo wonderful! My gr. Jewel said that your education is one thing that nobody can take away from you. By the way, its rePly crazy that our kitchens are so similar! I'll have to show you ours!

You go girl!
It is all worth it in the end.....hard work but worth it. We are praying for you and know that you will do well. I remember trying to write papers when Lexi was a baby it was very hard....write a paper or play with a darling baby? Hmmm! Very hard to make the right choice at the right but it all works out great. We are still planning to stay at your house at this time, let us know if that still works...July 10th through the 16th. There are 8 of us and the floor will be fine.
Love,
Tricia and Family
