Yes, the title is true. Jake defended his thesis today. I thought he had a good turn out. After, we even saw people in the EL that walked by and said "Sorry I couldn't make it Jake." Now to the important stuff. Jake wanted me there and I won't lie, I wanted to be there for him, so I got a friend to babysit the kids. Jake gave his 30 minute presentation. He was a little nervous at first, but he calmed down and I thought he did AMAZING. Guys, my husband is smart! So he gives his presentation and a few questions are asked. Then the three professors on his committee kick us out and question Jake alone for like 20 minutes. I think they gave him a pounding (you rock Jake! Stay strong!) They then kick Jake out and deliberate. Not even five minutes later they come out and call Jake back in. He successfully defended and he is going to receive his Masters. This is good because we have already invested a lot in graduation (diploma frames, invitations/announcements, cap/gown/hood/tassel).
So I just wanted to say, GOOD JOB JAKE! You deserve it. You have worked incredibly hard for the last 5 years and have always taken care of your family. You have worked part time and gone to school full time the whole way through and still found time to support your wife going to school. I love you and appreciate you. I am so happy. Thank you for including me so much in this journey in life. You did great today.
A big chunk of weight has been removed from your shoulders, so enjoy life a little. Soon you will be able to watch the playoffs every night. You won't even have to have the laptop on your lap! Enjoy yelling at the TV because I know you like it! Love ya!
