Betsy's
Ph.D. Hooding Ceremony |
| It all started on Friday, the day Jason's "big surprise" would be revealed. The surprise? Chrysty flying in from Cleveland! |
Surprise part II: Travis drove down from Northern Kentucky! |
Finally, the big morning has arrived. First, I have to get dressed. Jason's mom helps me figure out all the pieces. |
Pre-hooding | Hooding |
Post-hooding |
Have you ever seen us so happy? |
The requisite Old Well shot |
In front of my "home" for the last five years, Dey Hall. |
Me and my men... |
(some of) The
Griffey's |
Chrysty has been there through thick and thin. This degree should be partially hers! |
Another of my biggest supporters: Tacia! (She'll be doing this SOON!) |
And where would I be without these two lovely ladies? The fabulous Jen and Bridgette. Jen had the cool idea of bringing this picture of Bridge and her husband Andy, since they are in Spain and couldn't be there in person! |
I call this one "The Girls"! Amy (also doing this SOON), Edurne, and Jen |
Then to celebrate, we all dug into some incredible barbeque at the famous Allen & Son's. Yuuuuummmmmm. |
All in all, this whole Ph.D. thing has been a crazy journey. Lots of hair pulling, restless nights, and hard lessons learned about myself. But I couldn't have done this without all of you. Thanks for all the little things you've all done along the way (you know who you are!).
