Finished. Complete. Done. Ended. The ship has sailed. Through. Achieved. Ceased. Wrapped up.
And all it took was a little help ... from Eden.
That's right ... Ashley has SENT HER FINAL DRAFT OF THE DISSERTATION to her committee.
It was a cool, crisp fall morning - this past Tuesday to be exact - not a creature was stirring except the beast of a dissertation that was about to be sent out. Does that rhyme?
On Tuesday, October 28, Ashley hit the send button on a now famous email - to her committee telling them that a large package would be arriving soon. Oh boy! A present!?! It's too early for Christmas!
It was like Christmas for Ashley, too; she had her first "real" Mother's Day Out. After dropping Eden off at PDO, Ashley ran errands - buying Eden's Halloween costume (post to come) and mailing copies of the dissertation.
When I got home she commented, "That must be what a real Mother's day out must be." It was certainly different than dropping Eden off to get to campus to work on her dissertation. Glad it is over for now.
Now, we wait.
Her defense is set for Monday, November 17th - just in time to be a Ph.D. for NCA. WooHoo! Dr. Mom ... has a certain ring to it. She looks the part, too, huh?

Congratulations, Ashley! I'm sure it's a huge weight that's been lifted. :)
Congrats! What a HUGE accomplishment! Does this mean you'll be here on the 17th? Perhaps you'll get the chance to meet Grace/Graff if he/she is on time! Let me know your travel plans when you have them :)
