But almost every weekend from Feb 21 to past weekend (May 26) was filled by something wonderful, which made it worth it.
Weddings, family visits, retreats, graduations, murder mystery dinners, lock-ins, you get the idea.
It was crazy and busy and beautiful.
But between that and the whole PhD thing I'm still working on, there was little time left for other things like blogging...or scrubbing my shower (which in case you were wondering was the first thing I did after I turned in my last paper)
But without further ado, here is a brief glimpse of what my semester looked like:
Jamie's beautiful wedding weekend: the most wonderful weekend of this horribly cold winter
My spring break was busy, filled with family, birthday surprises, trips to the Zoo, Stone Mountain, Millidgeville (not pictured the NT exegesis paper I graded)
Catie's getting married!
Easter 2014
Sara's got an MFA.
Alex has an MDiv...and a pug named Bishop.
The brilliant Candace (and my sweet church compatriot) at the UMW Fashion Show (you read that right)
Mother's Day Painting with the Family.
So that was a brief brief glimpse into all the good parts of my semester. It was filled to the brim with people that I love. There was also lots of stress as the final papers refused to write themselves no matter how hard I begged and working at church as more paperwork than anyone would guess. But one year of PhD work is officially down and the summer is here with new fun adventures and schoolwork (Ich lerne Deutsch lesen.)
Stay tuned for the next post: Guy turns 27. It involved a lot of dessert.
