This has been occupying our every weekend and non-work moment for two years--and before that, it was my thesis. (And apps.)
Now, I do have to schedule and mount a dissertation defense.
But other than that, I can start to do all the stuff I haven't done in probably four years or so, and certainly for the duration of our marriage.
Like both of us being on baby duty at once. Like being able to pick up toys in the living room and it's not 5am or 12midnight. Going to the library together one weekend day, or putting a DVD on and sitting down. (At the same time, and on the same sofa.) One of us being able to cook something, as the other can take care of Limelet. Phone calls, even! Who knows?
Oh, it's sent. The email copies, at any rate. I just have to find time to print, have copied, and mail out the hard copies now.
It's just too bad that I initially included the wrong abstract in my title / contents page. When I realized that, I just sent another one a few hours later, so--oh well. Whatever.

That must be a weird change.
It really is.

Congrats. I'm sure the defense won't be a big deal, so just enjoy some much deserved family time!

So which one of these am I?
Yay!!! Enjoy not knowing what to do with yourself. I do!
