Time to Celebrate

I am finally done with my master's degree. Only two full years of constant classes and thousands of hours of homework, and I've done it. Well...mostly. I took my final on Wednesday, and now I am just waiting for my final grade to prove that I actually did pass. But, I am confident and Joe and I already cracked a bottle of champagne in celebration. Once the grades come in and its official, I'm going to make him take me out to dinner somewhere really nice. Now, its time to remember what I used to do with all the free time I am going to find myself with. Wedding planning might take over! Standby for updates... :)

Ripley's Birthday

Ripley's birthday is on Wednesday (12 Aug), but we decided to celebrate a little bit early, since I had time to bake this weekend. Here is a picture of her and I with her cake. And yes, you read the cake right - Happy 17th Birthday Ripley!
