'Tis the season to...

GRADUATE!!!
I just got my official certificate of completion for my independent study class--my last class of my undergraduate career. Bittersweet moment (as you can see from my face.) Actually, mostly just pretty darn sweet! It was a close call. Two whole weeks of sweat and tears went into that blasted class, making me one sweaty, happy college graduate. Just one more thing to celebrate! Life is good.

In other news, Chace will also be 'graduating' from Dow's Commercial Development Program next week, after which we will probably be graduating from from being Michiganders to being Chicagoans, and from apartment rentership to home ownership. Unfortunately, I will probably be graduating from my regular wardrobe to maternity clothing and, I'm certain, after several holiday feasts in the coming weeks, from the 150 lbs and under category! But I suppose it's all worth it for our graduation from childlessness to parenthood! We sure like this little lady already--even if she does wake up her mammy in the wee hours of the morning with her squirming...

P.S. Little Cricket's mugshots to come. And for those who've requested belly pictures: don't worry-- there hasn't been much to see till recently. I'll see if I can bring myself to post a picture of my jolly self one of these days... no promises!
