Happy graduation Jason!

This past weekend, we celebrated more than just Mother's Day. Jason graduated with his Masters degree from University of Colorado at Denver! I could not be more proud of him and all his hard work and accomplishments.

In just over a year, Jason has...
  • finished a 30 hour Masters degree
  • maintained a 4.0 GPA
  • been published in an academic journal
  • found an amazing job in his field
  • been incredibly successful in his new job!
This past Saturday we spent the day celebrating Jason with his parents (who were in town for the week) and his brother and Rachel. Of course, we had to start the day with an appropriately nerdy outing.


It was fantastic!

Then we came home for a couple of hours and I made Jason's favourite dessert for us to enjoy later!

(Wish I had a picture of our actual pie, but it's almost all gone at this point!)

The night was topped off by dinner at Ondo's, this fantastic Spanish tapas restaurant. Oh man. So good! I love getting to eat so many different things. The sangria is seriously amazing, and the food is delicious.



I cannot believe how fast this whole grad school thing has gone for us. Who knew that at 26 years old, we would BOTH be finished with our Masters degrees? I am so so so proud of Jason, and I am so looking forward to where his career takes him. This degree was the first step on a road that is already showing to be the right path for him professionally! It thrills me to see how happy and fulfilled he is at work.

Another picture from our sledding adventure in February. Love to see that happy smile! 
Wish I had a picture from his graduation weekend, but I'm planning on taking some pictures in honor of graduating soon!

Yeah!!! I am so happy for y'all - a great accomplishment for the BOTH of you! And by appropriately nerdy, I think you actually meant to type appropriately AWESOME. Love you both.

Spain just won the World Cup! Alas, I was rooting for the Netherlands. But I've been to Spain! So I'm excited for them too. The view from the Alhambra in Granada.

First Finished Quilt!

Image
I am so proud. After over a month of working on it (off and on), I finally finished my first quilt! For some reason I was having anxiety about quilting and especially binding it, but it ended up being totally fine. I don't know why I was so worried. It turned out great! Mission accomplished... he likes it!

Mother's Day

Happy day after Mother's Day! I hope you got to enjoy the day with your mom, or if you can at least talk to her on the phone. I'm writing this the week before Mother's Day, but I plan to Skype with my mom, and my mother-in-law will be in town staying with us! I really wanted to make something for my mom and mother-in-law this year. I can only make so many random things for myself, so I love getting to make things for my family! Sorry family, expect homemade things for Christmas and birthdays this year... I'm having way too much fun to stop! My Mother-in-law Karen has a Kindle Keyboard and a Kindle Fire. Conveniently, both devices have almost the same dimensions. Sweet! So I made her a soft case for whichever one she chooses. Jason went to the fabric store with me and helped pick out the fabric. He specifically wanted something purple. We picked the outside fabric first, then had a bit of trouble finding a coordinating fabric for the lining. When Jason saw this...
