Graduation

The main reason we visited Ohio so shortly after moving to California was Andrew's graduation.  I can't believe he officially has a Ph.D and is Doctor Olsen.  I'm so proud of him!  He has worked so hard and has dedicated so much time and energy to finishing his education.  He missed a lot of sleep and a lot of fun, but he did it!

His defense was great- it was so fun for me to go watch him present, although I understood only about 10% of what was going on :)

I was filled with intense pride and gratitude watching him cross the stage.  I can't believe after so many years of classes, tests, papers, and stress, he's actually done!  Congratulations, Andrew.  I'm so proud of you!!!
