passing

(Sweet notes from ashley)

So yes, most of the reason for my absence on the blog (and in life) was my dissertation proposal and gearing up for its defense. After I passed (holla!) much celebration was had.  

Immediately after, we went out to Kipos for lunch and drinks.  

Then the next day, Jonathan planned a little surprise for me, gathering our friends at my favorite brewery, Big Boss! 

I then had a few days to relax and prep for Christmas before heading to Cali to celebrate with my friends and family!
