So of course
I mention that I have exciting news, and then I go quiet for a little bit :)
There's actually a bunch of news.
I've set my oral defense date.
My bro-in-law got engaged!
My conference symposium was accepted.
But also, I'm moving to California... for the summer! I'm really excited that I just accepted an offer to work at a company in the Bay Area (hint: rhymes with frugal). The project sounds super fun, and I think I'm going to learn a lot!

I had a few photos backed up from Ev's cousin's wedding out in Missouri. It was a wonderful wedding - definitely the first time I've ever seen a bride and groom ride off... in an ATV (how fun!)

The bride's father was so photogenic. How could we not get a shot? And TBH, this is my first time seeing a Texas tux executed IRL, and I wanted to document the moment.
Things have been pretty insane already in the first week of the quarter. I'm also teaching this quarter. So far, I love my new students. They're so engaged, eager, and sweet. Also, I have this one student who can say any word backwards. It's pretty entertaining.
