Surprise visit

Golly, I'm pretty behind in the blog world!

Bryce has moved up the date for his Ph.D. defense to December 12th, 2012 instead of later in the Spring of 2013.  This means, he will finish his Ph.D. after 3.5 years!  I'm so happy/proud/excited/relieved for him!  Along with finishing sooner than expected, the job search started.  About a month ago, he started applying to jobs, both at universities and industry jobs.  He heard back from a handful of companies within about a week.  After phone interviews, three companies flew him out for on-site interviews.  He had a crazy 2 weeks of traveling the country, to Portland, Dallas, and Los Angeles.  More on this later...

While he was traveling, I decided to surprise his parents for the weekend.  Connie was so excited, she started crying when she saw Madison!  It was special because they hadn't seen her for almost 6 weeks.





We helped decorate the Christmas tree, went shopping, and relaxed at home.


Uncle Brett was good at making Madison smile.
Wow, you can really see the difference in their size here!


Madison got to spend some quality time with cousin Luke.

Didn't realize Madison's darker skin color until she sat next to her cousins!
