Today was Jake's last class as a Duke MBA student. He turned in his last project/paper a couple nights ago. 20 months has gone by fast, but slow. I'm really excited to have him back on week nights, no more long weeks away, and most importantly, to have Saturdays free again! I'm really proud of all the hard work he put into it. His graduation will be May 15. We celebrated this evening by going out to eat at Panera and an ice cream at Marble Slab. Afterward Jake asked me what I wanted to do to celebrate because he thinks it was harder on me...he had fun! Well, either way...WE DID IT!
Our real celebration will come in about 3 weeks. Every time I asked Jake what he wanted for his birthday/graduation he always expressed how much he wanted to go home. The other night as I was falling asleep, Jake decided to spontaneously purchase tickets to Brussels. We will go for 2 weeks, getting home the day before Tommy turns two :) We're really excited!
