All done!

I wanted to post some more pictures from our big weekend in Chapel Hill. My defense (successful, by the way) was on Friday, as well as a celebratory happy hour and party at Bob's. At the party, the new Dr. Willow and I received fantastic, personal gifts from both Bob and the lab. Bob gave me an 1898 book on microscopy that he found in Cambridge...this may be why I'm reading it with a British accent. The lab gave me an antique microscope, and I'm currently trying to figure out more about it. The rest of the weekend included the stuffing of faces at Foster's Market, Mama Dip's, Southern Season's Weathervane, and Carolina Inn. I think the entire family had a wonderful time, and I know that the weekend was so memorable and fun for me. I am so lucky to have such an awesome husband, family, advisor, and lab!

My defense begins....

One of my favorite traditions after a defense....defacing university property with a popped champagne cork and signing the damage as a new doc.

Bob, like any great advisor, helped me deface university property.

Brian found that Chapel Hill residents renamed these toilet seat covers. Only Brian would have his camera in a public toilet.
