I hate to sound redundant, but Brian really is almost finished with his PhD. I have to think about it a little bit because I have a feeling the end will really be quite sudden and I want to be prepared for it. I want to be able to relish it without going into shock at the thought that Brian will be home in the evenings now. I want to enjoy the happiness I will feel when I look at his face and don't see stress, strain, and bags under his eyes. Maybe his new job on campus won't be as fun as I think it might be, but won't it be easier for him than this?
Brian turned in part of his dissertation, due to his committee members tomorrow, October 15, and was granted a "great paper" review by his somewhat conservative in the praise category major professor. I think it made his day. And probably made the next 24 hours, which he said will be spent in his office, just a little more bearable.
Brian will soon be Dr. James Brian Jordon with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering.

Dr. Jordon. It has a nice ring to it. You know, formally, your titles are going to be "Dr and Mrs. Brian Jordon." Sounds pretty nice.
I know it will all be worth it!
