Of course, my successful defense of my dissertation on Monday was a definite highlight. It was such a relief to have that over and done with. After that was done, I finally felt like I could mail my invitations to graduation. I have three friends who are flying here for my graduation, and I'm excited for that. There must have been a huge adrenaline crash after Monday, because on Tuesday, my allergies kicked in with the worst vengence. I've been dosing myself with Xyzal, Afrin, and Chlor-Trimeton to deal with it and sleeping a lot to compensate.
Last weekend, we said goodbye to Ramy's 14-year old Acura Integra. It's seen Ramy from law school graduation through his bachelor days and into...well, adulthood and until now, but the time had come to put it out to pasture. It was a good car, and even when we were going to sell it to Carmax, we had people come out of the woodwork to buy it from us. As it turns out, it gets a new life with a teenager! One of our neighbors bought it for his granddaughter.
The reason we said goodbye to the Integra was because there's a new ride in our garage! Ramy got a new, smoking hot car last weekend. Although I think my influence on Ramy contributed to the selection of the color of the car, it hasn't extended far enough that he is willing to give cars names the way I like to do. Rebecca even has a brand new big girl seat to go in his new car. We are now parking as far away from everyone else as we possibly can, in fear of anyone dinging this beautiful new car!
