Today Joe had a comprehensive exam defense and his dissertation proposal (committee members like it when we can combine meetings to avoid having to come in more often than is necessary). Both parts went well, and he is now officially ABD (All But Dissertation). His dissertation will be "Reading the X-Men: Portrayals of Race and Gender in a Popular Comic Book Narrative."
Emily had her comp defense a couple months ago, so she was already ABD. Now all we have to do is write those dissertations...
Having closed the MI chapter of our lives, where we met, fell in love, and survived graduate school together, we are now on to being professors in ID. While we enjoy teaching, our lives revolve around each other and our kids: Lizzie & Kit.
