is there a doctor in the house?

no....there's TWO! that's right, my older sister, shari, passed her dissertation defense on wednesday, november 19th. her defense was at noon, and my mother, father, matt and myself all were able to attend and support her during her presentation. i wasn't able to stay to congratulate her when she officially passed, but matt got some great pics and the entire family went out for a celebratory dinner (and cookie monsters!) at cheddar's later that night. shari passed at the highest level possible, with no revisions required, so she's pretty much done! now we can have twice the fun after the double graduation in december! congratulations, Dr. Shari Childers!!!!
