We’re excited that today is Dee’s dissertation defense for her PhD in Mathematics. She is scheduled to present her research (Laminations: A Topological Approach) at 1 pm CST and, hopefully, will complete the defense around 4 pm. Her presentation is around 45 minutes long, followed by a series of questions from the general audience, then her committee. So, she’s just a few hours away from being “Dr. Dee.” 
Also, we finally moved all our stuff into the house in Cleveland. Whew! It was quite an ordeal. Before we left Pelham, we held a pretty large yard sale and sold (or gave away) quite a bit of stuff. It’s amazing the things that we collect over the years.
In light of our recent move, last Sunday was our first (official) Sunday at Gateway church. We’re excited to join the faith family at Gateway in service for God’s Kingdom. We’ll be working with the lead pastor, Jason Daughdrill, in areas of discipleship/teaching. Special thanks to everyone who has been praying for us concerning this transition from BHM to TN. Time seems to be flying by and what was once an “upcoming transition” is actually here. And, as always, God’s grace (and infinite wisdom) is definitely in the mix.
Blessings
