Laurel defended her dissertation yesterday in DC. It was accepted with acclaim. This is such GREAT news! It turns out that Shakespeare’s ‘Nothing’ is worth something. She will graduate, God willing, on May 13.
We went today to celebrate by visiting the Cherry Blossoms around the monuments. It was so crowded that we could not get out and see it. But we did get some good pics at one Cherry Blossom that we could find! [See above]
Please pass the good news on to interested friends. And comment with some congratulations if you like. [Click on the comments button and follow instructions.]
Love, Justin.

Tom And Diane,
You are the first people to call her Dr Moffatt! A milestone indeed.
Thanks for posting.
Justin.
asie from the many congratulations and well dones on 'nothing' (oh the irony), can i just say that Laurel you should be sooooooo proud of yourself!!!! em's right, look at the the things that you've accomplished over the years - all the while loving and serving your hubby and your beautiful children and growing in God (well, ok - maybe the last part is more Him and the graciousness of His HS). anyway...i think you should go out and do something fabulous to celebrate - you all deserve it. xxx
Ahhh, this is wonderful news! Have been thinking about you all for days now, hoping it went well. Many congratulations, to the entire family!
Dr.
YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Shinola baby, it's all shinola! Well done Laurel, no more nasty requests to edit or retype. Just a big fat certificate and some more letters - that's a much better sittuation.
The Dude: Also, my rug was stolen.
Younger Cop: The rug was in the car?
The Dude: No. It was here.
Younger Cop: [eager] Oh, separate incidents.
Maude Lebowski: [on answering machine] Jeffrey, this is Maude Lebowski. I need to see you. I'm the one who took your rug.
Younger Cop: Well. I guess we can close the books on that one.
- its time to finally close the books!

Hi Justin and family,

Nice to catch up on your news.

Congratulations Laurel!
We laughed hard at the elmo blog.
You are now a 'real doctor' as I am frequently reminded by real doctors.
Love,
Ben and Kate
Is that red hair on "The Girl"?
I like red hair.

hey Juddy, Laurel, The Boy and The Girl! It's just fantastic to read your blog! I would in fact argue, Justin, that you are more eloquent that Bonhoeffer - at least than any of the English translations of Bonhoeffer I've read.
Congratulations Laurel on graduating!! Yay!!
I hope you 4 and us 4 can meet up some time. Seattle and NYC aren't ALL that far away!!
Remember that 'Stop That Lemming' party at your place? Good grief - that was rather a while ago?!
How and where did you two meet? I met my Yankee in Argentina! He's wonderful. My children have American accents! Ahhh! They call me MOOOOOOOM!! (though I gently remind them that I'm actually mUm!!)
Cheers!!
