i am happy and proud to announce that on monday, july 19th aaron successfully defended and earned his phd in earth and space science (seismology, specifically). he gave a 45 minute talk followed by a short q & a by the audience, then he was grilled by his selection committee for another hour. he is mighty humble about it, but i am not. i'm pretty close to stopping strangers in the streets just to tell them about my awesomely smart boyfriend. i know he gives the impression that he plays a lot harder than he works, but this is proof that he puts in a lot of hours "doing science" as well. its a side of him that is sometimes hidden. to celebrate his adviser held a nice bbq at his house. it was nice to be able to finally meet some of the faculty that i hear so much about and to see a few much loved, but rarely seen faces.
congratulations, aaron. i love you and i am awfully proud.
