And they all stood up!

It's no secret that our party of six has been in New Orleans for the last couple of days. Wednesday after school, we loaded up and headed to the big easy. The main purpose for our trip was for David to defend his final paper for his doctoral project. A long standing tradition at the seminary is when one completes their exit interview, they leave the room in order for the professors to dialog and make a decision, pass or fail. If the student passes the exam, then the professors stand up when the student reenters the room. I am proud, so very proud to say,
THEY ALL STOOD UP!
David passed his defense, and he will graduate in December. We are so proud of him and so thankful. How exciting that our party of six has yet another trip scheduled to visit this city we love so much. How even more exciting that the hard, nerve-wracking portion of our trip is over. So, now. . .
we can just enjoy our time in the Crescent City or the Who Dat nation as we lovingly call it. Trust me there are more fun posts to come from our time in the Big Easy. Tonight, we all went to David's favorite restaurant, New Orleans Food & Spirits, to celebrate his big day.
