He did it!! My husband is officially Dr. Felix Verdigets!!!!!!! After having to travel two straight weeks for work, Felix drove to Auburn today to defend his dissertation. I can't explain how proud of him I am. He has been working on his PhD since I have known him, and I know you might think that is a long time, but let me explain further. The first couple of years of the doctorate program, Felix would stay up all night bartending in Auburn, come home and shower, and head straight to an 8 am statistics course (which caused many stomach ulcers). After his coursework was over, he then took on a full time job with the University recruiting for the MBA programs. Next, he took a full time job in Atlanta as a consultant and worked almost every weekend and around the clock. Next, he took a full time job as an Associate Principle for a consulting firm based out of Chicago. On top of all of this he would constantly write away at his dissertation. And out of all of these super hard things he has done, none of them are as hard as putting up with yours truly. He is the best husband in the entire world. He works hard to provide for us, and I could never give him enough credit and thanks for all he does for our little family. Congratulations and I love you Pooks!
P.S. He is going to KILL me for posting this picture, but I just had to. It's so appropriate :) Once a graduate, always a graduate!!
