My sister from Califormia came in on Saturday to spend the week of Thanksgiving. I'm here in Gunnison to spend time with her. Scott's parents are flying in late Tuesday night. They'll spend that night in West Valley and then come to our place on Wednesday. We'll be spending the majority of the rest of the time with them, so I want to spend what days I have with my sister and her family. I also want Richard and Audrey to have the opportunity to get to know their cousins. We'll spend Thanksgiving day with my family, though, since we ate dinner with the Woolston's last year.

Scott got an e-mail from the ME Department secretary saying that he does not qualify for December graduation but if he gets his thesis defended by December 10 and off to the printers (or whatever) by December 20, then he won't have to pay tuition next semester! I don't care the official graduation date on his diploma and he'd have to walk in April anyway, so it doesn't bother me that he wouldn't officially graduate until April if we don't have to pay more tuition! So, Scott is working really hard while I'm in Gunnison to make a lot of progress since his progress will be limited once his parents arrive.
