Mr. H’s Very Big Day

Today was a big day.

A very big day.

As with most very big days, it involved a lot of waiting.

114

And people herded like animals into areas where they can do some more waiting.

112

There were some important people, like Quincy Jones and Bill Gates.

121

There were speeches.

And more speeches.

And more speeches.

And then there was more waiting in line (Mr. H is in the beard and sunglasses)

122

There were hands raised in celebration

124

And there was a memento/documentation.

150

Today Mr. H graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Arts, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, Persian.

I am so blessed and proud to be this man’s wife.

The Reading Room

The Reading Room

For the past couple of months the Husband has been encouraging me to pack up my goodies and go spend a day studying in the reading room in the Suzzillo Library at the University of Washington. It’s just a couple blocks away, but I’ve been resisting.

For some reason I felt intimidated.

I’m not sure why, in fact I think my IQ went up a few points just by my walking into the room.

This is such a beautiful room, and the people studying in the room treat it with respect. I love how there is a quiet in here that does not exist in other parts of the library. No jabbering on cell phones, no printers, no copiers, no high heels clacking.

Once I got over the gawkfest and took a few pictures, I was able to settle down and get some work done.

It was so nice to have a quiet place to work with no interruptions. Every once in a while the Husband is right.

Where do you do your writing?
