Important update on graduation

Yes I know we're fast-forwarding a bit by bringing up graduation already, but we have an important update for all of you who are thinking about or discussing the idea of coming over to Canterbury for Carl's graduation (the program is part of the University of Kent at Canterbury so the ceremonies are held in the Canterbury Cathedral - cool, huh?). We've just found out that we were mistaken about when the ceremonies take place, and the actual date is QUITE different from what we thought. It turns out that his ceremony won't be until sometime in November!!

We know this is a big change, and we offer a sincere apology to anyone who has made advance travel plans in anticipation of coming in September - we really did believe it would be then, and are quite surprised and frankly not happy to learn it will be so much later! At this time it is our understanding that Carl will have completed his studies (including his thesis/dissertation) by mid-September, so if you decide to stick with plans to come out then we SHOULD be available to visit with you and perhaps travel - it all depends on internships and jobs though, so again I'm sorry we can't be more committed to a schedule or specific plans. As for November, we're not even sure if we'll still be living here by then or not, so we may be flying across the pond to attend the ceremony ourselves! We'll keep everyone posted as we find out more, and thanks for your understanding!
