Finally graduating...

Yesterday, I successfully defended my Master's Thesis entitled "Valuing Natural Amenities in Spatially Variable Contexts: an Hedonic Pricing Study in King County, WA." After I satisfy the Graduate School's onerous thesis formatting requirements over the next few weeks, I will officially graduate. This concludes my education at the University of Washington. I have been in school at least part-time for the last 7 years.  I have had a great experience in both the Economics and Geography departments. My education led me to my current job as a full-time research scientist at the Center for Urban Simulation and Policy Analysis where we continue to do original research with and implementation of our software, UrbanSim.

Now that school is finally over, I feel like I can concentrate on other things, such as reading for pleasure! I have learned a lot while taking classes, but the next even more challenging learning experience has already begun: learning how to be a parent. I couldn't have done any of this without Tina's support.

Hopefully I will have more time now to post pictures and stuff here. Don't expect anything too soon because we have started moving into our new house, but after the dust settles, I think there will be time.
