Genius

It's official! My husband was awarded tenure at the Colorado School of Mines!!! If you've ever known a tenure-track university professor then you know what a grueling process it is! He's worked SO HARD, and I am SOOOO proud of him!!!

Part of our celebration (because...trust me...we will be celebrating this achievement for a LOOOONNNNGGG time...HA!) was breakfast at one of Tony's favorite places, Devil's Food, in Denver on Saturday. It was super yummy!

And here's the card I made for my handsome GENIUS:

He LOVED it!

And since this card uses the ADORABLE professor from Smarty Pants (Paper Smooches), I'm going to enter it into their May Guest Designer Search.

Did you have a nice Easter? It was a GORGEOUS day here in the mountains, so we went hiking in the State Park that borders our neighborhood! Here are a few photos:

(What do you think??? Does he look like the little professor on the card??? HA!)

Thanks for stopping by!!!
