That's Hot Thursday, Vol. 003

Today's "That's Hot Thursday" is dedicated to the 2 most important men in my life, as today was a very special day for both of them:

Firstly, I'd like to congratulate my dad on his retirement. His company celebrated him with a nice party this afternoon. He has been working so hard for over 40 years to give my family a better life than he had, so for that I thank him. Congrats, daddy! I hope we've made all your work worth it!

Secondly, I'd like to congratulate my boyfriend for successfully defending his dissertation. After 5 years of hard work in his Ph.D program, he officially has earned his title and the right to place "Dr." in front of his name. Congratulations, Christian! I mean, Dr. Christian.

This day will be remembered as a huge milestone for both of them, and I look forward to the next chapter in their lives. I'm sad that I couldn't be in both places at once, but I couldn't be happier for the two of them. Nothing is hotter than the successes of hard-working individuals.

Dad & Christian: I love you and am soooo proud of you both!

Love,
Jess
