It's hard to believe that Josh's classes ended Friday. "Slope Day" is an annual Cornell tradition that takes place on the last day of class. Its
history is really interesting - it started in 1901 and has had performances from a few notable bands: The Grateful Dead (1977); the Ramones (1984); Kanye West (2004); Snoop Dogg (2005); Ben Folds (2006)...unfortunately the bands were not exciting this year with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Gym Class Heroes and Hot Hot Heat??! I got to work all day and enjoy the loud music and screaming undergrads from my window. Josh got to sleep in and go to a friends house where they played Poker, drank Bloody Mary's and ate breakfast tacos. Being from Texas Christian University, this was all a complete shock to me...I saw kids walking around in a daze, passed out on the lawn outside my window, hugging trees to brace themselves (or really hide themselves while they proceeded to vomit!) Glad I had gotten past the queasy stage - I would have been embarrassed to have had someone I work with see me "react" to what I had seen and not know I was pregnant! Would have been hard to explain...anyway, in case it's hard for you to imagine what it's like:
My "tree" example...
I had a package waiting for me on my doorstep when I got home. My dear friend Andrea sent us a handmade journal and the cutest little onsie for baby Reynolds:
On to another Cornell tradition - the Johnson School's annual Mustache Competition...I knew Josh was competitive, but I didn't think he would be so disciplined or so creative with his costume. He worked on his mustache for at least 3 weeks. Unfortunately he didn't win "Best in Show" but he did win in his category...which I'll let y'all imagine what that category was (after all, this blog is being read by 80+ year old women:))

That's a lot different than Baylor too :) Awesome beard Josh - Reid will be jealous!
Have you shaved yet, Josh?
The beard is beautiful. Please never shave it. I wish Marshall could grow that.
When do we find out if we have a boy or a girl Reynolds?!?!
Love ya'll!

sorry Perm. once you've shown the world that you're capable of rolling with that look, you have no excuse for ever reverting back to the Dorkwad motif you normally present. And Beth...nothing would have topped off Josh's "costume" like an accompanying pregnant chick holding a Bloody Mary and a margarita.
For what it's worth, Ted Leo rules.
Will Josh still have his mustache when y'all are in Dallas? If he can keep it that long, I'd be super impressed!
You have lovely molars and bicuspids, Perm. Your baby, whether boy or girl, will always be known to me as Burp Reynolds.
