Jerikaye's Firedance at Roxi's PhD Party

Today's video comes from our trip back to the States in May for Roxi's graduation. On May 24, 2009, we had a huge party at Roxi's parents' house in Lafayette, LA to celebrate the achievement. The evening culminated with a fire dance performed by Roxi's friend Jerikaye.

This post is a few days late but we've been pretty busy since we left Enschede last Friday for a two week visit to Lafayette. On Sunday night, all the hard work and time that Roxi has put in to her research and dissertation culminated in her graduation from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a Doctorate of Philosophy in Cognitive Science. I am so proud of her accomplishment and decision to stick it out even though it was very, very hard at times. She was one of only nineteen PhDs this semester and the only graduate in Cognitive Science from UL this year. Congratulations Dr. Roxanne Beaugh Benoit Raine!
