monday memories

It's that time of year again.
That time when kids of many ages are graduating.
Be it from kindergarten
or moving from the fourth grade to the fifth grade
or the big one- college.

Somehow it's been seven years since I was one of those kids in college
That was

*seven years,
*three kids,
*fifteen pounds,
*and two states ago.

Randy and I were bright-eyed and excited for our future.
Not a penny between us, but somehow we found the courage to
live in a retirement community (would you like to hear those stories?)
start a family
apply and start dental school
move to Las Vegas... than across the country (with brand-new baby in tow)
to start a pediatric residency
and somehow it's all worked out.
Who's to say a couple of
just twenty-somethings can't make it in this world?

Let's face it- sometimes all it takes is a bit of blissful ignorance (and maybe a little FAITH) to make it all work out.
