Time Flies

I wrote my first blog entry just 78 days ago, Exciting Countdowns.  Since then I have only posted a couple times more, but I knew that was probably going to be the case.  I can now say that I had a great time in Madrid, a fantastic time in Disney, and my final presentation of grad school went off without a hitch.

I'll hopefully get time soon to upload photos and post about my latest adventures, but right now I'm just going to relax for the weekend.  I'm taking everything in as there are a few really significant changes about to take place and I'm going to take the time to appreciate and celebrate them.

First - school is out in 1 week.  I have one final paper (which is basically done) to hand in and then I'm walking away from the classroom for a long while.  I'm sure I'll end up back there eventually, but I need to spend some time finding my real place in the world and paying specific attention on finding free time activities that make me happy.

Second- Kristen has been accepted into graduate school and is moving in exactly 1 week to Buffalo, NY.  Could she have picked a colder and farther away place?  Well...probably but we'll be thankful she's still in NE.  I couldn't be more proud of her, but I'm going to miss her like crazy.  So she deserves a big celebration in her honor and we'll make sure that happens tonight. 

For now, I bid you adeiu as I wrap up the day and head downtown to be with good friends.
