Since my Mother's Day melt down... Life has been busy. Todd completed his 3rd and final year at UVA Law. Graduation happened. Here is proof.
The three years flew by really. We are so proud of Todd. He had a few weeks to relax before he buried himself in the preparation for the bar exam which he took, and passed. In the two months after the bar exam and before he began work. We enjoyed a beautiful week in the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts.
Mid October Husband started to work in Washington D.C. He rented a Town-home in Alexandria and we stayed in Charlottesville. It was ... it was... I have no words. How about this-? Do you remember this little piece? More specifically all that poetic fluffy stuff about staying positive because it's all going to be ok. Well the thing is when your following the new path- going over the bumps, blinded by the wind, burned by the sun etc. It's just a little like marching. You just keep going because you have to, but it becomes near impossible to remember that it's not as bad as it feels. Honestly this is how life has been leading into the move until recently. I will spare you all the details. Thankfully though we are in one of those places where it is time to rest up. What changed? Well for me it was stumbling into a church and remembering I am not alone. I have all the things I need to be happy. A loving husband, healthy children, and God. All the rest of it... pfsh Whatevs. It was brutal for a while, but I'm still alive.
So here we are in Maryland, ready to begin our new Chapter.
