August 24, 2 days prior to our 14th anniversary, Kevin woke up early to don a suit, tie and Birks for his first week of dental school. No worries, the Birks only were for the mile walk from our house to the school. But one can get away with such a fashion faux pas here in A2. This was the moment we have been centering our lives around for the past few years. We frolicked all summer (minus getting our house ready for the market, the move - not much frolicking when you are packing up a life of 10 yrs) to soak up, in Kevin's words, "his summer of frivolity," savoring each day knowing that life was going to turn upside down. A new state, city, friends, lifestyle, schools and the list goes on...
Kevin's 1st DayWe are in week 2. As I type, the kids lie in their beds, and Kevin studies for his 2 tests tomorrow! It's definitely a new life, but it's really good. I can still happily pull out my Life is Good wear and mean it! We are so thankful for this opportunity. The next 2 years in particular will be challenging and we'll have intermittent family time, but we are transitioning pretty well. In fact, Evelyn is happily counting down the days until she can begin school-- that will be a whole other post! We are at 5 days and counting... This is a good sign. Life is good!
