You Did It! - Now move along

You know the weirdest thing about finishing is ... starting up again. We've spent 5 years (including law application time) waiting for this moment to finish the bar. And now its done. It's like the bus stopped, we arrived and now what? I didn't plan for the after, just the before.

The other strange thing is that I didn't have to study tonight (obviously, I'm posting to the blog). I haven't not had something to do for five years. There's malingering guilt, that sneaks up on me from time to time - speaking to my subconcious, "You are not studying and therefore you will FLUNK! Bwa hah hah hah!" I sit bolt upright and try and figure out what I'm forgetting, whether its midnight or mid-day.

And the funny thing is that Kat hasn't noticed, or has noticed but ignores it hoping it will go away like that time I tried to construct a heavy metal version of pop-goes-the-weasel that turned out more like a bad rendition of a bald stray dog sucking on a pickle on a downhill glacier. Its better that the memory end there.

Now, Kat actually thinks I'm fun to be around - at least when I'm not packing (a result of the guilt, no less - can't be totally non-productive). Timothy no longer talks about visiting me at my house - the law school. And Kassie will dance on my stomach until my legs come up and she can slide down. It's amazing how quickly she's learned how I react to stomach dancing.

Now that I've totally digressed from the post topic, I should swear off midnight posting. Good luck to all who read this --> I'm happy, I'm tired and I'm really excited for the future. Therefore I have no business making sense at this juncture. Good Night.

We Did It!

Well, after 4 years, 2 kids, and one long summer of studying....we did it! Ben is officially done with law school AND the bar exam! It still seems strange that Ben won't be starting classes this month. Instead, we'll be moving (in 3 short weeks!) and Ben will start working full time. We're so excited about this new part of our life. Way to go honey!

Hey Kassie! Daddy finished law school, what do you think we should do now?

Disneyland? Ok! Thanks to Grandma and Papa, we have a condo for a week near Disneyland! Don't know when yet, but it's definitely in the works!
