Graduation-time Reflections

Man how the time flies.

We are planning to go to Jeremy's cousin's high school graduation tonight. Then I realized it has been almost a decade since my own high school graduation. Nine years this year! Where did the time go?

In some ways it feels like a million years ago. In others, it seems like it was just yesterday that we were getting our diplomas. So much has happened since then. I have:

~Gotten married
~Finished college
~Built a house
~Delivered 3 babies
~Babysat SEVERAL more
~Gained family and friends
~Lost family and friends

And so much more. It's amazing how much you can pack into nine years of life. Wonder how full the next 9 will be??

So to Haley and all the other young'uns who will be graduating in the next couple of weeks, congratulations and best wishes. Live every minute to its fullest. Love to your heart's fullest extent. Pack in as many memories as you can. But keep things simple. It makes everything mean so much more.
