Graduation and more

Hurray! Chris graduated! I feel guilty for not posting this a little sooner, since it is a very momentous occasion. Chris and I have both commented that the two years flew by quicker than we expected (and then Chris says he is done with school for the rest of his life...no argument from me).

The house we have been living in for the past two and half years sold, so we have moved in with Chris's parents for a couple of months. I never realized how much I love the rural life until now. I take several bicycle rides with Maren each day and we drive past all the little "farms" and say hi to the animals. It is so peaceful and I have started fantasizing about owing a little house with a garden and chickens and an orchard filled with sheep. I would spend my days making bread and drying my laundry outside... At least for the next few months we are going to enjoy this life.

Congratulations Chris! That's a lot of hard work and it will so be worth it. And of course, we will miss you guys terribly when you move away. We need to get together SOON. Before we know it, you will be gone.

Wow, good luck with all your future plans. Dawn found me on Facebook today and we've been reminiscing about Bayside days. Lots of fun. Maren is beautiful. All the best to you guys!
