Crossroads

I've been reflecting on the past a lot since we seem to be at a crossroad in life, so I guess I'll share my thoughts.

The other night I was thinking about Ben being done with school and looking at pictures to see what our little family has been doing for the past three years. I remember thinking we were crazy to start law school with a new baby, but we ended up with three by the end! We bought our first house. We took a few vacations and went to California lots of times. We both became self-employed to pay the bills.

We have been so happy and I'm glad we moved on with life instead of staying still when Ben was in school. So here are some of the firsts we experienced over the past few years.

Okay...then not a lot happened except lots of trips to California, Anna getting bigger and cuter, and life moving along. Until...

First time we were pregnant with twins. Okay, obviously from this picture I was the one pregnant with twins.

First time (oh, and the second time!) Ben missed the birth of one of his kids.

And I guess that brings us to today. I know there are lots more, but I'm all out of energy looking for pictures. When Ben was filling out an application to practice law in California recently, we had to gather all of his addresses for the past 8 years. There were like 10. We sure have been gypsies, and I'm ready to settle down. Now just the simple task of finding a job and figuring out exactly where that will be...

Here's to another productive three years when I go to graduate school.

Ha ha, not yet.
