something to celebrate

jillian vratanina took this shot. we were all in school, my boyfriend would graduate the following year, and then we'd be off.

which is exactly what happened my friends. the boyfriend proposed and we left without my bachelors. we were moving constantly for his career which turned my life into a dastardly story of hindsight making me its b-word.

but.

last month husband was relocated back to east lansing.
this girl applied to state & was accepted back with open arms.
do i feel old? yes. do i wish i had more inner direction when i was a freshman? yes. will it matter when i'm 40? not a chance.

so here's to second chances. here's to having your cake and eating it too. and here's a very special cheers to super seniors.
