Game Plan

I have many things I would like to post about and I even have started loading pictures for a different adventure, BUT first this....our game plan since graduation.

I was thinking about this line from...you guessed it...You've Got Mail:

Birdie Conrad: You are daring to imagine that you could have a different life. Oh, I know it doesn't feel like that. You feel like a big fat failure now. But you're not. You are marching into the unknown armed with...
[pause]
Birdie Conrad: Nothing. Have a sandwich.

This is where we stand "marching into the unknown armed with....Nothing." Not really nothing, there is a cool framed DDS degree sitting in our living room. The nothing at this point comes in the form of solid job opportunities.

Rich has had two offers that seemed great on paper, but weren't right. We are still trying to find that RIGHT job and we are willing to wait for that to come. So until then, we are still here.

In fact being a "5th year senior" (by staying in the same apartments with the other students from our church) has some definite advantages, like living so close to so many friends-although we are seriously sad about all our close friends who are moving on, saving money, not having to do yardwork, calling maintenance when we need something fixed (who cares if they just paint over the water leak in our ceiling), going to the pool, and not having to pack just yet.

The Doug Funny Closet...no more

I always wondered what it would be like to be Doug Funny, who wore the same exact outfit every single day.

I am sure there is a certain level of convenience that comes with not having to think about what you are going to wear and just put on the same thing everyday. Rich has gloriously rocked the maroon scrubs for four years now. Many of them are starting to wear out in the hind region. He has passed his boards and graduation is less that 3 weeks away. We are so excited! Fortunately, the maroon scrub phase is coming to an end!

Royal wedding party

Some people throw sweet parties and others just show up. I happen to part of the latter group and went to a sweet royal wedding party. Complete with herbal tea, crumpets, trifle, "Eton Mess," and wedding cake. We were asked to dress up for the event. I came from work (and lets face it I only have so many skirts that fit these days and I need to reserve them for church), but made sure that I sported a hat. This hat was a beauty. Loaned to me from Mammie and it was fabulous! Thanks for the party ladies.

I know this picture is very silly, but I needed everyone to be able to admire the tulle train on the back of the hat.
