5 Weeks and Counting....

Just a quick update on the everyday life of The Ray's.

So Doug graduates 2 weeks from tomorrow (Saturday). Man, the past four years have flown by. We were talking tonight and it seems like yesterday when we found out he got accepted and now he is graduating. It's been a fun ride and I have made a lot of great friends along the way. When people used to say, "it will fly by", I kind of thought "no way"! 2009 seemed so far out of reached and now here we are.

I have 5 weeks and counting left, living and working in the state of North Carolina. I have to say, if you asked four years ago, where I would be in 5 years, it would not have been Pennsylvania. I am excited about this step though. It's just funny to me how things change so much in that amount of time. I was never planning to move to Raleigh and I did, then I was planning on moving right back to AC and now I'm not, and then I have a 2-5 year plan to be in PA, so we will see where that plan ends up. I beginning to think there is much sound in my planning, or at least the follow through. But I am happy where my life is and excited to take this step. I feel a very "green" life in my future.

We will also be celebrating our 5th anniversary in three weeks! Of course, since we are going to the beach after graduation, we will be celebrating our anniversary with 16 or so of our closest friends. Not a bad way to celebrate I suppose. It does seem odd, that if we stick to the 5 year end of the plan, I could be celebrating my 10th anniversary in PA. Wow, that's kinda scary. I don't know which is scarier; that I will be in PA still or my 10th anniversary. That just makes me feel old already. It is hard to believe sometimes that Doug and I have been together almost 7 years. Where does the time go? And how have I put up with that boy this long (that's for you honey)!?!

Well, other than all the packing and planning, that pretty much sums it up. Although, this has all been keeping me plenty busy. And I am sure with all the school events in the next two weeks, I will not be bored anytime soon.

As always, thanks for following my sometimes thoughtful, sometimes random blog. (and ignoring all my grammatical mistakes)
