September 2nd - A Day of Beginnings

Eleven years ago, September 2, 1997 to be exact, Joel began his first day of work at a real job, in a real office, for a real paycheck. I wish I had a picture of his nervous 22 year old baby-faced self. Married for all of 3 months, newly college graduated and recently moved to Rhode Island from Arkansas we had the world by the tail! Or so we thought.

Fast forward eleven years.

Another baby-faced male sits at my kitchen table entering a new era of his life. How can this be? How can my firstborn start Kindergarten already?!

The crazy part is going to be how quickly the next 11 years go! Before you know it, you'll be blogging about which universities you're visiting.
