Jesse Time

Last week Jesse took the bar--a grueling 2 day test that kept him preoccupied for a good portion of the summer. Although it was hard to have him gone so much, the pain was tempered by the excitement I felt every time I realized I didn't have to teach again in the fall. After the test was over on Wednesday we officially began the Summer of Jesse. The time flew by with fun family activities like biking, bocce ball and bargain hunting. Jesse went back to work on Monday, but it somehow feels different knowing that the studying, which has felt like a third wheel in our life, is finally over. You know that feeling you have when you climb to the top of a mountain and you can see the terrain you just traversed as well as everything that lies in front of you--that is how I feel today and it feels pretty great.
