This weekend was a big one for us. David's mother came to visit, David graduated, Lily had her dance recital, Mother's Day.

Big weekend indeed.

David's graduation was one of my favorite parts. We didn't make a big deal out of it, as David isn't the kind of person to make a big deal out of anything, but for me, privately, it was a very big deal.

His graduation (he got a masters in Geography - and we call him Master David) marks the end of a chapter in our lives. One that revolved around education, living and trying to thrive somewhere new and far away from home, putting our little family unit at the forefront of decisions. Trying to be grown ups.

With the end of this moment in our lives, I'm excited to embark on the next one. One that involves career decisions, a new place to make our home, and planning for the rest of our lives. This end is actually a beginning.

One where we'll still have to try to be grown ups.
