This day marks my 7 year wedding anniversary and also graduation from school forever (at least for now). Happy to be at both these points in my life I reflect on the past 7 years of marriage and 2 years of graduate coursework.
Did you know that most marriages end within 7 years(except in Hollywood where you're lucky to last more than 7 months)? In keeping with tradition we exchanged gifts, and for a 7 year anniversary the gifts are copper and wool. So my wife gave me some copper pipe and said this is to fix the kitchen sink and I gave her a wool sweater and told her to not turn on the heat in the winter anymore. Only kidding, but I couldn't resist. This humor though is reflective of what it takes to get to 7, 27, 47 years of marriage. In my young wisdom I have learned that life in general is a heck of a lot better when you laugh and find humor in situations.
As for school, that isn't very funny. I don't know why but 2 years ago I decided I like homework so much that I should do more of it...well not exactly. I wanted to teach at the collegiate level and now with my masters completed I begin to teach in fall at Concordia. I feel great and relieved to know I'm done and wondering what I am going to do with all my free time...perhaps its time to learn guitar from my little bro!!
