The law student had her composite pics made recently for law school graduation in the spring. Of the five, this was my favorite. Those are my granny Doris' dimples right there. It's hard to believe she's one semester away from wrapping up this last chapter of her education. At the end of her internship this summer, she took the MPRE and passed it. This is a professional responsibility/ethics exam required for everyone who wants to be licensed to practice law in Texas. After graduation, that just leaves her to clear the hurdle of the Texas bar exam in late July. Then she'll start her "big girl" job with a Dallas law firm in September.
At the opposite end of the work spectrum is my husband. It was recently announced that he'll be retiring on January 1. He had been thinking about retiring before 60, and decided this spring to pull the ripcord by the time the calendar rolled over to January once again. After 27 years with the same company, where he had an amazing career climbing the corporate ladder, he'll be happily handing over the reins to his successor and will ride off into the sunset to enjoy his golden years. I couldn't be more proud OR happy for him. God blessed my husband with some amazing co-workers who became mentors and good friends along the way. The Lord's financial blessings via the husband's job allowed us to educate our girls through advanced degrees, as well as help some family and friends get their kids through college. It also helped fund a few weddings, too. So we are immensely grateful for God's provision through that season of life. Now it's time to turn the page and see what the Good Lord has in store for us next.
