Looking Up

Currently, I am feeling rather content with myself.

• Downstairs, there are BBQ ribs slowly cooking and tenderizing in the crockpot, releasing a wonderfully spicy smell.

• My legs and butt are giving off small, painful protestations about how they have spent the last two days at the gym every time I sit down or climb stairs.

• AG has been home for almost two weeks now, and it is starting to feel more like our life rather than my life.

• A white envelope arrived in the mail two days ago, and... I PASSED MY BOARD EXAM!

Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of things to worry about... the wedding planning I have been dodging lately, oral board exams now that the written component is finished, and a project that I can only refer to as: The 3rd Bedroom, and all of its messiness. But for now, I am enjoying the moment.
