First week of June...

...1997 Bobby and I meet for the first time

...2001 We kind of start dating...sort of

...2003 We arrive in Urbana, IL

...2006 I defend my thesis

...2007 We bless our baby girl in church

...2008 We become the "senior student family" in our ward

Let me explain that last one. Our ward/church is largely composed of young families that move into the area for grad school. Now that the Palmers have moved to Ohio, Bobby and I are the student family that has been here the longest. But not really, because we're not students anymore, so it's a funny feeling.

This significant threshold, this momentous occasion, this strange rite of passage does not entirely apply to us. I'm a little sad about that, actually. I don't yet understand why.
