I just received word that the check has been cashed and my license might be arriving soon!!
I'm so excited and proud of myself! Now if I can just get through binding authority I'll be set!

Passing it on...
I swear I don't know where she gets this!
"Emma you are the sine (shine) in my eye. Love Julia, big big sis
"anna I love you and so I can live with you until I'm 27 or forty. Big sister Julia"
and written below that is:
"Poppa, I want you to come as soon as summer starts. Julia PS Love you"
Ok Mom, don't get too jealous, she wrote to you too...
"Memaw you are the grandmoter of my deams. Julia"
Now... Once again mom, don't get to excited about that... see the bottom of the next box side...
"Mom, I love you so much that I don't want to leave you. Julia"
"Callaway, Cat of my drems. Ps I love you. Julia"
Last but not least: "Troper. I know your dead but we still love you. Your frend. Julia & Anna & Emma. PS Mommy & Daddy PS We love you"
The cute part is, she said to me, "Don't mind the spelling, I was too busy to be careful"
Too bad Apple Juice boxes don't come with spell check.
Keep on chugging along...
Along the lines of this self indulgence, this writing, this small part of it that I'm sharing here, I have been stuck in my head.
I've had this happen many times in my life, where I have a series of revelations, epiphanies if you will, where I see things so differently. Then, I get lost.
How do you translate these new found thoughts, understandings, beliefs into your every day life. The place where every one knows you as the person you were. The person you were two days ago. The person you are no longer.
It seems difficult to believe that you can feel so different with no real series of events to lead you. When something tragic or surprising happens in ones life, people expect some form of change. What happens if it just occurs organically?
I think that's where I have found myself. I think of all that has happened in the last 4 years and I'm a completely different person. I have different friends, I left the desert for the ocean, I have 2 more kids, I rent a townhouse, I have one pet. Those things are tangible though. They are evident. The inner turmoil and progression has been mind numbingly slow and scarily swift at the same time.
What runs through my head today is "I am not worried - I am not overly concerned, with the status of my emotions. Oh, she says, were changing. But were always changing" from one of my favorite Counting Crows song.
