Seven Years



Another snow day for my kiddos today! Today makes their weekend a four day weekend and they’re ecstatic. I can’t blame them; if I remember correctly, for kids snow days are the best :)! Me in the other hand, had to get up early and come to work *sigh*.  

After arriving at work I was sitting on my desk sort of complaining to my coworker about how Worcester has it all backwards, cancelling school when the roads are clean and having school on the worse days, when the conversation sort of drifted towards graduations…

Co-worker: “Well at least you won’t have to deal with that after they graduate!”

Me: “Yup, I’ll be able to relax in like seven years up the road!”

My brain: No kidding!

And then it dawned on me that there was some truth in that statement! To make sure my brain wasn’t playing any tricks on me I decided to come up with a timeline. Here it is…

2017 – Abdiel & Adrian’s 8th Grade Graduation
2018 – Jovan’s High School Graduation
2019 – Julissa’s 8th Grade Graduation
2020 – Julissa’s Quince
          Our 20th Wedding Anniversary
2021 – Abdiel & Adrian’s HS Graduation
2022 – Jovan’s College Graduation
2023 – Julissa’s High School Graduation

WOAH!…it looks like Kiki and I will need a side gig just to cover the costs of life’s biggest milestones lol! But really though, the diaper era has nothing on our future budget! ;)

BRING ON the next seven years and beyond! We're not ready but we'll make 'em happen!
