Last Normal Day?

Well, today may seem like any other day, but it really isn't. Today is Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Everyone woke up this morning and got ready for school. Korie went to Gildersleeve and Steve and Kristin to Denbigh Baptist. It was only a half day, so already the day is different.

But what really makes this day different from any others, is that is is our LAST normal day. Tomorrow, we will wake up and go to the same places one more time but family from Ohio will start arriving. So the four of us won't be alone again. Then, on Friday, Kristin will graduate and leave high school. Things won't be the same after that. Kris will be working this summer and leaving for Lynchburg in August, Steve will be going to DBCS alone and not coaching. Korie will be going to high school. We will have a new normal.

It won't be a bad normal, but it won't be what we have had for the past 13 years. So today was the last "normal" day. From here on out, life will be different..it will be new...it will be good...but it won't be today. Today is over in a few hours and as the sun goes down, so does this chapter in our lives. So, I am holding on tight and enjoying the weekend. Holding on to each moment and storing it somewhere so I can pull it out again and remember.......
