We finally, 10 hours later, landed at JFK airport.

Exhausted, cramped, tired, and starving, we made our way off the plane for a four hour layover, yes four.

All of us went in different directions to look for food.

Finally, I spotted a wing place that we were all familiar with and I quickly grabbed a table.

I plopped down, surely I was a sight for sore eyes. Hair greasy, clothes wrinkled, not a stitch of makeup, and more than likely a few drool stains on my cheek from the nap on the plane.

Joseph and Presley,

You will get a lot of advice as you graduate. Some things you will hold onto, some you will forget.

As you end one chapter and begin another, I have some things for you to think on, ponder, and decide if you want to implement them.

Many of these things, I did not figure out until much later in life. If you can figure some of these out now, you will be much wiser for it!

For the last couple of weeks, I wake up every morning with a to do list a mile long.

Downing my coffee, petting my dog, and then off to a running start of errands to complete, the day gets started with a bang.

Two kids graduating within two weeks apart, grad parties to attend, cards to send, and all the things that the month of May brings.

I have notes written everywhere. In my phone notes, on the kitchen counter, in my prayer journal…all places.
