Living the Transient Life

I realize life, in and of itself, is in constant transition.  Still, right now, it feels like transitions occur more often.  Tonight, we encountered another transition.  This scene has played out each year we've been in Law School.  Let me set it up:

Act 1:  Meet new friends.

Act 2:  Get to know new friends.

Act 3:  Become better friends, even dear friends.

Act 4:  Either us or our Friends go to or graduate from school.

Act 5:  We or Friends move.

That is the transient life and this post is dedicated to this part of our life.  There are several favorite memories.  The following picture of two happy little girls ranks high among the favorites:

The preceding picture was taken after some dance time, block time and pink pony watching time, but before ...

Princess dress-up time.

Then there was camera time:

And friends at the zoo time:

There's also adventure time:

The hardest time, at least for parents, is goodbye friend time (even at midnight):

Transitions offer new opportunities to meet new friends and miss old one's.  We're so glad we got to meet such great game playing, Big Bang Theory Watching, food loving, dessert making, fun-loving friends.  Thank you Jos, David, "Benda" and Alice!  We will miss you.

I guess meeting new people and enlarging one's circle of friends is what makes life livable.  So here's to the transient life and the fact that in a few days, we get to live Act 5 again.
