Second Graduation

Today is the last day of medical school for my dear husband, and tomorrow is graduation. We made it! What a wonderful ending to a long eight years of education. I really can't complain. We live a nice life. That's the norm for us, though. Joshua likes to say that he's the luckiest guy in the world, and I must agree. More often than not, things just work out. Here's an example from just this afternoon.

So, my husband decides he wants to start buying razor blades at Sam's because they're so much cheaper. Okay, Sam's doesn't sell blades for his current razor, so he'll need to buy the stick and the blades to begin with. Then, on to bulk-buying savings for the rest of his life. This decision was made yesterday, as he threw away his last blade to his current razor. Today after lunch we make a fast trip to Sam's to buy razors, because of course he needs to shave before the pre-graduation reception tonight. We pull into a busy Sam's, get the best parking spot in the lot, and dash inside. This is when a very unlucky problem occurs. Sam's sells lots of razor blades at great pricea, but no single razor sticks. So, I'm pessimistically thinking, great, now we need to go to another store. Bummer. Oh, wait, Joshua is about to get lucky, as is the norm. We're walking toward the registers when an employee at a table offers Joshua a free disposable razor. It's sample time at Sam's, and Joshua just got what he needed most at that moment. Joshua just smiled and thought again about how lucky he is.

You must be thinking that it would be hard to not be jealous of such a lucky person. It's not a problem really. I'm quite a lucky gal myself. No complaints here.
