Post- BIG events

It is funny how major events all seem to come at the same time.  As you already know (or don't), my wife and I gave birth to our first son (Evan Cipriani Scully) on May 31, 2011.  This was also the Tuesday following Memorial Day Weekend, and the 9th week out of my 10 week semester for my MBA, and the last semester of my MBA program.  So, this really means that I was learning how to be a father, taking care of my "hurt" wife, and trying to finish off the last two weeks of my MBA program.  Thankfully, I was able to get it all done, get some sleep and actually enjoy the first two weeks of my son's life.

I bring this up not because I want congratulations, but because no matter how hard we try to control when and how things happen, the further we are from how they will actually happen.  When I started my MBA program, I envisioned that by the time I was done I would have had multiple job offers, maybe a new job, maybe even selling software to Latin America (the underlying reason I wanted an MBA).  I never once imagined that I would be a father at almost the same exact time I was completing my MBA and looking back on it (two weeks ago), I wouldn't have it any other way.

So we can struggle to make things happen the way we envision them or we can let things happen sometimes and enjoy the one hell of a ride that comes with this journey called life!

JS!
