Fate + Destiny + Jimmy = Chaos

I don't know where I will go with this one. Some information and specifics have been left out to protect the possibly innocent. What is known is that March 20, 2008 is "match day" for Jenny's med school class. This is the draft for doctors to-be. On this day we will sit in a big room and open an envelope that tells us our destiny in big bold letters most likely written in Helvetica font. In short, the wick will be lit and this little bottle rocket is going zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz boom and where we land nobody knows.

Let me get you caught up to my present location.

TIMELINE
1979-1985: Lived in New York.
1985-1993: Lived in New Jersey.
1994-1995: Lived in Florida.
1995-1998: Lived in Oklahoma.
1998-2002: Went to Purdue. Learned some stuff and had some fun. Played some ultimate frisbee.
2002: Graduated
somehow. Ran away to Colorado to tempt disaster for a summer. Headed back to Tulsa to figure out what to do with life.
2003: Ran away to Georgia to have some fun. Fell in love. Ran away to Europe because it was there.
2003-2004: Working in Oklahoma not with my Jenny
2005-present: Working and playing with Jenny in Minneapolis, MN

So let's say I've been around the block and am overwhelmingly excited about what the fates have in store for me and my family (Jenny and Skidaway).

I have always loved change and adventure. I hope to love this one too. I'll go into more depth about this after match day. This was just a preemptive post.

I am also extremely proud of Jenny for having made it through this whole med school process.

You are the Jimmy, the only Jimmy, you make me happy when you climb up walls indoors that are not climbing walls.

You will never know jenny how much we all love the jimmy. but you can take the jimmy anywhere because he is really your jimmy :(

Okay i am thinking do i post this or not, but hey the song is catchy and well Regardless of where you end up i know those people will be lucky and those who do not get the pair of you both will be very sad :(

I'm jealous of your life timeline...it implies to me that you've seen and experienced a lot...which, for me, is awesomely admirable.
