The Transition Years

We Feth's are living in what I'd like to formally call The Transition Years. 

It's kind of like The Wonder Years but without all the braces and awkward first kisses....

This chapter of our life follows The Dating Years which began with our marriage and will end roughly around summer of this year (give or take a month).

You see when the Feth and I became one, I had a good idea (after 9 years of courtship) of what I was getting into: fun / adventure / deep intellectual conversations / stuff like that

Well what I didn't know was that we Feth's would become quite the world travelers and consumers of all things change. We have truly lived by the mantra: the only constant is change. 

These Years of Transition have included a wedding in Napa / apartment in San Francisco / a year in Africa / return to San Francisco / move to Tiburon 

And soon we will be closing out this treatise with our next big change-agent =

 business school 

B-school Brian has been a busy pre-bee-schooler these past 6 months, what with all the GMAT studying & essay writing & interviewing. 

I've happily been on the support staff - acting as editor in chief and all things 

GSD (that's Get Sh_ _ Done - we're all adults here so you can fill in the blanks) 

Yesterday was the grand finale of interviews, culminating with HBS; a climactic conclusion to an intensive, soul-searching process and rightfully so. 

Whatever the outcome may be (and we'll know around the end of the month) it has been arduous, tedious, strenuous, and any other -ous ending words you can think of! 

But fantastically worth every brain teasing moment. 

For both of us this chapter will end on a positive note, highlighting the fact that there is so much to do and so many things we can be in this grand old world of ours. But our time is limited, so we must maximize what has been given to us so we can give to others and truly make a difference.

They (and I'm not clear on exactly who 'they' are but just roll with it) say that successful people are the ones that don't give up after failing, because let's face it we all fail but it's what we do after we fail that makes us great. 

So here's to a future of failure and success and to nearing the end of 

The Transition Years

It's been a sweet ride 

What will be the premise for our next chapter?

Here are a few thoughts: 

- The Puppy Years

- The Beardless Years

- The Baby Years (that one's for you mom!)

- The We're as Broke as Grad Students Years

- The I Wish We Could Afford a New iPhone Years

- The Remember The Transition Years...
