So technically it's not his first day of school, it's orientation this week and his first day isn't for a week, but he's gone at U of U and Scott and I are here at home. Things aren't that different for us here, he left a little earlier then he usually would leave for work and he wore a suit instead of his normal business casual clothes but things feel more different then that. I can feel that everything has changed for him. I can see him now with his new class mates, looking around at their weird faces as they eat and pick their noses, thinking, "are they going to like me?", "Oh man, why did I take my wife's advise, this shirt is lame, I should have worn a cool gray one", and "My teacher sucks, can I trade anyone teachers?"
It's weird thinking of Mark at school again. We both left that stage in life over two years ago. But I'm so proud of him for going back. He is taking a big chance with our future, well I guess for others it might be a big chance, for Mark it is almost set in stone that he will do great. I love my Mr. Man so much and I promise to have a snack pack ready for you next week for your real first day.
You're awesome Mark, Scott and I are so lucky to have you.
