Two Years Later

You'll have to forgive me now. Although blogs of this nature are inherently personal, this post may over do it. Nevertheless, due to the fact that my nonexistent journal is, well, nonexistent, I've decided to utilize Taryn's blog to document a couple of thoughts regarding the end of our time in Boston. My apologies. -Ryan

Back in 2007 I thought I'd never forget how stunned and frightened I felt as I walked away from school with my first distribution of cases and readings. Taryn and I had no idea what the next two years would bring......




.....Ultimately, the workload proved challenging, sometimes overwhelming; nevertheless, as the days passed, each learning, each experience, and each friendship began to coalesce into what now represents our most cherished period of life.

Beyond school, Taryn and I grew closer as she found success and joy in a marvelous professional opportunity, as we both learned and felt love from each other and friends, and finally as we welcomed our marvelous, healthy, and happy son Everett into life.



We will miss Boston, but most of all we'll miss the environment of continual learning and ambition, the treasured friends we grew to love, and the beautiful surroundings we call home.

Taryn and I wish to thank each of those singular individuals that holistically shaped our lives (you know who you are). You will not be forgotten; your impact is now a part of who we are. Thank you.

In a previous post Taryn promised some pictures from graduation. I've picked a few personal images below in addition to a slideshow of classmates, family, and friends.

Everett steals the show!

Graduation dinner at the Harvard Club with family - gotta love that fondue!

Finally!

My whole heart, right there beside me. We'll keep at this journey, arm in arm (Cheesy, I know, but entirely accurate).

I love you sweetheart; I thank you for your love, friendship, advice, kisses, and endless support. You are life's exclamation! Here's to the years to come.
