Today is son Isaac's birthday. 35 years old. I don't know if I ever realized before today that I am 25 years older than him, and my mom is 25 years older than me.
He and Ricci are presently getting ready to move from Atlanta, Georgia to Minneapolis, Minnesota in the next month. They have lived there 9 years and it's the longest he has lived anywhere.
They moved to Atlanta so Isaac could get his Master of Divinity degree, then stayed for his Doctorate at Emory University/Candler. Ricci has taught and been administrator at a private k-8 school that utilizes a holistic approach to education the whole time.
Now that he's a full-fledged doctor, Isaac will be working under a 2-year post-doc fellowship through the Louisville Institute as a professor at Luther Seminary in St. Paul. She has secured a job as an English teacher at a Catholic middle school.
It should be a fun and exciting summer for the two of them and their dogs Crosby and Tig. While we do wish they were moving closer to us, we look forward to having a new place to visit (and honestly won't really miss Atlanta ourselves). :)
We are very proud of both of them for having a dream and seeing it through. Also just for sticking with what they do. They're good people who deeply care about the world and its inhabitants. We wish them nothing but the best.
