It's Dark

Right now it's dark outside and while I'm mostly referring to the fact that it's nighttime I'm also referring to the fact that I can't see very far in my life right now. It's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just that for the past four years my life has been a series of events. These events have expectations. That means that I'm either experiencing the events like: getting married, graduating, having a baby, moving and starting my career or I'm anticipating these events. Now that these things have happened the beacons of my existence are smaller and harder to see. I think though that I need to keep looking where I'm going. I don't want to end up in the wrong place.

We aslo rearranged the room and added a crib, changing table and several other things to make the room look really nice. We put together the new stroller that Liz was given at her baby shower at work and put the new carseat stand that goes with the stroller in the truck: the vehicle that Liz will be using. Over the past several weeks we've made additional changes to both the inside and outside of the house. Liz painted our bathroom a bright light green. We raked up the leaves in the backyard (although more have fallen since) and we put in a true compost pile in the back right corner with wire fencing that Liz attached to some metal stakes. I also planted a red oak in the front yard to replace the maple tree we had cut down and I planted a photinia bush to close up the gap between o...
