10 Month Recap


I don't even feel bad about not posting for so long. The last 10 months have been crammed with intense activity. For one, I am now a father of a beautiful baby girl.

Without question it was a total clusterfuck of a pregnancy but it ended well and for that I am eternally thankful. After months of hospital bed rest, my wife gave birth to Amelia Grace (6lbs 60z) and she has since been blowing my mind daily. Even though I know it is totally cliche to say that being a parent changes your life, and is incredibly awesome etc etc, I am still inclined to gush about it. I won't, but just know that I want to...

Another milestone would be the purchase of my new house. We spent just under 9 months in my mother's house (2 of which with an infant) and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. To be fair, any minor quibbles were seriously overshadowed by the aforementioned pregnancy, but still, my mother and wife behaved admirably. Our new house is much bigger than we expected and sits so close to the C&D Canal that I can watch boat traffic from my window. Big win.

Oh yeah, I got a new job too. My new school is brand new and filled with (for the most part) respectful and hard working students. I can't complain at all really.

So if you've been paying attention 1 out of my 2 main goals has been accomplished. Onwards to goal 2 and a boat for Amelia and me to sail!
