A brief update
Haven't had much time for blogging lately. School started about a month ago and I'm driving to Grand Rapids twice a week for classes. So far I'm keeping up ok, had a few papers to write last week, but managed to get those and all my reading done on time. It's going very well, I'm loving being back in the classroom. That might sound a bit nuts, but so far I really like my classes and professors.
Life is extremely busy, hence my difficulty in finding a few minutes to update this thing. Between Kate and I, we are working several jobs and still figuring out how to take care of our son and have a little time with one another - and pay all the bills. So far so good, all ends are meeting where they should, and everything is getting done. It's just an adjustment time for us, trying to figure out this new life of always running from one thing to the next, working at a new church, trying new things.
Katie is starting up a new gymnastics program in Whitehall. It's not technically a new program, but she is kind of restarting it after the previous director left. That's a wonderful thing, because she is very good at it and it's an opportunity to do something that she loves.
We have fish. Now I'm not a big fan of fish, exactly. Unless you are going to have really expensive, exotic fish (which I have neither the time nor the patience for), what's the point really? But Aiden looked at all the fish at Meijer while mom was grocery shopping and asked Grandpa if he could have one. Grandpa says, "You'll have to ask mom." So Aiden asks mom who says, "If dad says it's ok."
So to a 3 year old, that's 2 yeses. He runs to me very excited, "DAD! Can I have a fish!?" So now we have a little 2 gallon aquarium with three goldfish in it. We asked Aiden to come up with names for them -- so congratulations Karla, Andi, and Carson. You are apparently three of Aiden's favorite people and now have goldfish named after you.
Valentine's day was last week. If you listened to WJQ, you might have heard my name on monday morning. They had a poem contest where you could submit short poems and if they read yours on the air you won flowers, a necklace, and dinner. So, with out limited funds this year I submitted a verse from the song I wrote for our wedding, and they read it on Monday! It was especially nice because I really wanted to do something for Katie, but we weren't really shopping for it this year. In case you heard it and wondered - yep, that was me.
Between school and work and family and all the obligations that go with them, life continues to be beautiful and a blur all at the same time.
