Well, it's time for another post! Dun du du duh...about well, nothing much. I haven't posted because life doesn't really change all that much these days; go to work, go to piano lessons, go to sleep, etc. Some people say 'well, tell us the funny things that happen in your apartment, surely you can write about that!' Here goes, Mandy is doing an aerobic video as we speak. Her knee is crossed over her thigh and she is crouched, like she is sitting in an imaginary chair. Sarah is cooking, a rare thing in this household and Esther is walking out the door on her way to worship team practice. Kristie is at a wedding this weekend and after some bridesmaid dress trauma last night, she is off for a fun filled weekend in San Diego. There are the occasional funny stories but overall our lives are normal, a blessed thing indeed.

I went for a consultation at a local optometrist about getting the LASIK done. The thought of not having to wear glasses really excites me. No more dry eyes, no more annoying contact lenses!! I'm going to check out another doctor for another consultation, just to see if there are any differences and funny that this doctor is a customer of mine (grande non-fat latte). I'll keep you all updated with the progress.

Oh, so Mandy and I have a pact to cook more so send me your favorite recipes, thanks!

Sentimental?

Blogs truly are a great thing. I've been catching up on my blog reading here recently, reading people's comments and looking at pictures, and I've been struck by how quickly time is passing. Of all lessons I've learned over the past months its been that life truly is vapor short, some of ours are longer than others but none are long. This is a lesson that I don't think I'll ever stop learning on this earth as with each new change I'm reminded once again that I'm grown up now. When did it happen? I'm not sure, but you know its happened when you look back on a conversation in which an older person is telling you the probability of a situation panning out a certain way based on their own personal experiences and at the time you are so convinced, with utter certainty, that they are wrong, only years later to realize their words are ringing true. Some lessons take longer to learn than others I guess. I miss the simple childhood life back in NH when church was my life and sin was of little concern. It all seems like yesterday, all part of my vapor that is vanishing quickly. Who knows what lies ahead for all of us but I'm thankful that we can share it, though thousands of miles apart, through our blogs!
