for crying out loud

i have not written anything here for so long i forgot i had this blog! alot has changed, and yet, everything remains the same. summer came, and went quickly this year due to attending summer school to finish my anatomy course. we were fortunate to begin summer with a trip to portland, and oregon's wine country. we pretty much stayed home during the summer, but finished it off with a road trip to thomasville, nc via my hometown of oak ridge, tennessee. we visited 7 states, and put things in perspective. and here we are, fall at hand, rain falling all day, hurricane ike moving towards the north, and tennessee winning their home opener! tina and i are trying to get pregnant, and God is moving in our lives to bring us a child. we found a new church, a new small group, and our lives are being challenged to accept the future without trying to control it. we are excited about the fall, the prospects of a new president, and of course the holidays! our second year here in chicagoland has been awesome, and we will be married three years this october! so many things to be thankful for, and to look forward to as well. tina's best friend is getting married in 09, nursing school completion is on the horizon, conception is becoming a real possibility, and maybe finally, bin laden's ass will be in a sling. let's roll pakistan!
anyway, God bless all of you! and just so you know, governor palin is right on!
