Settled... at last.

Ok... I most sincerely apologize for the massive gap and delay in posting anything for far too long. I have many excuses, some of which I feel are really good... and some of which... well... you know...

So what have we been up to out here after all this time?

I've had my hands full with school and just managing life in general. Moving from the Canyon place over to here has been a logistical juggle at best.

As far as school is concerned, I have been writing and researching like a madman. I have a really interesting research paper that I compiled on the 2nd Amendment that I feel ties in some fresh ideas on the issue to some old historical situations. Did you realize that many people believe that we fought the American revolution because of taxation from England? I know that was the conclusion I was 'taught' back in school. However, I have to now disagree altogether and would now say that taxation was more of a footnote to why the war actually happened to begin with. No one fired shots in anger over taxes... sure, some tea got dumped overboard... but that wasn't what it was all about. If you want to know more, email me. I'd be glad to send you my research.

Our daily life has been filed up with packing and unpacking... shopping for this and that... getting a list together for this and that... and doing a lot of 'taking it easy.' Now that the new furniture is here, 'taking it easy' should become even easier. ;)

P's belly continues to grow. She now marvels at how her belly-button has all but flattened out across her tummy. Jory is very active, and she moves around all the time now. You can see P's belly twitch and jump from here to there as Jory does flips and rolls and jabs. We play music for her and talk to her a lot. Pregnancy is a wonderful experience. Never in all my life had I ever contemplated how it might be... Every small moment is another wonderful new experience for us both. Our only sadness or regret is being so far from all our family and our friends scattered all over... Being with you all would only add more joy and meaning to this time in our life. We miss you all. Dearly.
