Hello world!
May 24th, 2007 will be the day that Angie and myself anticipate life will be changing for the better… forever. Not as if that hasn’t already happened of course. Na, life’s alright by my account. I remember the day she told me and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. Two simple words never meant so much… as with any expectant dad. At any point in my past, the idea of fatherhood simply was not conceivable. The most it seemed I was capable of then, was brushing my teeth and getting on a bike. Now however, I’m all about planning and indeed, I’ve had a few sleepless nights in anticipation. Like my brother said; people can tell you all about how to prepare, but until you’re a parent, you wont know shit. We think we have good odds on being that happy family of our minds eyes and so we”re going for it and we’re excited for the challenge. No doubt, we’re jumping in head first into what many would, and will, shake their heads at but we’ve decided to forgo any outside opinion and make this a good thing and nothing but. We know it will be hard work and we hope it’’s a girl. I like the name Estelle.
For now, we’re just nailing down plans for the big change happening in 6 more months. Most likely, we’ll move to Phoenix (the last place we’d prefer to be) to live for the first two years of the little ones life. Although I look forward to seeing old friends from there more often, we still know it’s less than ideal for us. From there, we will try like hell to get out before it has any effect on the kid… or us. I can only hope that we stick to that. Tucson seems like a good option. We like AZ, but there’s a lot of time between that, and the present.
With that, onespeeder is back with a fresh new coat of single-speed paint and nothing could be better than to be exactly where I most likely need to be- getting ready for fatherhood. I look forward to the ride, to this, and to whatever else floats on by.
Dig it.
