Boycotting Paragraphs

I really hope that nobody reads this blog. I really don't have anything important to say. Right now, my life is pretty boring. Boring isn't necessarily bad though. I am happy. I'm enjoying life. I live in a great house that Lindsey and I both love. We have jobs that pay our bills. We are provided for. Most of the time we don't have too much worry. And if we do have some worry it doesn't last very long. Sure, we have plenty of problems... But there's so much in life to be thankful for. There's mewithoutYou screaming in French. There's every album MxPx ever released. There are people who show love to other humans. I want to be one of those who are selfless. There is the wilderness, creation. I love going into the mountains and loosing cell phone reception. You are forced to respect everything about the wilderness. Wow, my thoughts are so scattered. Maybe it's because I forgot to eat breakfast and I drank extra strong iced coffee. I'm a bit jittery. Or maybe that's just the way I am. Sometimes I wish I could focus. Sometimes I wish I were smarter. I think intelligence is the just the ability to sort out and remember your thoughts. I know there's probably more to intelligence... But that's just an observation of mine. I know it's hard for me to remember everything I read on a page. I hate that. I wish I could know more about what I'm reading. Sometimes Lindsey and I will read a page from the Bible then we'll talk about it. I'm embarrassed. Sometimes I have to let her go first because I don't remember a lot of it. I hate taking tests too. That's probably why I'm incredibly average. It's alright. Live goes on. Lindsey loves me. That's the best feeling in the world. Sometimes we disagree. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter because we love each other. And we going to have a baby together. That might be the most exciting and most scary reality. We just want to be good parents. We want our baby to be healthy. Today I'm boycotting paragraphs. This is just one blob of random thoughts. I hope nobody reads this, cause then people can see how I think. I just like to keep a history--for myself and now for my child. (If there are errors in this then I'm sorry. I don't feel like proofreading this.)

Optimism

It's going to be a bright, bright, bright, sunshiny day! That song is pretty cheesy, but I love the guys (Jimmy Cliff's) optimism! Our lives are overwhelmed with such stupid problems. Everyone, including me, was upset about stupid Facebook and how they made a change. That's not important!

Tomorrow is the first day of autumn! I'm excited about that because this summer was really disappointing. We hardly had any monsoons to speak of and it was incredibly hot. Come to think of it spring wasn't very great either. It was extremely windy! I'm going to have some of Jimmy Cliff's optimism and say it's going to be a cold, snowy winter. That would make me happy.

Weeks Go On: Week #38, Day #262

I'm just floating through life... My weeks are identical to each other. Sunday I go to church an hour early to rehearse my guitar skills. Sunday night I watch some Netflix with Lindsey, most of the time Destination Truth. Monday I get up bright and early around 6:15am to let Diego out to potty, then I feed him and Floofy. Then I go to work. Same routine five days in a row. But there's a kink in my weekly routine on Wednesday when I have to rehearse my guitar skills again. I need some variation! I always want to go hike, or camp. I want to go out to dinner if our budget will allow, sometimes even when our budget doesn't allow.

This little life that is growing in Lindsey's tummy might be the best thing ever to happen to us. I know it's going to change this routine in a big way. I know it's going to be hard to be a parent, and I know it's going to be a challenge. Am I scared? Heck no! I'm more excited about this than anything I've ever been excited about! 

Some things in life aren't working out perfectly. I don't have as much financial wiggle room as I would like. But that's just fine. I have all I need. The iPad can wait, they're probably working on the next three generations now anyway. My iPad will always be obsolete. I don't want to be a poser anyway, and if I have an iPad then I'll definitely be a huge poser. Life is good though. I'd like to do more! Lindsey deserves the best husband ever. She deserves a man that cares about her every needs, a husband that listens and that is in tune with her. I want to understand her more. The lazy nights on the couch watching Netflix are great, but there is so much more. We are blessed beyond we could have ever imagined. I hope we can be a bright spot in other people's lives too.
