Women may get to give birth to babies, but men get to give birth to beards.
It's good to be a man.
Now I just have to work on the moustache.
Stay Gold!

Highlighting the Hirsute
I trimmed my beard down a lot last week, but not before taking this:

goodbye savings.
Marshall and I don't generally celebrate love day. We are firm believers the day is just another excuse for card companies, flower shops, etc. to bank a bunch of money. We choose to love each other everyday, right honey? :o) So, instead of spending $30 on flowers...we went crazy and said goodbye to our savings to put a down payment on this:
2003 Honda Civic Ex
No, the car isn't brand new - but I am praying we made the right decision (not much we can do now, right?). We both agree we didn't get the trade-in value for my car we were hoping for, even after negotiating, but we have learned, maybe next time we need to be even more firm and a bit pushy! I am going to miss my car more than I had initially realized. She has been so good to me over the years! Baby Kole - how are lives are already changing and you haven't even been born, yet?!
Speaking of Baby Kole - we had another appointment on Friday. The appointment looked much like previous appointments. I've gained a healthy amount of weight so far, my tummy appears to be expanding at an average rate, and all vitals (the baby's and mine) are great. The midwife was able to determine the baby was in a head down position by pressing on my lower abdomen. Marshall and I were curious and when we got home, we did the same. We could feel the baby's head if we put our hands in a specific location - so weird...but amazing too! Anyways, all good on the baby front. Baby Kole appears to have more clothes already than I do in my whole entire wardrobe (okay, maybe I am exaggerating...but still)! I go in Tuesday morning for another (standard) glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. Instead of having the standard baby appointment scheduled in four weeks, the appointment has been scheduled three weeks out. After that appointment, I will be seen every two weeks! AH! This means time is going by quickly - before we know it, Baby Kole will be here!
Not much else new. Work has picked up a bit, and I have been able to provide more direct service and assistance to afterschool programs, which I love! I am thankful God has provided this opportunity to serve and learn a vast amount, but I anxiously awaiting my departure!
That's it really. I hope everyone is well! Love and miss you all.

Picture Dump
Hey everyone, here are some pictures from the past month-and-a-half or so. Most of the drawing pictures are older. I just felt like sharing...
Mom doesn't like having her picture taken.
Snow so deep it buries a picnic table.
A view of the courtyard in front of our building after a snowfall.
Haircut.
Best baby outfit yet.
Jesus rode dinos like horses.
Mother and child drawing.
Blowin' minds like Eniwetok.
More stick figures.
Gypsy head tattoo design.
Live free or die tattoo design.
john Wilkes Booth.
Bird copied off of a painting by Anita.
5-minute sacred heart sketch done in church.
Stay Gold.

I Statements
I love my family, New Hampshire, my wife, and my God. Life is good right now despite the prevailing winds of doubt and disaster swirling about this place. I pray for continued blessings.
I've been drawing a bit recently.
I'm wearing a new hoodie that my Dad sent me for my birthday.
I have been to the gym everyday for the past six days. My goal is to make it there everyday for the rest of the month. I bench-pressed 220lbs twice last night.
I need to start reading some books about having babies. I probably don't just want to try and wing it once the thing gets here.
I will probably eat oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow. Maybe with cinnamon and sugar on top.
I enjoy David Letterman more now than I enjoy Jay Leno. This is a change of tastes for me.
I guess I don't really have a lot to say tonight.
