Life.....
Life is one crazy experience that I don't think anyone will ever actually figure out. I feel like the stage of life I'm in right now is so flexible and changing that I can barely hang on. It seems like even the tiniest decisions that I make on a daily basis will have effects on the whole rest of my life. Right now I'm at the point in my schooling that I need to get done as soon as humanly possible, but I still have at least three years to go, and that's just for my undergrad. I watch my friends prepare to graduate and move off into, what seems like, will be their happily ever after... i.e good paying jobs, a permanent home, and solid direction at where the rest of their lives are going. Meanwhile Amelia and I are still trying to find out what the heck all of this is about. Some days I feel like changing my major at the drop of a hat and some days just the sheer weight of how much longer I have to go is very disheartening. While at the same time knowing that I'm not tied into anything is very liberating and exciting. Some times I wish I had a crystal ball and could just peak into the future and see how its all going to turn out, but at the same time the prospect of knowing how things turn out is the most frightening thing ever. I know I'm rambling, but I just feel like things are royally out of control right now.... that doesn't mean things are bad, they are just crazy!!!
One thing that I've found that helps is to have a few things life that are constant and unchanging to hold on to.
My amazing wife Amelia is probably the greatest of those things, she is always there for me, and I know she will support me in anything that I do, and I pray she feels the same about me. I know that no matter what I will always have her to turn to whether I need some advice, or some comfort, or just a good laugh, and she will always have the answer.

Another solid in my life is all of these people:
 |
| The McGuire Clan |
 |
| The Kolts Clan |
I have the two greatest families in the history of the world!!!!! no matter where I am there is always someone there willing to help at the drop of the hat and I would never be able to thank them enough for that.
Finally we have to take time to stop and smell the roses occasionally, and in my mind that includes some good old wholesome recreation. :)
