It's 7:30 PM on a Saturday night, and I'm watching the Three Stooges. I love the Stooges. Before I met Sarah, watching old TV on Saturday nights would be a regular thing for me to do. She's at her mom's now, working on some things for the wedding shower.
And that's what is prompting this blog posting. A year ago, watching the Stooges was just another habit I had. A routine for the weekend, usually after a day of building the set for the show or doing yardwork. But oh how much can happen in the course of one year. A year ago I had only begun dating Sarah, and at about this time I was thinking that maybe, just maybe, she was the one for me. As I write this I am less than three months (84 days to be exact) from walking down the aisle and taking her as my wife. The planning is done, and the shower is November 1. But it's starting to feel real now, and though I'm enjoying the day and evening by myself, it makes me realize how much I love having her around. And no, Sarah, I don't just keep you around to cook for me; that's just an added bonus!
Just as exciting is the fact that in just over a month (or earlier if God wills it!), I will be an uncle. My sister told us she was pregnant in March, but I am amazed at how quickly the time has gone by. I'm just excited to be an uncle! Hopefully all will go well in these final weeks and God will bless us with a healthy child! Don't ask what the sex of the baby is, though, because they don't know. Stephanie and Jay elected to be surprised, so everything they are doing for the baby is done with this in mind. So in addition to the excitement of a baby in general is the excitement of not knowing what kind of baby they will have!
This new arrival, in addition to my mom's wedding and my own coming up, have really made this year exciting! I am starting to get sad for it to end!
