My Life Has Changed

I knew it would.

But there's nothing that can prepare you for it.

Nothing is the same anymore. It's weird. And I'm forgetting what it was like. Who knew that in four short weeks... okay... like I said, I knew things would change.

It's for the better. And I'm excited. But it's different now. It's so unbelievably different.

It's 11:37pm on Monday evening... June 9, 2008. I'm a dad. That boy I'm holding is my son. Kim's a mom. We're parents.

It's all changed.

Nothing will ever be the same.

God must really believe in me... to trust me with such a magnificent creation.

You got that right! Our kids are 4 and 2 and we still look at them and say, "we cannot believe we are parents!" I hope that never changes because you don't want the wonder and the awe of God's creation to ever seem mundane - ever!
