I've been married 2 years!

For our second year anniversary, we had a little get away. It was awesome. Our cabin was very modern, and over looked a steep drop off to a river valley, nothing but trees, water, blue sky! No television led us to spend great quality time just hanging out. Did I mention perfect weather? We just sat in the rocking chairs staring out at God's creation for 5 straight hours. 2 years has gone by fast. We look forward to the future years together.

You know... people say the first year is the harest. Not true. It may be for some, but it all depends on life circumstances. Ours was a breeze. But year two was hard, just with the health issues. I guess most people I had married soon out of college and were in a transition in life, making it hard. We were both independent self-sustained individuals... not young "college kids".

Divorce then follows. The now single person starts looking for another source of happiness. The cycle repeats, as the broken and imperfect person seeks the wrong remedy. I do not mean to say that you

Forgetting the Obvious

Well, its been a while since I've written... busy busy busy... but tonight's call has given me moments of free time to relax, including a trip to starbuck's across the street, and with such beautiful weather, I'm so lucky. Now I sit, under flickering flourescents, listening to the shoegaze drone of "Bethany Curve" every bit as relaxing as a nice dose of zolpidem. what shall I muse on tonight? I've been thinking alot on mid-life crises. Who has them?  I think I'm the sort that would have one. Even at 27, I still find myself wondering, "Is this what I want my life to be like?" I don't envision a life full of work, with only moments of fellowship. This will be temporary. I am applying for ophthalmology again, though with less enthusiasm. In part, because no matter how much I struggle for something, the only way it will happen is if God's will includes it. Isn't that right? I struggled hard for ophtho once, and I didn't get i
