Week 44 - The rainy season

Week 44 Picture

So it turns out, it does actually rain in Oregon. For the last three months we've enjoyed perfect weather with sunny skies, 70 degree temperatures, and a light breeze. That's all changed now. Now we get to experience our first Oregon winter for real.

That's about all I've got for you. A weather update. Things around here have been pretty uneventful. Our lives operate like clockwork in time with a heavily structured routine. That's what having a baby can do to you. Messing up the nap schedule in many cases just isn't worth it. A certain chain of events needs to unfold each night when I get home from work to make sure he's taken care of. It makes life remarkably predictable at times.

That being said, I'm very content. I love my job. I love my wife. I love my baby. I love my friends. I'm looking forward to the people that are coming to visit me soon. Things are really well situated for me out here in Corvallis. Life sometimes feels like it's in constant momentum. Always driving toward some big date or event. There's a certain kind of peace in my routine these days. There's really not a whole lot in my life that I can ask for.

I think it's good to take a moment to sit back and reflect sometimes on the lulls that can happen between the monumental moments. They get too easily lost and often forgotten. Someday, I'll look back on this lull from a moment of chaos and miss it.
