season of transition

probably somewhere in the world it's always a period of change for a bunch of people. that season of transition seems to be visiting upon us now, so i guess it's our turn again.

we're in the process of preparing to move again (i know, no one's surprised... after all, it's what we do), of getting our debt eradicated... friends are taking steps to get life and finances under control... there's new life to hold... jobs it's time to leave behind... life together to begin... and everything is in flux.

when it all whirls around me, i remember that nothing is certain. that the thing i want most to grasp is certainty, predictability and the comfort it offers... and yet (our constant moving can attest to) we (or at least i) can only stand things being constant so long before i need change in my life, a fresh start, a clean slate. whether it's all good or all bad i really can't say, but the unknown is a mix of being both scary and thrilling.

we stopped for ice cream on our way back through rockford...













...and lisa made a new friend!











tonight at church troy otte contemplated a dare to eat the remaining black beans from our qdoba buffet... but $30 just wasn't enough to make it worth it, and he backed out.






my tummy hurt or i would have been all over that.
