There has been a decidingly large lack of posting on my part and I must make amends. I tend to keep my insanities and eccentricities to myself (at least I try) but as my wife dearly put it "Blogging is so much more personal (than the almighty facebook), you can see how your friends think about so many things!" So everyone prepare for a dose of the ol' Ross's thoughts.
Lately I've been worried, as most husbands (we are people too) can relate, worried about the rent, the bills, my research, my schoolwork, how my school work effects my future (tee-hee-hee language friends!), where am I going to be able to go to graduate school, can I get in, will my wife hate me forever for working too much, what about that irking computer problem I haven't fixed yet, that program I need to write, that piece of code that needs to be fixed, those people I have to help etc.
However, my constant worrying has been finally dissuaded by a healthy dose of what I like to call the "anvil from heaven" IE inspiration. My brother's use the "anvil" terminology in quite a different way, but that's another story for another time, and its affect is the same; silencing the opposition. I've been pondering and asking God for a while and amazingly he answers, I just need to remember that we are all in his hands and that if I keep listening to the spirit I will be happy, and that is what matters.
Story time:
When I was single (oh so long ago, as in 365 + 11 days ago) I worked really hard towards applying for medical school. I tried to double major in Business and Biology, pretty taxing, and was usually stressed out and running for my life. The one constant thought that sustained me through that nightmare was that I knew what I was doing was the right thing, at that time. Even when chaos whirled around me and I did not know what the future was I was still able to be at peace. During this bout of insanity I was hit with another anvil from heaven and that anvil told me to stop what I was doing and wait. That anvil hit April of 2007 when I was deciding to go to Baltimore on a NIH research internship. I listened to that anvil then by staying in Provo and met Megan, my dearest friend and fondest companion with which I share a deep soul to soul love that is eternal ... sorry got carried away, but I love my wife a lot. So fast-forward a year now and you'll catch brief glimpses on your screen of tense moments but for the most part you'll see two happy, plucky, and content people working and going to school.
Thank the heavens for those moments where the wisdom of God stops us in our tracks and bestows a great peace. Story time over.
Update on Life:
Life is so much fun! Last weekend Megan and I went to a condo in Park City (Thanks Suz/Andy!) for a few days and had a spectacular time. Megan dueled me in scrabble (she was close, but in the end close is just 2nd place). We went hiking, watched T.V. (!?!?), watched Stardust X2, read books and enjoyed each others company. Now we are back to the "grind" working and school. Megan is doing a classy job keeping it together at work now she's working 8am on (I'm the one that is half-awake when she says goodbye for the day, slacker!). My brother Scott, 21, single, looking, and is sooo cool & I would love to set up on dates *wink* *wink*. He's smarter, better looking (if that's possible) than me, and even a greater all-around guy than I am. Seriously, he is, just ask him and he'll tell you the 20 different ways he is better than me. Scott just moved in with us for the next 2 weeks while he sorts out his housing situation. Hence why i want him out of the house on dates so I can have some peace and quiet with my Wife, darn KIDS! Thanks all our friends for being there for both Megan and I, we've felt the love and we appreciate it.
