I haven't blogged in a while as I've been kind of down. And that hasn't changed much. Primarily due to the job situation. I have a wonderful wife, a great healthy baby, loving family, a few good friends, and a supportive church. I need to get a second job as we can't afford to continue on with my earning an assistant's salary. Prospects creep up occasionally, and nothing has panned out as yet. I am growing steadily more discouraged. Anywho...
Wishsong of Shannara by Terry Brooks
Loved it, loved it, loved it. This third installment is an epic tale of the descendants of the Ohmsfords and the Leahs, dragged into adventure by the enigmatic Druid Allanon to once again save the world. The supporting characters this go around are really engrossing--I especially liked Slanter, the Gnomish Hunter. While the quest is somewhat formulaic, it is a formula that works. This grand adventure ends the three book generational storyline in satisfying fashion. ****

Understandable.
How was the anniversary (from the husband's perspective)?
How's being a daddy going? (Honesty, now, this is a blog!)
Bought a mini mini giftie today with you in mind...I'll bring it at Homecoming (you can share it with Ellice, of course).
Kenneth can totally relate on the job issue. I think sometimes he feels so defeated--and between the two of us, he doesn't put nearly the energy into the hunt that you have. What you have to focus on is all of those great things you do have going for you right now. (I know, I know--easy to say, much harder to do.)You have more friends than you know, and they miss you! I wish I could be around more, to watch your beautiful baby girl growing up--it is going so fast! I love you all very much, and miss ya! tiffers
I love being a daddy. While I still don't quite have a handle on baby clothes-it usually takes about ten minutes to get her in something-I find I can handle most of the things she needs. Sometimes I just can't comfort her when she gets rattled. Most of the time I can though. The stuff that's been bumming me out is work. Homelife is good.
