I was looking through my RSS feed today and I saw this blog. I had kind of forgotten about it. I think we all have. I'm actually not sure if anyone will even read this. But, I figured I would make a post and see what came of it.
I literally have no idea what I'm going to write about so, lets just see what comes out.
I've been thinking a lot lately about my teenage years. Wow, that makes me sound old doesn't it? I am about to be 25 next month and I'm going to be a dad 2 months from now. So, I guess I am actually becoming an adult. I feel weird knowing that I'm in this transitional period. Knowing that my life is going to change forever. It seems in the past when I went through transitions it was more gradual and some times you don't even realize it until you look back. But, here I am. Standing, looking at my life, knowing things will never be the same. Don't get me wrong. I don't wish it different. I'm just acknowledging the fact that in two months I will be responsible for a human life. That's pretty big. Really big. That's always been in the back of my mind.
Through the pregnancy a lot of the time you (and by you I mean "I") think about, you know babies. Little clothes, diapers, toys, all of the stuff that we're going to need when he gets here. There is a lot of planning to do, doctors to see, things to buy. All of this but, every once in a while you stop and think. This baby is going to grow up. It's my responsibility to raise him. I'm going to be this kid's dad. I'm going to be the one to teach this little kid to hammer a nail, how to talk to girls, change the oil in a car. I'll teach him how to fix things. Probably things that he broke. It's going to be a big job. It's pretty scary. But, I've got some good help. And I've got a good example. I think I can do it..........This is going to be awesome.
Well, that was a lot of rambling. Sorry. I hope you at least kind of enjoyed reading that. Hopefully next time my post will be more thought out and better structured.
