I‘ve been sitting here in my church office for the last two days trying to finish a paper for school, which is already almost two months overdue. My History prof is angry with me and my mind is drawing blanks. Well things could be worse. I could be living in Uganda trying to flee military service.
It‘s kind of hard to have to face up to the reality that I definitely loaded too much onto my plate last semester. Working one half-time job and another 8-hour a week job, while studying over full-time, was really stupid. I now know that I at least have to write two tests again and may have to write a third over as well.
But really...nothing can get me down right now. School is not all that my life is made up of anymore. I think if I were 18 it would be a much bigger deal for me. As much as I want to be done as quickly as possible, I know it wont kill me to have to go another semester longer than I thought. What has jon learned from the whole experience? Do less and enjoy life more. With the baby on the way that has really become my priority. I‘m never home, we never go on vacation and as a couple we hardly ever do anything romantic or such. I‘m only 26 and I sound like I‘ve missed out on all the good stuff.
That‘s my goal really. In spite of all there is to do, to take time to pause with my girl and sip a cappuccino in a shamelessly priced café in downtown Pforzheim, Germany, or in some other beautiful black forest village.
I didn‘t see Kristine today. She was out doing her Proverbs 31 duties. I believe she performs them well. At least when I drive into the city the mayor always waves. (Or maybe that‘s the blue smoke that comes from driving a Honda.;-) Na, but really. Kristine is still tutoring kids in english and german. She works hard for her money! So you better...
And on top of all that she made this roast today that is just...uh yeah baby! Proverbs 31 here I come. Enough BS. It tasted damn good! I really love that woman. I‘m amazed with her. Today she had her birthing course. She just told me that I get to come to the last three appointments! I‘m excited about that. Finally the heavy-breathing thing.
OK. Because too many people have been commenting on the last few blogs I am going to restrict access to commenting on this blog to all the fat people out there. OK. All the fat people. You know who you are, and I love you ya so come on out with it. Skinny good-looking people just shut your faces, you guys always get to talk!

We'll get the pictures of the most beautiful fat pregnant woman ever! Coming in the next post.
I am going to post here just because I'm skinny. So there! I can empathize with overbooking one's time. I am really glad to hear you two are doing well though! And that Kristine is keeping you well fed! :-) So much better than top ramen malnutrition (speaking of you at 18(ish)). I definitely agree with Michelle that we need more pictures though. Oh, and a random note, did you know that you share your IM screen name with a young girl from Ohio? You pop up as online and we get her instead. It is getting less confusing, as it has happened to several people at various times, and she is getting used to it. Anyway... Much love always! Drop me a line sometime!

Ben, I think it's great that you didn't let me scare you with my fat comment. Yeah, my wife is a great cook. You really need to get one. They pay off in the long run. ;-)
