Summer

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Well, another summer has passed in a complete blur and the leaves are just about to change once again.

It’s hard to imagine all that’s happened in such a short few months, but this summer for me has been as action packed as all the others.

My new job at Rove has worked out pretty good so far. I’ve made some good friends through it (actual not-just-co-worker friends) and its pretty nice. Most of my close buddies are back in Edmonton. So as my friendships back home fade I’m finding “replacements” so to speak.

Renata took a few weeks of vacation, so it gave me a chane to live the single male lifestyle for a short bit. You know, the one devoid of chores, a regular sleeping pattern, and whole meals. Binging on video games and take out was great again, but for my own sake it’s good that it only lasted as long as it did.

With that, I’d like to share the news that I’ll be a dad come January if all goes well as planned. Renata’s trip without me was something she needed to ease her pregnancy. Seeing as I’ll need to save mu vacation time for when the little one arrives, it didn’t make sense for me to go with her. Not everyone gets excessive vacation days like civil servants. Yes, I am jealous.

Things this summer have been different with this news. Instead of wandering in some remote trails in the rockies, we decided to play it safe and stay home. It’s not like we’ve had a choice; Renata’s pregnancy has been pretty rough. Her hyper-nausea had her throwing up 5 to 6 times a day. Now in her second trimester she seems to be doing better, and hopefully it continues to ease off.

As un-adventurous as this summer has been, it’s been pretty enjoyable still. At least I know that by the next one, a whole different adventure of sorts should unfold.
