Though there are plenty of other things that I could talk about with their only being 36 days left until our due date… I wanted to take some time to say something about my amazing wife.  One thing that holds true is that through love, marriage, and loving God, there WILL still be storms.  I have been fortunate enough to have an awesome companion to weather them with.  One thing that we both seem to realize is that when one of us is stressed, tired, worn out, depressed, exhausted or any of the host of ‘good times’ that we all go through as people from time to time, the other tends to pick up the slack and hold the sails true.  So, in honor of there being 36 amazing says left before we face this storm… this perfect and beautiful storm… I want to dedicate William Shakespeare’s 36^th Sonnet to my love, my lady and my wife (which you can read her blog at waiting4rufus.tumblr.com).

“Let me confess that we two must be twain,
Although our undivided loves are one:
So shall those blots that do with me remain
Without thy help by me be borne alone.
In our two loves there is but one respect,
Though in our lives a separable spite,
Which though it alter not love’s sole effect,
Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love’s delight.
I may not evermore acknowledge thee,
Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame,
Nor thou with public kindness honour me,
Unless thou take that honour from thy name:
   But do not so; I love thee in such sort
   As, thou being mine, mine is thy good report.”

I AM GOING TO BE A DAD, I am scared out of my mind, and real men show their undying love in public ways… after all…. She is worth it.
