Another new year means a delayed update in the Patrick blog. I hope that all of you had a Merry Christmas and a spectacular New Year.
The reason for the picture is that we have had a lot of our married friends tell us recently that they are pregnant. This has caused several questions as to when Rachael and I will begin trying for a baby. The answer to the question is: Not yet. Should it happen, it wouldn't be a horrible thing and we would both be excited about it but right now we're still going to wait. If you have been married for any period of time you know the questions that are most frequently asked: How's married life?...and...When are you guys planning to have a baby?...
We had a very relaxing break but it will be good to get back into class and a weekly routine that isn't full of parties with all sorts of baked goods and treats that make you feel instantly guilty after eating them.
We spent Christmas Eve with my Dad and Christmas Day at the Robbinses house. We had planned to drive to California to visit my Mom and Doug for a few days but the weather scared us away. Now that they are in Cali it is a lot easier for us to get out there to see them. We'll probably be headed that way over spring break.
Things at the church are going great. We are getting geared up for our new pastor to start in February and in the meantime Robert Marshall has been challenging us and encouraging us in a huge way. It will be sad when he is no longer preaching every week but I asked he and his wife Donna to mentor Rachael and I and they agreed. We'll still be seeing a lot of them and their family which is all right with me.
So kind of a boring post but hopefully this snowball fight video that I made on jibjab.com makes you laugh a little bit. Until next time...
