been a while

It has been over a month since my last post...amazing how time flies.

Life has been busy, but good. Here is a quick update:

1) My final year of residency is bittersweet as having more seniority means that I have a more administrative role instead of being in the trenches doing more of the labor, but on the flip side having more responsibility has its own challenges.

2) This past month Bekah and I went to Kansas two weekends in a row for weddings. The first weekend we flew and besides both flights being delayed at least 1.5 hour, Titus did really well. The second weekend we drove and I am thankful that I no longer drive to Kansas on a semi-regular basis. Still, going back to Kansas State was full of memories and surprises as the campus has changed quite a bit.

3) We also went on a weekend vacation with Bekah's family to Amish Acres. I am impressed at the Amish as they really seem to be pretty happy with their "simple" lives and they are all in great shape from biking all over the place. While I am not going to convert to Amish (although eating their food was a big pull) there is a lot to learn about their lives.

4) Speaking of food, the other day Bekah and I had a Chicago dog with a milkshake. That is the simple things in life that are so great.

5) I continue to train for the Chicago triathlon and I am amazed at how hard it is to swim. I thought that I was in shape until I tried to swim 1/2-mile using totally different muscles than running or biking.

6) Titus continues to grow at an amazing rate, is eating cereal, loves to be outside, is rolling all over the place, and has impressive bowel movements that will take the hair off of animals. I am simply amazed of God's creative abilities to think of the difference of Titus from birth to now.

7) The weather in Chicago is hot followed by muggy. I now long for winter...similar to when I was longing for summer during winter.

Here is a pic of Titus and I will try to keep up the blog more.
