This blog is going to be on pause for a while.  While I very much enjoyed keeping up with it on a frequent basis, I discovered some of the content was being seen and used by others for purposes other than its original intent. As such, I am building a more secure, private blogging platform so that I can safely share our life events with the people we want to share them with, while maintaing a comfortable level of privacy.

In the meantime, please feel free to send me a message or friend request on Facebook, where I will be posting in the interim.

Today, I was having lunch with some colleagues at PF Chang’s in Bellevue. At the end of the meal, the check came, and I picked a fortune cookie out of the pile of the six or so. It said:

“Remember three months from this date. Good things are in store for you.”

Three months from this date just happens to be my wife’s due date.

Life is beautiful.
