“Life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around once and a while, you could miss it!” –Ferris Buller
It has been a couple of weeks since we moved all of the furniture out of one of our spare bedrooms, which is now our nursery. The nursery has been empty, for about three weeks, all except for some baby clothes in the closet, a vintage, antique dresser that was my great aunt Lillian’s and about 40 pieces of white computer paper taped together to show where the baby furniture is to be placed. However, this week we have gotten the baby furniture delivered, thanks to the coolest father-in-law a guy could have. Bill, Laura’s dad, picked up our baby furniture and drove it all the way to
It is amazing, we don’t even have photos from our wedding yet, but we have all this baby stuff!
Our next goal is to gain some storage in our home… one thing is for sure… if we don’t I may go a little crazy!
The other day Laura and I were riding in the car discussing what we were gonna do on our upcoming trip to Disney World.
“We need to make sure we put the deposit down on the ‘citi-mini’ at USA Baby.” I said
The citi-mini is a travel stroller we saw in a store and would love to have it for our upcoming trip to Disney.
“We will, but we have some time…” replied Laura.
“Hey- what would you have said if someone had pulled us aside and told us the next time we would be at Disney we would be parents?” I said in a hushed tone as if it were a secret.
“I would of not been surprised” replied Laura in such a matter-of-fact tone. “It was our plan, wasn’t it?”
“Yes” I said, “but our last trip was this past December! I mean we weren’t even married yet!!! Sometimes I just look around and think, wow, I’m gonna be a dad! It just makes you realize how fast life changes…” I said.
“Yep, but I think it’s for the better, don’t you?” said Laura and she reached over and kissed my cheek. “You are gonna be a wonderful father.”
If you are lost… let me tell you a little bit about what I am talking about! Laura’s family and my family are all going to Disney World this September. You can read more about this at: You know when you’re a fan…
Laura and I have been wanting a ‘citi-mini’ stroller ever since we saw it in the store.
“I love how it just compacts like that,” said Laura very enthusiastically. “It’s perfect, it won’t be that heavy for you, I mean us to carry on the buses.”
Notice how she said, you first? Freudian-slip if I ever heard one.
“Yes, it is nice…” I said in agreement. “I like the red… easier to pick out in a crowd.”
“Definitely!” said Laura.
It is perfect for traveling and it would be almost impossible to take our “travel system” with us on the trip, no-less, the plane! Although, I am sure parents do it every day. However, Laura and I want as little as stress as possible… considering we will be traveling with an infant. And, in my old age… I have begun to hate flying. (Not so much flying, as lift-off!)
Funny how your priorities change, isn’t it? About a year ago we were discussing wedding plans… and I was working on paying for our honeymoon and now the baby. It seems like no matter who you are you are always in a constant flux of change. Okay, sorry, didn’t mean to get so Confucius on you all.
I guess the days of being jet setters are behind us… although, one day, when we are retired… oh, no, nevermind! HAHAHA!
Stress... stress go away...

That is crazy that a year ago you were still planning your wedding. Times flies! :-)
You guys are really moving right along with your baby preparations. That citi-mini looks awesome! Can't wait to see pix of the entire baby trouseau and room when it's ready for sharing. Billie
