all the things in my life that need changing or relate to it.

Can I call this a timeline?

At 16 years old, I definitely wasn't ready!  I cared about girls, sports, and driving.

At 18 years old, I can assure you I wasn't ready.  I was a serial dater, competitive athlete, and was thinking about college.

At 21 years old, I wasn't close to ready.  I was more concerned with beer, parties, and making sure I passed my tests in Pharmacy School.

At 24 years old, I wasn't ready but I could have provided for.  I was a freshly minted Pharmacist, I drank too much, worked too much, and cared too much...about myself.

At 27 years old, I had so much more I wanted to do.  I still cared more about myself but was ready to care equally about someone else.

At 29 years old, I was sharing my feelings and my life with another person.  Christine became the center of my life but she was my focus.

At 30 years old, I caught the traveling bug, Maui, BoraBora, and Italy, we came home refreshed and happy and ready.

At 31 years old the time had come I was ready to care more about someone else than I did about myself.

At 32 years old, I am going to be a Dad.  I'm ready to devote my life to this child.  Changes are going to be swift and drastic in the coming weeks.  I'm ready.  I don't entirely know what to expect but that's part of the excitement of being a first time parent.  I know now that it will never be about me anymore, it will be about him, about us, and about everything else.

We have about 20 days left until the due date, with the current progression with Christine I would say that she won't make it to the due date.  I have a feeling that little boy in there is going to be here sooner than later.  I can't wait to meet him and I can't wait to show him to you.

Life is going to change...sooner than later.
