boy o boy life's been busy

Much to the annoyance of my beautiful wife, it has been a while since I have written a post.  I would plead back surgery and what not but I think we both know it was a long time before that.  I would next like to plead ineptitude.  Mary Jane insists that I write these better, but frankly I think she summed up the salient events of the fall better and significantly more succinctly then I ever could hope to.  My third excuse is that I really have nothing to say.  I could dither on for a while about how much I like spaghetti. (I really do, it was one of those basic comfort meals for me.  And while I like to make tomato sauce from scratch I rarely do because of time {because who has the time for that with a job, a PhD program, four kids, church stuff, and a wife I occasionally like to say hello to} and am frankly more then happy with a good ole jar of











...and who wouldn't be I ask?  Who wouldn't be? But I digress.)


But do I really digress? No, for that is the point, all I have to offer are odd digressions.  Random thoughts with no real connection or meaning.  For example.  I am currently working on a holiday meal menu.  I am thinking some nice baby-back ribs, with honey glazed baby-carrots.  No?  Don't blame you.  Doesn't really sound like winter food.  More something for the late spring early summer.  Say May?  Good menu for May.

But May is not what we are here to talk about, what we are here to talk about, and what is actually important for all of you to know, is that we are likely going to need to move.  Ever since we were blessed with Hannah Kate we have been feeling cramped where we are.  We love this house and it is the house the girls were all brought home to so we have a lot of memories, but we already have three growing girls stuffed into one room and by the time we add a couple more feet there just won't be room here.  So we're beginning to think about moving.  Where?  That is an excellent question, and depends heavily on my next career move, or career start, or however you want to look at it.

Anyway.  Life is good, but busy.  Life is full of change, but good change here, and we hope the holidays are blessing all of you as much as they are blessing us (although probably in different ways for some of you because you are either before or after that stage of life...you know cause being great with child is great and is a big change but not something you typically expect for everyone, I mean, it worked well for Mary and all of that.  Mary being pregnant at Christmas time was apropos, but for someone else, well I guess that could work to and that would certainly be a change and if it is the change you were hoping for then it is the change I wish for you but otherwise you can have other blessings and changes during this season as you and the Good Lord see fit.).

With love,
The Broges
