We are celebrating 1 year of joy.

Whenever my faith in God wavers I imagine the incredible force that created the universe. I think of all the atoms that were destroyed and all the elements that were pieced together. The gravities, pressure and circumstance that molded the earth, then seeded it from comets, gave it water and spun it with a perfect celestial match - our moon - around the sun. Our sun, one star from billions. I dream of the rise of man. Of all of those societies that formed and fell and were replaces by others. Of countless generations that came together and oftened warred with one another to form nations. I think about all the people who had to meet just at the right time. All the paths that each one of our thousands of ancestors had to take in exactly the right order so that my wife & I would one day meet at a high school in Tallahassee, FL

 

And so today I would be able to hold our child in my hands.
