My blog

has been fairly neglected. For a really long time. Like, really. Over a year ago, really. So much that I've had time to get engaged, graduate, get married, start a new (adult type) job, move into a new place, get a dog, get rid of that dog, and then get that dog back again.

It's been a really busy year. Like, really.

And I am so thankful for all of it. I'd like to continue writing, though I suppose we'll have to see how much time I'll be able to devote to this. Turns out, no matter how busy I thought I might have been as a full-time student actively involved in a ministry and working part-time, it doesn't compare to now. Now I spend 8-9 hours of every weekday working at my new job (Springleaf Financial - Financial Representative), generally followed by some previously scheduled activity (date night, ministry, hanging out with Tevren).

And still, I love my life. I love my wife. With her I can get through all of life's strife. Lame rhyming aside, it's been an incredible 3.5 months. Reading my Blogger profile I think to myself, "What the devil was I thinking when I wrote this? Did I really think it was cool to call myself a bamf???"

So much has changed within the past three years. I feel like if you were to make a graph of "progression" in life, it would look something like a cubic root graph (translated slightly to the right and up), with the y-axis being the "level of progression" and the x-axis being time. The slope, then, at any given point would be the rate of change in your life. Only, on this graph, that weird part in the middle where it goes vertical marks the first 18-24 years of your life. After that, you fall into your career or your family or what have you.

You know what? I'm doubting the quality of this mathematical metaphor, so, I'm bailing halfway through. If you can think of a graph that fits life better, I'd love to hear it. For now, my lunch hour is just about over, so it's back to work for me. Stay frosty.
