Well, it was fun while it lasted, but it appears that our summer is coming to an end. At least if you live where we do. The temperature is dropping and my wife is beginning to have high anxiety about a winter that is still weeks away. All that to say, our summer has been pretty good.

Of course a large part of our summer was simply just watching our daughter and learning how to not make her grow up to hate us. So far I would say we have been 50% effective in our efforts. Time will tell. It's a ton of fun being a dad, and I love the new adventure, but it has been hard for us too. Coming from a life that was fun and fancy free on a Broadway tour, to being stuck in our house every night after 8pm is kind of a rude awakening that we are grown ups now. It's also incredibly hard to have dates . Baby sitters are not as easy to find as you might think and our current jobs aren't quite as lavished as the ones we had before. Still, we try to remain feeling blessed and often remind each other that this is just the beginning of really awesome stuff.

One of the highlights of the summer for me was attending a wedding of a good friend of mine. So great to be near old friends and to be a part of such an awesome change in his life. Also, a weekend of not changing diapers does a lot for your self esteem.

We had a blast just hanging out, having a bonfire, and making jokes. Its so great to be surround by people that share in your interests and of course your sense of humor. Not to say that we don't have that here in Fargo, its just different from some of our old friends from before. Like getting to wear your favorite Tshirt on a Saturday. It just feels right.

We had plenty of adventure though. Here's a quick rundown of some of our summer Highlights.

1. Hitting the Lakes with my wife family. A great time to relax and enjoy some games.

2. Backyard bonfire. (not counting the one which may or may not have caused the fire department to arrive)

3. Downtown StreetFair with Out Of town visitor. Vendor food are always fun to try, We tried to keep it as low carb as possible, but that's impossible with fair food. Go Big or go home I guess.

4. Junk Week. Fargo people throw out awesome old stuff on their boulevards . We fix it up and we make money that in turn buys us a taco and mostly goes to diapers. Hooray for Junk!


5. Lots of outdoor walks.

6. Guardians od the Galaxy!!!

7. um...

I can't think of a #7. I am trying but I just can't. Geez that's a small list. crap. Ok, I got to go do something fun before its cold here or my wife is going to kill me.
