It seems like a trend is emerging. Every two years it seems like we have this block of time where we end up taking a long trip across the country. The first time it was Brin and me in the VW. Then Micah on the plane to CA, camping in the Sierras. Now Micah and Levi are coming to CA with us to tour the coast and look for El Dorado.
Things just seem to be happening this way, and as time progresses, unexpectedly. I have always been a risk taker, but it seems like the temptation of living up to adult responsibility is being overpowered by the great adventure, of which I am a part. Kinda like the hulk over powering Bruce. The two were so different and at extremes of power, but they still had influence over each other.
Where will this adventure take us? I am not sure and it does not have to meet my designs.
Just get in the boat and paddle.

The Top of the Hill Is Potential Energy
So we had been working on the house and becoming what I thought was the typical suburban lifestyle. Well, God must have had something different in mind.
A surprise phone call on Nov. sent us to Jacksonville. I had been offered a position as an aquatic preserve manager for the state. It was a singular opportunity to operate a field office and work with other federal, state, and local governments to cooperate in the planning o coastal resources. I thought great! I will be near the coast with good surf (not CA consistency), and get to do something challenging.
The position was very interdisciplinary and would take roughly-6 months to get a handle on it. Unfortunately, I only had about 2 months of actual hands on experience, when my supervisor made a surprise visit and asked me to resign.
So after living in the mother-in-laws home cramped in a small room with Micah, Brinly w/ baby, in two single beds we said, lets get out of here! Brinly was due with Levi (at the time we thought it was Lily) in Apr and we had to make the choice of staying or risking the trip to Naples and back to our home.
To sum it up, we packed up and moved in the Honda and a '88 Cadillac Tom gave us. What a sight we were!
Levi was born on Apr 11th and we have been home unpacking and enjoying time as a family. We will wax on more but for now will wane until a brief bit of breakfast.
