good day

i don't have much to post about today, but i will for the sake of seeing "August 21, 2007" etched in the header for posterity.

i feel like this year has brought about so much change, but when i think about it, there have been others like it- in 2004 i went from being unmarried and living in mount prospect to being married and living in bangkok, thailand. that would count as a big change. but this year, for some reason, i feel that taher and i have had our lives switch into a totally different mode.

a mode i'm liking more and more as we settle into our house. and as the baby's kicks become strong enough to actually interrupt our conversations, the reality of a newborn coming into our lives becomes a reality i am getting more and more excited for, also.

good birthday so far.
