I think that I've been nesting. I've been cleaning, doing yard work, cooking, repairing things around the house, etc. Kodiak doesn't seem to really be doing much of anything out of the ordinary.

Blogs are strange. It is almost like a journal, but you kind of want people to see what you're doing. That is awkward. At any rate, things have changed and things have stayed the same since my last post. Obama is president. Kodiak had a miscarriage, then she became pregnant again, then she had another miscarriage, now she is pregnant again. The economy is in a death spiral and not looking to improve any time soon. eek.

Life as I've known it for the last 30+ years ended a few days ago. Kodiak told me that she is pregnant. The long and winding road just got a bit longer and windy-er. I've already got an architect working on designs for our home. I've changed my 401k plan so that I have more cash available. I'm meeting with a friend to discuss refinancing our home or getting a line of credit. Next I'll start looking for contractors.
