gosh, i haven't written for real in a very long time. i have an hour before i go to work and kathryn is in the other room writing beautiful music which inevitably makes me more sentimental and pensive. a lot of things have been going through my mind lately. about my calling here to pittsburgh, my job...is photography a selfish pursuit when i could be doing something more selfless...where does God have me next? am i being called to another place sometime soon or do i have something keeping me here in pittsburgh. how long will the community that i live in and love look the way it does now? watching the zaher's and ellie i know there's no other group of people i'd rather raise my children among. but i won't be childish and believe this is always as it will be, nor should it i suppose, an amazing community of amazing, talented gifted and chosen people horded for each other's benefit and comfort instead of being sent out into the world.
it has been wonderful and strange to have kathryn as my roommate. someone you've known and loved for 4 1/2 years suddenly living with you. had i thought 4 years...3 years ago that we would have been living together in pittsburgh? never. but nevertheless, it has already been a blessing.
oh now i'm losing motivation and hopefully i'll write more later but now i have to watch kathryn as she has just discovered she can write backwards with ease with her left hand.
