Introduction how many of us can say we're doing something we never expected to be doing 10-20 years into adulthood? such as blogging, for instance? or raising 2 daughters (ages 10 & 13)? how about placing a science career on hold to focus on family, cleaner floors and quality reading time? well, some things i knew for sure back in the day are still true: cats are cool pets, marriage (20 years) is a great gift, and god is good all the time.
