The End Is Nigh!

Now that we all realize the Mayans were full of shit, I'd like to acknowledge the end of 2012 - it's a coming folks!  In less than a week we will all be living in 2013; unless of course you die in that time! 
What a year? 
What a year?
2012 has been quite a year in the Cobb World! 
Sara and I have grown as parents.  Evie Sue has grown into a fun little spitfire of a toddler!  I became a Mate!  There have been so many monumental moments in my life this year that I could not possibly record them all!  I am excited to start 2013 with my family.

Twas The Night Before The Night Before Christmas!

One more day until Christmas!  One more early morning and one more trip around the Baltimore Beltway!  
I'm ready for a little Xmas cheer!

HOLY SHIT!

Button Is One Year Old!  Today my daughter has been in our lives for 365 days!  That boggles my mind.  How can we have been parents for a year?  How can I have been someone's father for a whole year?   I can't even understand it.  Where did the last year go?  (I'm sorry that the title of this post is so crass but it best sums up the wonder and awe I am feeling at this moment.)

To be honest I've been working on this blog post ever since the day before Evie Sue's birthday.  I just couldn't come up with anything else to write.  Maybe it was the pressure of such a monumental day.  Maybe I've gotten rusty and just don't have the motivation to blog anymore.  I've also been overwhelmed with work and finances lately, so maybe that's contributed to my lack of posting.

Then today, the day after the birthday, I heard a song on the radio that summed it up better than I was able to do.  To borrow a page out of Sara's book, I would like to quote a song as part of this post.

In 'Love Will Do That'  Darius Rucker sings:

The second I saw you  
What was important wasn't important no more 
Love will do that 
Love will do that
Made the ole moon burn brighter, 

led to all-nighters  
Made sleeping a thing of the past 
Love will do that 
Love will do that
It changes everything  

Makes the angels sing  
Puts the past in the past
It'll drive you crazy  

Sometimes it just makes you laugh  
Yeah, love will do that

Okay, so maybe the song was meant to be a love song but every time I hear it I think about how my daughter has changed my life.   I think about how I love her much more than I ever knew I could, and I think about how my life will never be the same.  Happy Birthday, Button!}  


 
*Just a fun fact, apparently this is not the 1st time I have quoted a country song on this blog and I was never a country music fan!
