i'm back...

... and I nearly forgot my password to get into my blog! How lame is that?

I apologize for my absence. There's been a bit of change going on in the lives of Ryan and Callie. I don't think I've actually blogger this yet -- but we're going to have a baby. How scary/crazy/exciting/mind-blowing is that? That's not the only change we're in the midst of, but I'll blog more about that later.

Things to look forward to in future blogs:
- More changes for the Briese fam.
- Names we can't use because of a last name pronounced "Breeze".
- The joys of morning sickness.
- Other happenings/musings.

In the meantime, let me share this little story for your enjoyment. Imagine you're on a trip for work to the suburbs of Baltimore, MD. And imagine your mother has spent a small number of hours warning you about the "bad neighborhoods" of Baltimore and how they just seem to come out of nowhere. Then imagine that you're using a GPS to find your way back to the hotel. And you accidentally turn the wrong way. Instead of telling you to turn around, the GPS instructs you to turn down a little one-lane road. And you assume that it's going to tell you to quickly turn around again and send you on your merry way, but instead it sends you down this road for two miles... through what looks like something from Deliverance.



What would you do?

I'd turn around.

What did YOU do?

Welcome back to blogging, by the way! :)

I've been in one of those types of neighborhoods in Philly, no joke. I understand the innate fear of being somewhere that you have NO CLUE WHERE YOU ARE, let alone the fact that the whole surroundings are sketchy. Thus, good work on not dying.

Congrats on pregnancy!

Oh, and it's good to have you back in the blogging world. We missed you.
