| Abby! |
As I said in my last post, we’re getting down to the nitty gritty. One major event that was greatly anticipated was the birth of my second child, a daughter – Abigail Lane Staton (Abby). I am happy to say my little angel successfully came into the world at 2:19pm last Tuesday weighing exactly 8lbs and is as healthy as… well whatever something healthy is. Since I’m a man, I won’t tell you the story “push by push”, but here’s a link to my wife’s blog with all the cool details…
So now we’re down to just over a week before I fly to Ecuador. A few things left to do – I have to finish up my last week at Medieval Times, my last show on Aug 7th. We have to pack up the house on Aug 5th. I’ll drive to NC on Aug 8th, spend few days with my parents, and then I’m off to South America.
I’m getting excited. This is how it works for me. My wife gets nervous/anxious/excited IMMEDIATELY when news happens and stays that way through the fruition of the event. I stay pretty mellow initially and then a week before, every crazy though begins to kick in – I’m leaving Medieval Times, I’m moving to a foreign country alone, I’ll be without my family for two months, I’m teaching drama to Ecuadorians, I will miss Chick-Fil-A.
I’m ready for everything though, which thankfully makes things much easier on my nerves. I’m still nervous, but I’m ready for my new adventure.
