First Time Out


Today we brought Olivia to one of our friends' house.
He's got a nice place out in the country,
And Erin and I wanted to get out for a little bit,
So we hung out with him for a couple hours.
Olivia slept through most of it.

One of the things you get to enjoy as a parent is showing off your child.
We weren't sure about bring her out yet at first,
But we're glad we did.
Olivia woke up for a little bit,
But she slept for the most part,
So we didn't have to worry about her getting fussy,
And it all felt like it went well.

We were going to take pictures,
But we forgot to bring the camera,
So we'll have to do that next time.
There will probably be snow on the ground by then.


Tomorrow we have to get everything out of our apartment.
I got most of the stuff out,
But we still have a few big things,
So Erin's dad's going to help me move them.
We haven't found a new apartment yet,
So we're going to have to store everything at Erin's parents' for the time being.

We have to find an apartment soon.
Although her parents aren't rushing us,
There's more pressure now that all of our stuff is here.

There's no point in getting worked up about it though
When you only have so much control over it.
I think what's most important now is to continue looking.
Our goal is to have a place within the next two weeks.
At this point, I'm not going to be picky.
