Rain

It's raining here today......and it's not just raining a little bit......It's raining a lot. I generally don't like when it rains a lot here because the roads tend to have a lot of standing water on them. There isn't proper drainage on the roads. I also don't like the rain because I have the hardest time with Ross in this kind of weather. All he wants to do is go out and play but as soon as he realizes that it's wet......he wants to come right back in. It's like he has the memory of a goldfish because this same thing happens multiple times a day.  Today, I don't mind the rain though.

There's one reason and one reason only I don't mind the rain today. It's because of the ducks that have been waddling across the church's parking lot for a good hour or so.


This picture was taken from the window of my office. It's not the best picture in the world but there's only so much you can do taking a picture from behind your desk with a cell phone camera.

There's some standing water in the parking lot. It really appears as if they're literally wondering from puddle to puddle. Pam, one of the women that work in the church office, said that she thought they were going for the creek that runs along the side of the church property. So far, they haven't made it there. They've been just wondering around the parking lot. It's just two ducks too.....it's not like an entire flock. There have been a few times where it looked like one was telling off the other.....almost like these ducks are an old married couple arguing about if they should have gotten directions or not. It's really cute. I enjoy looking out my window to see them wondering through our parking lot.

It also makes me think of where I was in my life this time last year. On this date last year, I physically was at my future in-law's house on spring break. Mentally, I have no idea where I was. St. Luke wasn't even on the radar screen yet for me and I hadn't even began applying for jobs. I was very much like these ducks. I was wondering the proverbial parking lot looking for where the best place for me to go.

I did find where I need to be and I know that they'll find where they need to be too.......sooner or later.
