The better half...not

So Meridith went to write in the blog the other day, had the whole thing typed out...and hit backspace. She lost everything she had written so she gave up for that day. I figure I will post up and say hi! Meridith and I went to Fay Meyers Bike night tonight at the Tavern (I rode, Mer drove). Saw a couple of friends and had a beer. Its nights like tonight that make me realize why I love owning my motorcycle. I really have to stop riding it to work since its starting to remind me of work when I see the bike. Lately I find myself not riding as much because I enjoy having a passenger and with the baby bump that doesn't happen. Its also hard to ride when your days off are split as I find myself having to pick one fun activity and one chore to focus on for the day. I would be lying if I didn't say I wasn't nervous about the complete change in life that a baby is going to bring. Meridith knows that I fully admit to my selfishness which makes me nervous about having a kid. Its more about wanting to do things and enjoy certain aspects of life and being nervous some of that will go away. Things will be different but I know they will be good. I mean c'mon, who wouldn't want us for parents :). Besides they do make pink body work for Honda 50's!!! Stella Kate the first womens MotoGP rider!

Anyway, cheers everyone!

to blog, or not to blog?

So to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure that I can get in to the whole blogging thing.  If I do, I didn't want to do it half-assed, so it took me over an hour last night to come up with a blog title.  I didn't want to be plain and call it 'Hinman Family Blog', I wanted it to be clever.  Finally after some debate I came up with 'hinman hindsight'.  Since you can reflect on blogs, I thought hindsight was an apporpriate term to use, plus it gives nice alliteration with our last name. 

Now that our wolf pack is growing from 2 wolves to 3, I thought it might be nice to have stories, milestones, memories and photos all in one place for our friends and family near and far to follow.  Again, we'll see if I can keep up with Stella, work, life and this blog.  If not, the blog will have to go :)  For now, I invite you all to follow along as our lives are about to change in the best way imaginable.
