Cosmic Collisions

I went to see Cosmic Collisions- the new show at OMSI. It was pretty good, I expect so much from entertainment now that I am not impressed that easily. However, after the show, the scientist stood up and talked about astroids hitting the earth and how the impact killed the dinosours. And then he made a slight comment about how there could be another collision in 2029. I dismissed it and left the show thinking about how it was a pretty good show on how our planet was created and how our moon was created.

Tonight while Michael and I were talking, I remembered what the scientist said about the astroid. So I googled- 2029 Astroid. Already 305,000 websites on it. Appraently on April 13th, 2029 an astroid will be sliding in between our earth and our moon. Scientist believe it will miss the earth but Nasa says that there is still a 1 in 60 chance it will collide. 1 in 60? Are you kidding me? That's pretty close. Anyway, I thought this was so interesting. Michael and I already have a date set for that night- to sit out in our backyard and watch the sky.

Our New and Somewhat Familiar Life



We married on September 15th in Portland Oregon. We had a blast at our Wedding and are now settling into what we hope to be for the rest of our lives- life together. It's not that different being married. Yea, we have the occasional clothing item left on the floor, we also have to buy food for two people instead of one, we must keep each other informed on our schedules, o yea, and we get to have sex which is God's great gift for relationships. But other than that, it's pretty much the same. I still wake up and wonder why I don't have perfectly clear skin, Michael still works his butt off at his job, there is less and less time to get everything done, and my drive to work still takes me just as long as it did when I was single. We talk about our faith in God (which is super nice to have someone to do that with), we go for walks, we eat out occasionally and we trade off putting away the dishes. All in all, I like being married. I like it a lot more than being single (although it isn't all that different).
