It's A Seeeecret

For months I have been able to dodge the questions and brush off any insinuations made at work, and trust me the topic has come up very frequently. I sometimes wonder if someone has found out, if someone leaked this information. I then comfort myself in the knowledge that I have only told one person at work and he is way too busy to be "chewing the fat" with too many people. It also doesn't hurt that not too many people even know who he is.

Anyhow, back to the point of this. I have fielded most questions fairly well by not letting on to the big secret. Sometimes I have been forced to flat out lie and that has been hard since I am not good at lying. So far I think my secret is safe, however, I am getting too tired of avoiding questions and being very careful about what I say that I will have to tell. I have not been good at telling people in person (and the people I have told are very close to me) so I decided to use this method of informing my friends at work. I hope I have not offended anyone by not telling them in person but I really don't like the attention that I know will follow (and I can't really find the right words).

I really hope I have built the suspense to beyond tolerable levels. If not, that is fine because I have gotten tired of typing and most of you have likely scrolled down to see the picture already anyhow so you know what is coming. Just remember that I would have told you "cool kids" before now but there are certain other people that I really don't want to know about it too soon because they will give me unwanted advice or mumble other unwanted nonsense.

Well it is time to tell. My wife and I are expecting our first child to be born in mid July (cue the Creed song "Arms Wide Open"). So now those who ask too many questions know what I will be doing with my vacation time so you can quit asking questions. I will leave you with this picture and please use this information wisely.

How did you manage to keep this a secret for so long??!? That's like, 8 months of lying. That is totally awesome, congrats to the both of you. Now when you come over I'll be bugging you for details!
