Re-Flux

I've been re-reading "Flux" by Peggy Orenstein, which is one of my favorite books.  I first read this book at 24, on advice from my sister.  4 months later I met Sean.  Then I re-read this book at 26, right before I got married and after I had moved with Sean cross-country.  I thought it might be interesting to read it after having a baby and getting married.  It is.  My perspective has definitely changed in 7 years since the first read.  At that point, I was so concerned about having equality in my marital relationship and wondering how I was going to have it all, or how I was going to find someone who would be my partner and what my career would be like.  Now, I read it and I don't think that about that stuff to that extent anymore, I just do it. The book still reads well and I still find myself saying, "yeah, that's true" to most of it.  

Here at casa Eidson, we have some flux of our own going on, with some EXCITING (as Stephen would say) stuff on the horizon that I can't talk about yet. :)

You can't say you have exciting news and not say anything about it. NO FUN
