What Time Does

It has been a while since I put a post onto this site. Which, in a way is the topic of this blog.
I recently bought a DVD recorder and started putting old movies onto DVD. Of course to do this I had to watch every second of my old home movies. I watched footage from before my son was born, from when I was "much younger", from when I first bought my house. Has that much time really gone by?
When I watch those movies it seem like I have traveled 5 years in the blink of an eye. I feel the same as I did then, but I am so different. When I watch those videos it feels as though it could have been yesterday just as easily as years ago. Then I hit the stop button and look around at my beautiful family, how they have grown. My son is now 2 and a 1/2 and I have a daughter that is 9 months, they are so big!! I look in the mirror and can't tell the difference between that guy and the guy in the videos. I look and feel the same. The only way I can tell five years have gone by is by what has been accomplished. The walls are painted, I have a new job, I graduated, my kids are talking and walking, two different cars are in the driveway, my bro is married, etc. etc.. The constant... My wife is still Smoking Hot!!! Stone cold fox, yeah!!

It scares me in a way. I often think about how my son is going to be grown and out of the house before I know it. I just think of myself at his age and how silly and naive I was, it wasn't that long ago. Here I am raising that same kid. I am at that age where I am still my Dad's son but I am my son's father at the same time. It is a little ironic hanging out with my dad and my son at the same time. I try and be old and mature with my son but at the same time my dad tries to instruct me as he did when I was 13 and we were in the garage working on the family car. I wouldn't trade any of those moments for the world though. It is so nice to see one generation of Hunts play with a far separated generation of the same name. With times help, one day, I will be there.
