From the time she was a little girl, Katelyn has always loved fish. While she has had many Beta fish over the years, we decided that we finally needed to fill her (12 gallon!!!) aquarium in our new apartment. It makes a beautiful addition to our guest room.
However... our guest room is not simply a guest room. It is also our office/workspace and, let me tell you, it is filled with many, many books. As an aspiring pastor/theologian, Katelyn has graciously allowed me to name our fish after some of my favorite theologians!!!! While this may seem like a purely kind gift to me, there is her underlying hope that these names will not appear as options for our children someday. Clever.
So... it is my pleasure to introduce to you our newest friends.

ReplyDeletealso Dahvede says "the catfish are awesome! Good call Sam!"
Ever notice how pets take on characteristics of their namesakes?
