well then, shall we?
it has been forever since ihave actually put in an entry. life has been a bit too demanding of late. but not in any way that can be construed as negative.
so..the countdown continues....
iw ill be gone by the last week of november. i try not to mention it as much since everything is still waiting..waiting..waiting..
but as of September 20...
i will know where we are going...
and approximately when we are going...
and go we shall!
isaac is now in the second grade. my, how time has flown.
he grows so much and the more the speaks, the more acutely i am aware of the fact that he is absorbing all that is around him. it makes me more cautious and more particular in my choices.
odd that his increased age has increased my diligence.
jerrod and i are doing wonderfully. having spent the passed three years dating across the spectrum in ages and maturity levels...i must say...it is very pleasant to be in an adult relationship. we just do not sweat the small shit. we do not play guessing games. it is a very peaceful and loving interaction..
i didn't realize how much i needed something like that until i held it in my hands. all of the men i have had interactions with have been gentle. that was the singular identifying trait. otherwise they were nothing alike for the most part. the gentleness was all that i knew, for sure, that i wanted.
now, well...now ihave other things to add to the list. :)
i am pleased not to be in school. i have gone through more books than i know what to do with this summer. i am averaging 3-4 a week. add that to taking isaac on long hikes (a previously sporadic development now made more continuous by the youngling) and working two jobs....that pretty much fills my days.
on a tangent: we went and saw the bats emerge out in fredricksburg on saturday. it was a great day..we hiked up enchanted rock and then went to the cave.
the emergence was an almost magical experience. it was simple, obvious and yet somehow delicate and most assuredly beautiful. definitely something worth doing.
