So...my brother Mike and i went to target today. we came across this gorgeous leather journal (i'm obsessed with different types of journals and the blank pages of possibilities) that feels like when it's about 40 years old it'll be the perfect aged journal. i know i'm weird. anyway. it was 8 bucks and mike made me promise that if he bought it for me, i'd write letters to Lexi in it. i think it's a great idea to write to her. like keeping a journal only instead of saying "Dear Journal" i say "Dear Lexi"...we think it'd be really cool for her to read later on in life. her own book of words from her mother. random sketches, pictures, doodles, phrases, sayings...maybe some short stories. like i said...it's blank pages, the possibilities are endless. i'm really excited about it.
my brothers and i (sometimes my parents) have been playing card games and this word game called Bananagrams pretty much every night. i enjoy it so much, great bonding time and time to clear our heads and just enjoy each other through times of struggle that makes everything and anything hard to enjoy.
i've really been appreciating my time spent with mikey lately. i mean, i always like spending time with him. but at times it would feel forced in a way, not sure i can't really explain it. but lately it's just been like, peaceful in a sense. even when we just sit in silence, it's a shared silence that is somewhat relaxing. i don't know it's cool. i love my brother.
this flip video is ridiculously amazing as well and i can't thank bill enough for it. i love bill. i never tell him that though. maybe i will later. he should know it, i don't think he ever feels appreciated. as i'm typing this my eyes are stinging like i want to cry. hmm. heart strings.
i want to write my first letter to Lexi. but...my favorite pen is out of ink. so i have to wait for my parents to get back from walmart with a new one. i'm very particular on my pens, don't judge me.
at this moment i am sending seanly, frito lay firefighter, a text telling him it's chat time. i love that we're keeping in touch. we lost each other along the way, kind of lost ourselves in the process...but i think we're getting back on track...ayyyyy hermano!!
INSANITY in 4...maybe 8 days. depends on the circumstances. but...i'm thoroughly excited and unusually motivated. i NEED to do this. Alexis NEEDS me to do this. i can do it. i will do it.
my dad brought home a bottle of merlot he got from work. i don't usually like red wine. but, i'm always willing to give it another shot. hahaha.
i'm looking forward to the new year. it's going to be good, i can feel it. a lot of changes are coming my way.
