Juan and I have officially married. I am no longer a Scarrow, but am now a Hernandez. I feel lighter having shed that name, but heavier having officially acquired an entire family. Things are, however, going quite well at home. Much better than they were a few weeks ago. And for that I am thankful...the suburban doesn't prove to be much shelter on these Colorado cold nights. :)
My sister is back in Waukegan. I feel a little empty with her gone. She was my confidant...my sanctuary. Without her, I come home only to a drunk, semi-unemployed brother-in-law...a sociopathic freshman in high school...and an overzealous mother-in-law who treats us all as though we were 5. She was my one sincere hello in a house full of obligatory how are you's. I miss her. Though I know she is where she belongs....for now.
I spoke to my friend Becky the other night...and to my delight, my friend, Reggie, from high school. I haven't spoken to Reggie for almost 6 years...and for 4 years before that. It was so good to hear his voice. And it was really cool hearing him say, with confidence, that he was gay. We had known him, Becky and I, since freshman year of high school. It was no secret that he was gay, but he could just never say it...even to us...his best friends. So, hearing him tell us the other night, while on a 3-way call, was so amazing to me. What's also amazing..is that he in the marines..a move I never expected him to make. He seems to be doing well...and I'm glad. The three of us had so much fun in high school. I think a reunion is in order.
I miss so many people.
