A Lot of Rambling
This past weekend I went down to San Deigo for a few days for Jill's sister's wedding. It wasn't really a vacation because I was getting to know her family better, and everyone was stressing over the wedding, but I still managed to have a good time. I really like her family, as they remind me of my own family, and I was happy to get to know them better. It was also really important for me to get to know them because it means a lot to me and a lot to Jill as well to get to know her family. Maybe I'll post some pics of us all dressed up.
I have been thinking a lot latley about some of the changes coming up in my life. More likley than not, by this time next year I'll be living somewhere in Southern California (see ya there Evan, Sean, and Emile!) with Jill (unless I get in UC Berkeley), subing and going to school to get my teaching degree. If you had asked me a year ago if I could have ever predicted this, I would have said, "No way". This shift in profession and location makes me realize that, yes, I am getting older and embarking on my "real" life. While I am slightly terrified about all of this, a huge part of me is excited and optimistic about everything. The kind of comfort, love and support that I find in my relationship with Jill makes everything managable. It also is a cause for reflection.
While at Jill's sisters house I noticed a copy of Axis and Allies that her fiance owned and it really took me back to high school and all thise nights and weekends that I spent with all of my friends. When I was walking around downtown San Deigo, I remembered going to ComicCon with Nick junior year of high school. I miss those days sometimes. The late nights spent playing NHL Hitz or driving around with the Camry gang on the boulevard. To Emile, Erik, Dan, Nick, Joe, and the rest of you from high school that I very rarely see, know that I think of you often with the fondest of memories and much love. I know that anytime things seem bleak that I can remember that I have friends like you and that brings me a lot of comfort. There is a lot more that I want to say, but I am at work and I should get back to putting out CD's.
