The Aftermath of Summer 2009
Summer 2009 closed out as planned. The weekend went off as planned. We hung out with the kids, went to wrestling, and to Malediction. At some point Becca started crying because now Cody & Brandi & Drew now live in Cali and she's stuck in Oklahoma. It was sad, we all hugged her. Friday they'll all be coming up here for a last hurrah before Becca leaves Saturday. This is the first time we've seen Becca in about 2 years, I missed her (and I'm sure Cody has too). Violet took lots of pics of us so there's photo proof that we existed. Brandi looked gorgeous, as did Becca. They both lost so much weigh, Brandi the most. Oh my god, and I got Becca one the dance floor and man, she was groovin!!! I feel I got a great compliment when Jetti said she loved drawing me and Cody. Her work is amazing. I would have gladly paid more than $10 for my picture.Other guest appearances? My eX was there. So was Eric. Though I didn't get to speak to them as much as I would like, I'm sure they understand why.
Cody went to Malediction last night. He had to get up for work at 7:45 this morning. We got home around 3:45am, asleep around 4-something. He went to work, and from work, straight to school. I think I should hereby promise I wont go to Malediction again unless he doesn't work Monday morning or I go alone (or unless he suggests it). It's pretty selfish of me to drag him out like that. Last night was mandatory, though I hardly think it will be again in the future.
Today school begins. It feels better. It feels normal. As much as I liked summer, I felt at a loss for purpose. Granted, I only have two real classes this term; I am really looking forward to creative writing and ethics. And Cody begins his academic pursuits today, for the first time ever. you don't even know how proud of him I am. He's taking PACE (accelerated) classes so try and get done quicker as he can only take about 2 classes while he's working 40+ hrs a week.
I want to sleep more, but I know I need to regulate out my sleep schedule so I'll stay awake that way tonight I can fall asleep at a decent time.
I love me. I love being me. I love my fiance. I love my life. I cannot stress these things enough. I maintain, I am the luckiest girl int he world. With that, I move forward into a new phase of life with the boi. As he has been so giving in the past, I will now become more giving to him and try to support his dreams and pursuits a bit more for the next year. I have the time. He has been so supportive the last 2 years of my education that it's only fair I start giving more now on my down time. I am ok with this. He doesn't know I've taken this stance, nor am I gonna tell him. I'm just hoping it will show in my actions. Any person who works full-time and manages to take classes is to be commended.
Today feels new.
I am optimistic.
I'm also hoping for an Indian Summer that rivals what little summer we had. I want to use the pool damn it!
