2003's death
Here we are at the brink of a new year. Behind us 2003 is slowly beginning to break up, decay. Has it been a good year? For me, that answer is easy. Yes.
Let's start at the beginning of the year and work our way back. January 1st was not a relatively good time. Still mourning Josh Haight. I swear I saw him everywhere.
Feburary I was in love. I moved out of my aunt and uncle's house to become the third member of Quincy's household. That was a lot of fun. Josh Settles moved away, wahhh, I was sad for that, but still in love with that guy.
March passed much the same. Although I got a ferret. :) And a job.
April was probably the same. I can't remember. I'm guessing there was plenty of time spent with the ferret and the job. I believe it was in April that I did a lot of walking. To and from work. Or late at night when I had nothing to do and was feeling weird.
May passed slowly. I fell out of love, and spent a lot of time alone. I worked a lot, and hung out with my brother. At the end of the month, I received a fateful email. 'Hi I'm new to the area...' such thing. What the hell. I wrote back. We talked. I invited him to the big party at our house.
June was the month the party happened in. Lots of people were upset with me for not hanging out. Can they fault me now? If he and I hadn't spent that whole night talking until 6... who knows. Instead, we realized it was something big. Spent a lot of time with Chris this month. Well, mostly just weekends. His birthday was June 21. Bought him lots of gifts. Sometime at the end of the month maybe, we broke the news that we were going to get married. Yes, we knew it that soon. I think we knew it before two weeks had gone by. I was taking college classes.
July flew by. I was extremely busy this month. My car took a dump. Chris bought a Dodge Neon. I was working an awful lot, and before and after work I was in class. In betwee all that, I was trying to plan my wedding, and yet still have time for friends. Not sure if it worked. At the end of July I quit my classes. I didn't have enough time for everything and was getting behind in my homework.
August 1st I got married. That day and the following are so emotion-filled that I can't even begin to explain. I am still so grateful for the people who came to my reception. When my in-laws watched the video, they loved you guys. Especially Tacy with his mac-n-cheese recipes. :) August I moved out of Quincys. I was told that he didn't really want to live with a couple. Which turned out to be a slap in the face when Max and Vanessa moved into my room. Kind of sad things never worked out with Quincy. He was a really good friend, who apparently couldn't accept that I was a big enough girl to know what was right and wrong, and that this was right. Sorry Q. I wish you could have accepted Chris. He turned out to be a better man then you, and all he really wanted was for you to like him.
September I started getting ready to say good-bye. I spent a -lot- of time with my family. I really miss my aunt and uncle, who are like my mom and dad. Spent a lot of time with Chris, because he moved in with me. My ferret escaped the house this month. I was devastated. Cried all the time, and at the drop of a hat. Olliver still owns a VERY big piece of my heart...any other ferret will never be like him. I mean, how many ferrets play hide and go seek with you? I quit my job at the end of the month. Chris graduated from tech school.
October 1st was the craziest day of my life. We did all sorts of things, said good-bye to his friends from tech school, oil change, buying supplies, packing the car, saying good byes to my own family. That was hard. Sometimes I just want a hug from my aunt so bad I can smell her patchouli. If I think of my uncle hard enough, I can smell Obsession and his leather jacket. I miss them. You know, I didn't even cry when I left my mom. Chris and I drove across country. You know, leaving California was the first time I ever got to make the drive on 166 driving myself. Lol, that is almost ironic. We drove all the way to Springfield Missouri before stopping and sleeping. I made that last leg, (I think I took over again in Oklahoma), wide-eyed. I still can't believe we went that far in two days of non-stop driving. That first night, when I took back over the second time, I drove all the way through Arizona. (Of course at this time, I was getting loopy. I smoked almost a whole pack in three hours, trying to keep myself awake. When I couldn't stay between the lines anymore, Chris made me pull over. I could hardly move... I was shaking, felt like I had been drinking for three days..) FInally made it to Pennsylvania. Met my mother-in-law and loved her to death. She has this great big boxer named Amadeus. He's absolutely gorgeous. Met my father-in-law... SLEPT... Went to Salem Massachussetts, which I don't suggest to anyone. Awful traffic. Love the history and would love to go back sometime. Made another road trip out here to North Dakota.
Novemeber 2nd was my birthday. I turned 18 and bought my first pack of cigarettes at 12:15 (and we had stayed at Denny's until 12.) Awesome. :) The guy almost wouldn't sell them to me, until I pointed out it was 16 minutes into my 18th birthday. Hehehe! On November 3rd, Chris and I moved into our new house. A couple weeks after that, we bought the new puppy Artemis. Thanksgiving was good, except Chris got really sick chasing after Raina in the snow.
December has been a relatively okay month. Artemis is almost completely potty trained (YAY!!!), she has an accident every week or so. We actually found one of her molars, and she should be losing her eyeteeth pretty soon. :) Of course, there was Christmas.
So all together, I think the year was pretty goddamn good. :)
