Personal Update

I’ve been a tad remiss in my Xanga posting because of the below post and due to a full social/project calendar.

Gray and I got a visit from the middle brother and his wife/daughter/baby on Saturday. It was great to see them and they started their chant again, “Move to Raleigh and live near us!” I love my niece to death. She is so dear.

Sunday we lazed around the bed/couch watching movies and snuggling. Gray was feeling kinda icky so I played nursemaid and went to Blockbuster and the drug store and Food Kitty for him. (He is much better now.)

Yesterday my art-geek friend Gina came over and I cooked a pork loin roast with homemade mashed potatoes and green beans. We both needed a little comfort food. Her mom is having health battles and she is really being the trooper and doing all of that and finishing up her last year at Pembroke. I have taken over the duty of “make sure Gina laughs a lot and has fun”. It is a task sometimes, but oh so worth it to see the troubles lifted from her face.

Yesterday was Gray and my 6-month-since-we-got-married anniversary. It feels like we’ve been married forever, though. I guess part of that reason is since the day we met I’ve felt so comfortable around him. It was just this thing that I knew – we were meant to be together. It wouldn’t always be easy or fun, real life isn’t … but that we would always escape certain doom and be able to laugh about it later. And we have and we do.

I’m off to Computer Graphics in a few. I just wanted to pop in for a sec and say a few words. And to answer those who have emailed me and expressed concern – I’m not leaving Xanga. This is my place and I have always felt support here. If a couple of people want to try to ruin that, let them. I don’t care. I’m not running from them or letting them make me feel anyway other than what I do – happy of the person that I have become and proud of the changes that I am making in my life.

Toodles!

PS. We get our model tomorrow in Figure Drawing … this should be interesting.
