This trip has been a blast, for the most part. I love my sisters, I love being in the South, I love my Aunts and my friends and I've been so happy seeing them and being able to visit with them.

Today was court, though. Mom got 57% plus alimony. She also got a chunk of the money from the college and mission fund that the kids had earned (Dad's side company that we'd all worked for). I spent a lot of today trying to think of how to make her realize how far past the line she'd gone. Only now am I starting to feel that crushed feeling that always happens when that woman's life brushes mine.

It was a great birthday--had lots of fun, took pictures. More later

Going to SC tomorrow! (but more like today...)

Ex-boyfriends

I saw Tod while I was in Califoria this past week. Interesting thing is that I'm finally over him. There were no twinges or wanting extra hugs. I didn't even feel the desire to hurt him or make him jealous. I think now that my romantic feelings are gone, I might be capable of just being friends with him. Despite not having any desire to make him jealous or pay him back for any wrongs in the past, I definitely still wanted to harass him. It was fun!

He hates pictures

On a somewhat related note, I keep getting to know Justin better and better and vice versa. I've been letting my guard down more and more in an almost unprecedented speed--granted, that's still much slower than the average, but it's huge progress for me. Even though I'm pretty sure you can, I'm going to say you can't even IMAGINE how much fun we have all the time. XD

Ridiculousness is our forte

I am so much happier and cheerful now. I am so content. Some of it probably has to do with not being in as much pain, but a lot of it probably has to do with knowing that I am cared about and am acutely missed while I am gone on vacation to places like California--when I got back, Justin hung out with me for most of the day and didn't want to stop cuddling with me. It was so nice.
