• Well, I'm here, on my grandparents' 62nd wedding anniversary.  I do wish I could be with them, but I'll be back up for a surprise 85th b-day party for my grandfather later this month.  Lots o' stuff going on.  Let me see if I can catch it all up.

  
  

  First off, Lauren had been writing some stuff on her xanga saying things like her copy of "Angels And Demons" had fallen into enemy hands.  Wow.  I go from best friend to enemy.  I called her EVERY day during her pregnancy to check & see if she was ok.  I TRIED to throw her a bridal shower & my mom and my mother's friend saved the day since everyone else failed her.  I've done rituals & made sachets for them, the house & the baby.  I have done nothing but love them, and yet, I am somehow an enemy.   It kills me.  She even sent me a text message the other day.  In that message, and on xanga, she talks about how she would never ruin my career opportunities despite the friend that I have been to her.  Yeah, damn ME for offering, but you refuse.  That makes a lot of sense.  There's not a damn thing I can do.  Bobby keeps asking me why I've been torturing myself by reading her site & dwelling on this whole scenario & what not.  I can't help it.  Personally, I cannot throw 16 years away that easily.  I was willing to do anything & everything for her & her family (and I offered everything I could), and yet I am a bad guy.  I'll never understand it.  I told her it was obviously a huge miscommunication & I was sorry for my half of that miscommunication.  Not good enough.  Well then, what is?!  I guess I'll never know.

  
  

  Had a lot of drama going on with my friend Elisabeth.  Things with that jack-ass of a husband of hers got scary.  VISIBLE bruises on her.  That sent me flying.  She hung out with Bobby & I, and we introduced her to Jay.  There was a mutual attraction between her & Jay, which makes both Bobby & I estatic.  She spent the night with me & told me that she would come down here with me until she could sort things out.  She was supposed to call the next night.  She didn't.  I called NUMEROUS times, never heard back from her.  So, Bobby, Jay & I decided that we should stop by & try to get her out of there on our way.  Unfortunately, because Jay was driving the moving truck, he could not come to the house.  He pulled over the side of the highway & waited for us.  Bobby & I were there for a LONG time.  I had called the cops & filed a report that afternoon.  This time, we knocked on the door of the RV.  Jim, Elisabeth's husband, looked right at me through the window blinds but didn't open the door.  Bobby called the cops again.  It seemed almost instantaneous when 3 cop cars pulled up.  One of the cops came right up to us & told us he knew the score.  He knew they had been there many times before & he himself had been there before.  The cops waited with us for a while.  Elisabeth told them she was ok & that she was going to stay.  The cops left.  Bobby & I Told her that was the biggest mistake she could have made.  We told her she may never have another chance to get out.  We talked to her for a while, and she decided she would come with us.  She went to go back into the RV to change, I tried to stop her, but she went anyway.  She was in there.  I heard 3 loud thuds & we could hear them arguing inside.  The cops came back (we found out later that Jim had called them back).  One cop then told us that we needed to leave & never come back.  Let me tell you, I was a WRECK.  It was EXTREMELY difficult to just drive away & keep going.  She did call Jay to let him know she was ok & to find out what was going on with Bobby & I.  I just spoke to her yesterday.  She IS ok, and she is definetly getting a divorce & it looks like she might be coming down here & she is definetly going to start hanging out with Jay.  I am thrilled about that.  I know everything is fresh, but if there is anyone who knows how to treat a woman properly, it's Jay.  Hopefully things REALLY will start to work out to her benefit.  I love that girl, and she has been through way too much bullshit, I want only the best for her.  Hopefully this is the start of that.

  
  

  Other than that, we are down here, getting acclimated, still tons of boxes everywhere, but we're getting through it bit by bit.  I have a job.  I had an interview on Thursday & I took the job.  The pay is higher, decent benefits & I liked the atmosphere.  I have to make a call about being "officially" licensed as a tech here in VA, but otherwise, I am all set.  Bobby & I actually have a bunch to do & I should probably get going.  I;m going to try to get back on here later tonight when I can FINALLY read & catch up with everyone else.  Take care, have a wonderful & beautiful day.  Much love & many blessings to you all!
