::News...yay!::

Well, I got a call from my brother Jason in Germany. Him and his girlfriend Mandi are engaged! :) They have tentatively set the date for April of next year.

It's kind of funny...we are all growing up. O_o
I've spent a lot of time with my brothers. We were all homechooled, and we've always done alot together as a family. Now, Jason is overseas and engaged, Michael is married and expecting a baby...I don't know, it all seems to happen so fast, growing up that is. When I visit friends I grew up with, it always amazes me at how much they've grown and changed. I guess I never expected it to really happen.

As a child I wanted to grow up so fast, and now....sometimes I wish I could go back to being a kid :)
But I suppose this is the way most people are when they grow older. I just never thought it would REALLY REALLY happen. Where did the time go?

Not that I am not completely thrilled about Michael and Jason mind you...I love Sarai, and I am sure I will love Mandi. I feel so lucky to have such a diverse family. I understand so much more having met Sarai and her family through Michael, and I am sure that it will be no different with Mandi.

But there is that inkling in the back of my head that really misses those last minute trips to Glen Rose with Nels and my brothers, or going out to movies, and even building forts out in the country.
Life was nice then. Life is nice now...just different.

But, as I have learned the past few years, different is usually good. :)

Laraelyth: oh, come now *she smiles* you are a man of the world. You must have tales of romance and intrigue....
(21:36:42 (Nov 14, 2002)) (lizzer)

Laraelyth: (once upon a time there was a beautiful princess "capital T capital P" who lived in the Tall Tower "TT" surounded by the Great Bog "GB"...one day the Evil Prince "EP".....and etc...)
(21:38:55 (Nov 14, 2002)) (lizzer)

Thayne Corr: *smirks* If I told you any of my interesting romance stories, I'm sure you would either blush or hit me. But still.....
(21:39:4 (Nov 14, 2002)) (Wally)

Laraelyth: *grins* indeed? Now I must know..*chuckles*
(21:40:2 (Nov 14, 2002)) (lizzer)

Thayne Corr: Well...in your business, I'm sure you know that sometimes it's necessary to make alliances with some....unscrupulous sorts
(21:41:33 (Nov 14, 2002)) (Wally)

Laraelyth: Alas..yes.
(21:42:6 (Nov 14, 2002)) (lizzer)

Thayne Corr: Well....a few years ago, I had some interesting works of art I was trying to get out of Silvanost...only they were being a bit touchy about lettign such things leave the area...
(21:43:20 (Nov 14, 2002)) (Wally)

Thayne Corr: So I sent a woman that works for me ahead into Silvanost, to establish contacts and look around, then after two weeks, I joined her, intending that the two of us should...acquire them somehow
(21:44:2 (Nov 14, 2002)) (Wally)

Laraelyth: *quirks a brow and nods...pouring another glass of wine*
(21:44:51 (Nov 14, 2002)) (lizzer)

Thayne Corr: Well, I'm sure you know how it can get, being with one familiar person in a sea of strangers. in the midst of planning everything, she and I became rather...ahem intimate.
(21:46:18 (Nov 14, 2002)) (Wally)

Thayne Corr: So, it took me completely by surprise when one particularly intimate moment was interrupted by a trio of sword-wielding ruffians bursting into the room, shouting. *smirks*
(21:47:44 (Nov 14, 2002)) (Wally)

Laraelyth: *has a hard time keeping the amused look off of 'er face*
(21:48:26 (Nov 14, 2002)) (lizzer)

Thayne Corr: What followed was....*pauses, tries to think of how to describe it without totally embarassing himself* Well, as I fought my way clear, I got to see much of the city, and much of the city got to see quite alot of me.
(21:48:53 (Nov 14, 2002)) (Wally)

Thayne Corr: When I reached the border, all I had to my name was my sword, and a bearskin rug I'd grabbed on the way out.
(21:49:18 (Nov 14, 2002)) (Wally)

Laraelyth: *chokes mid-sip, picturing him in his 'altogether'* well, it's a good thing you were...well...er...equipped *grins broadly*
(21:50:25 (Nov 14, 2002)) (lizzer)

Laraelyth: (a sword eh? is that what they are calling it nowadays? *smirks* )
(21:51:14 (Nov 14, 2002)) (lizzer)

Thayne Corr: (*WHAPS* hush you)

(21:51:36 (Nov 14, 2002)) (Wally)

Thayne Corr: Hush you. (yay, a line that works for both occasions)

(21:51:54 (Nov 14, 2002)) (Wally)

Laraelyth: (*looks innocent* what?)
(21:51:59 (Nov 14, 2002)) (lizzer)

Laraelyth: *looks innocent* what? (har)
(21:53:1 (Nov 14, 2002)) (lizzer)

I've tried writing something here a few times, but at every attempt, something happens, and the post is lost before I can send it. *sighs*

So here is another attempt... ^_^

Life has been pretty hectic...especially at work. We lost a few people, so we are behind on alot of our work.
Sometimes I feel so out of place there. I try so hard to do my job, but inevitibly, I end up screwing things up. I'm not used to feeling like I can't do anything right...at least not at work. But I'm not posting to bitch about work, because overall I'm happy there.

I've made some pretty good friends there, and it's nice to know that people actually like me there (as opposed to thinking I'm just a bitch as I have been called before)

We had a few halloween parties with different people at work. It was a lot of fun. I went as a fallen angel. Maybe I will get the pictures up on my website eventually.

I went over to Shaun's today and spent most of the day there. We watched Dungeons and Dragons again....I guess the awfulness of that movie had faded from our minds, but we were painfully reminded by the hideous overacting in the film...especially by the villain. (muahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! *ahems* sorry)
It was nice to have a day off though and not DO anything but be lazy..I need more days like that *sighs*

So, there it is..more when I get a chance.
