Family, Happy, Sad...

It’s been a long week or so and I’ve been really busy so I have not been posting as often as I’d like. Late last week my parents were in town for my mom’s appointment with a doctor at Virginia Mason. It was nice to see them and good news came from my mom’s appointment. On Thursday night my parents and I went out for a nice sushi dinner before heading back to my place to chat away most of the evening before we all had to retreat to our respective bedtime rituals.

Come Friday (after a long day at work of hurry up and wait) I headed home and ate dinner with my parents again. This time we just did takeout and spent most of the evening chatting. I wish I lived closer to them – it’s always good to see them, and its frustrating to only see them a couple of times a year. It’s weird that we never got along that well as I was growing up, but now that I’m moved out I can’t see enough of them. After they left I went out shooting with my friend Tye in Belltown. I don’t spend much time down there so it was neat to go exploring with him and find some interesting details and scenes to capture.

Saturday was a mixed bag for me. I woke up early to have a parting brunch with my parents before they headed back to Walla Walla. That was fun, and Tombro dropped by Charlie’s and said hi to them. I spent most of the day crashed out on my couch till Brien called me at 6:00 and invited me to go to a suspension event. It’s something that I have always been curious about, but never seen or done. It was really cool to see the process and confirmed to me that it’s something that I want to try.

It was really good and bad seeing Brien. It was great to see him and hang out with him for 7 hours, but at the same time it reminded me how much I miss him, and made me realize that I’m still in love with him. It’s tough being in love with someone that for whatever reason can’t love me back. I know he has a lot on his plate right now, but it’s still frustrating.

More to come – I just need to find the time to write!
