Wow, I've been meaning to come back here. It's been so long...about 9 months to be exact. Well, where do I begin. I don't even remember the last enty I wrote, but let's see....I'll try to do a blind update.
I have officially finished school!!! Hell yeah! Graduation is in 2 weeks now and I couldn't be more thrilled. I will be doing a summer program for kids for the next 2 months and then after that it's on to the job search! I want badly to relocate myself because I've been born and raised and schooled here and I would loove to spend time living in another city for a while.
Okay, the last time I talked about Kasen, we were in the kicking it stage. Wellllll......................that was a long time ago and things have surely changed. I'm happy to update that approximately 2 weeks after the day of my last entry, Hurricane Katrina happened and nearly tore New Orleans (and many other areas) apart in the process. Kasen was in school down there. On the day of the evacuation, he had decided he was just going to weather out the storm in his little apartment. But, I was gripped by worry and overcome with emotion just thinking of him being there all alone when imminent danger was close around the corner. So I urged him to take shelter at my home until the storm passed.
Well of course everyone knows that hurricane didn't just come and go. It left behind a trail of destruction and heartache. He had become without a home to go back to in New Orleans. So my family and I opened up our home for him to stay in until his university were fully equipped to accept student back.
He stayed with us for a span of 4 1/2 months and it was a weird weird situation. But it was truly a blessing for us all. The good thing I can say about it is that our relationship blossomed in a way I don't think it ever would have had things not turned out that way. We learned soo soo much about each other (the good, the bad, and the ugly we always say). Today, we share such a close relationship--its real, its good for our hearts and well being, its loving, its deep and passionate...its simply beautiful.
Well today is one of those days that you have ABSOLUTELY nothing going on and nothing planned, but you feel happy just to 'be'. I feel very blessed and happy today and I'm glad I was able to make a 'pit stop' here on the way.
