A New Day

Yes, I am living in Sparks. A sentence I never really would have expected to type in my wildest imagination, however, I am optimistic about my life here and that is what really matters. I feel very safe and loved living here with David and Betsy, although after a week, it stills feels like I may be on vacation and heading home soon. Then I wake up in my room surrounded by my favorite things and realize oh my gosh, I am home.

Saturday everyone came over and we celebrated Jade's 15th birthday. As always with this group, the evening was filled with laughter and fun.

I met Marika, Jeremy's girlfriend and she is just a delight. She and Jeremy seem good together, so I am happy for both of them. Jeremy will graduate in May and Marika will also finish her masters at the same time.

Amber brought Kevin, and she seems to really like him. He got the stamp of approval from everyone in attendance, except maybe Jenn who seemed kind of skeptical of Amber and her choices in men.

Jenn and Richard are still going strong. Jenn is ten months away from finishing school and pretty darn happy about it as one can imagine.

Jenn and Richard brought this blow up birthday cake to decorate the space, but Jade did not get to keep it. According to Richard they have had it for several years and pull it out for every birthday celebration they attend.

This is the view from one end of the table while we played games. I am behind the flash in the window, hehehe.

This is the other side, duh.
