- Man I love this
month. The hits just keep on comin'! Anniversary
time!!!
-
-
- I have to
admit, it's a little tough seeing the newspapers since
last year. Here's hoping next year the man has
resigned. I have kept most of the politics off
The Journey (because there are no more politics) but
rest assured, it's a part of life. We're living in
times they'll talk about in 50 years and say "man,
that must've been awful."
-
- Hell,
I HOPE they can say that.
-
- Anyway - we are in
the throws of familydom man. This is the good life.
This is the midst of a ten year period/chapter Talya
and I will hope never ends. Part of me thinks saying
that will ease the pain of them leaving, but I'm not
sure. I will say this - I have yet to truly
"miss" any age. I have it all so well documented and
on my big screen it's like you're there. If I want to
remember what Cam or Vienna was like at a month old -
I have hours of footage. But as I've said this
whole month: it's overwhelming how fun it is to spend
time with them.
And of course, 7 years ago today I met Talya.
That sure does get lost in all the kid stuff sometimes
but I hope people understand that it's because of our
great relationship that we have so much fun with the
kids. I presume that people reading/watching realize
we adore each other and this is so CLEARLY a success
story, but balancing "us" as a couple and "them" as
our kids as opposed to "us" as a family is nearly
impossible. Family time IS "us" time usually and we're
very lucky we both adore them as much as the other
does. I cannot fathom what the struggle would be
like if one of us didn't like kids. I mean,
clearly it happens... but the rift it would create
between us. Wow. Hard to believe there are couples
that deal with that on top of having children. Must
royally fuck the kids up to boot. As dysfunctional as
the relationships were around me as a kid,
I never felt unwanted or unloved. Ever. Nothing
remotely close. Everyone in my life generally liked
being around me. I can think of only one and that was
so bizarre that it stood out as THAT PERSON'S
problem, not mine. If it was one of my parents or
step-parents? Whew.
-
- So happy
anniversary to everyone! And come to think of it we've
now had 4 anniversaries as a complete family. Over
half. Crazy.
-
- Oh, and, expect
not to hear from me for a bit as Mario Odyssey will be
coming out next week. I'm so excited I can barely
stand it. Cam is gonna FLIPPPPPPPPPPP!!!
