We
never got divorced. Filled out the
paperwork, never filed it. The original
paperwork from '05 is in Jessica's file
cabinet somewhere in Ohio, long since out
of date. For one reason or another we were
just too lazy to get it together. Our
families just love that. They're convinced
we're both insane, but who isn't anymore.
We've just gone about our business the
past few years, always keeping in contact
and maintaining our friendship. The love
and respect between us has never
faltered.
Of course there
are new people in both of our lives and both
considerably more serious than previous relationships.
Jeff even proposed to Jess a few weeks back. Can't
imagine what it's like to propose to a married
woman... oh wait, yeah I (palaur) can. LOL. I
figured the best way to celebrate that was to invite
Jess and her new fiancee to Los Angeles! Stay with me
and Donna for a week! Jess could stay in the house
again for old time's sake!
So a couple weeks
ago they came out and we just had a ball. It wasn't
strange at all to have Jess back in the house again
after all this time. Everyone really got along well.
Jeff and I had met before and we're all videogame
nuts so we had fun playing the Wii and the 360. Jeff,
who's an auto mechanic, even taught me how to do a
brake job on my car! Was I concerned about letting him
do my brakes? Of course not! I'm only married to his
fiancee. Why would he want to see me hurt in anyway?
Oh, wait - you think he'd have a motive to see me die
in some horrible car crash so he could finally marry
her? Sheeeeeeeit. That would only happen in
Hollywood...
...of course
I do live in Hollywood but
NAHHHHHHHHH.
The week was
filled with fun restaurants and Jess getting to see
her old friends. To top it off, Jess and Jeff went
home with my beloved Nintendo Wii. Even though I've
been a lifelong Nintendo addict, and have every game
system ever made, I happily made their day (they
haven't been able to get one in Columbus) knowing
they'd get a lot more fun out of it than I would.
So yeah... good
times. I will admit however, things are clearly
different between Jess and I. It's clear we're on the
right paths for us, apart, and it's heartwarming. Of
course I should probably get into all that in the
next entry as it is the first of April.
