Mission: Open House ABORT

Well, Troy and I managed to spend an hour in each other's presence at JJ, JE, and Baby G's Open House and Hell did not freeze over. My camera malfunctioned, so I only got one good pic (JJ and his teacher.) That thing positively eats batteries!

I beleived this outing proved we can be in the same building at the same time within arm's reach of each other- though he was silent and grim most of that hour (so what's new?) The kids were a little stir-crazy having us together again, but we managed. He is NOT happy with me asking about his grandma (who will be having very risky surgery this week,) and his aunt (who was thrown from one of her horses and kicked in the head, resulting in brain swelling,) but hell! We were together 18 years! These people were my family even when my own was absent, negligent, or insane. We may be divorcing, and I am sure they would not piss on me if I was on fire, but I still love them and care what happens to them.

Anyway, it's late, I'm slightly buzzed (love those margarita wine coolers!) and missing my Steve with a passion. It seems the most natural thing in the world that he should be here, falling asleep with me (again, we just FIT. It's crazy.) But I guess I can wait until tomorrow to see him when he comes for dinner.

Remind me later to blog about going to church with him for the first time at a LUTHERAN church..... (because I truly believe you cannot know a person until you know his/her beliefs, and the deepest love two people can share is a shared love of Christ. Unity ROCKS!)

Late comment here- the church was great, much more traditional than what I am accustomed to, but a very beautiful service. And watching the peace break over that man like waves was an amazing thing during service. I could actually feel the tension release out of him as he stood beside me. It was absolutely f*cking awesome! (Wait, can church be 'f*cking' anything?)

Anyway, they have real wine for communion and they kneel alot- so I told him I can deal with the wine and getting on my knees as long as he can deal with my church's 'tongues' and the laying o of hands! Who knew Christianity could be so much fun??
