The Important Ones

I always need a visual to really get what people are talking about, so here you go...

This is a picture of my boyfriend E and me at Halloween this past year. He apparently had no idea how into the holiday I get and was planning to attend my friends party wearing his everyday clothes. When he saw me in my full on Columbia from Rocky Horror getup he succumbed to pressure and went as a 30's mobster.

The boyfriend and I met at work about two years ago. I was dating someone else at the time, but it was obvious to me that he was meant to be in my life somehow. After my previous relationship ended the two of us started dating and have been together ever since. He's even moved with me, twice, in the past six months. With all the craziness that has surrounded us during our short relationship I wouldn't have thought we would still be going strong; I truly believe that this is my one great love.

This is my cat Adin Nia, Adin for short. She's been with me since I first moved out on my own about two years ago. When my mom first came to the realization that I was really going to be moving she went with me to the animal shelter and we adopted both Adin and her twin sister Mystic.

Adin's been a great companion for me. She's crabby and mean, which is exactly the type of cat I love. But she's also a cuddler and always protects me from people. When the boyfriend first started staying the night at my apartment Adin would always dip her cloth balls into her water dish and conveniently misplace them in his boots. Since he and I have moved in together Adin has taken to placing one of the wet balls on his side of the bed whenever he and I have an argument, just so he knows who he's dealing with...

My family at my younger brother's graduation last May. My family and I are pretty close, even after my move away from my home state six months ago. We talk on the phone pretty often, and since my mom has family out here my parents come to visit a lot. I'll be going home to see them here at the end of July...

And finally... A picture of me and my two oldest

friends. I've known Heidi, the one in the middle, since we were in preschool and she has been my bestfriend since we were in first.


Brit, the one on the left became friends with Heidi in kindergarten, and when I became friends with Heidi in first I also gained another friend. We've all been friends the entire time growing up, and even though I've moved away from home I still keep in touch with Heidi regularly. She's living in our home town and is able to keep me up to date with Brit who has just had her first daughter. I wish I could be around to see them more, but I'll take what I can get for the time being.

So those are the people that I talk about most often. Just thought it would be good to put faces with names.
