ok, so I know this isn't the place to put my normal non-dating stories, but I kind of having an interesting new thing man related, thanks tooooooo ALISON.
Heres' the scoop. She got me thinking about how she reconnected with S from school.

Soooo, I started my own facebook and omgosh, I met up with so many friends from school that I've been trying to search for FOREVER. It's been so awesome! I have like over two dozen friends either back in San Antonio or in the near vacinity. They are all pulling me to get back to Texas and I'm seriously seriously considering it now. I toyed with it during the summer, but now I think I'm so ready, because I can plan better and not feel so pressured about the what if of the job.
I'm unsure if my sister is very excited, because I totally let her down two weeks before moving by telling her I'll hold off, so now I told her I'm really going to begin taking action of a plan and she wasn't as excited. I think she is just going to do the wait and see factor and that is totally ok. It takes a few announcements from me, to finally make the leap.
Anywhoooo, I've been totally keeping track with my friends and we are making all these plans for the holidays, since i'll be in Texas during that time and doing interviews. One of our friends and I'm not sure how it all started, but one of the guys on facebook, who I went to school with, but didn't know then, had a pic of germany on his board and we got to talking. Well, since then we've been emailing almost every day for the last 4 days. He seems very nice and my friends adore him, which means I'll like him up front and center too. Anyway, it's not a huge deal or am I even thinking about anything, but I found it interesting about how we met. Online, but not online. Ya know? We think it's great to get know one another over email for the next two months by just becoming friends and then he keeps saying: who knows. I tell him not to read into emails, because it can cause both parties to be disillusioned, but positive side, we can learn about each other more before we meet. We all have a holiday reunion planned, so of course he'll be their with all of my other friends. I just found it cool and maybe a way to reconnect with someone is an idea that someone else can use. HOWEVER, stay away from the married. Make sure single is listed. :)

I don't think I told anyone yet, but Alex's father and her grandmother are no longer talking to her. She wrote a letter to her father about how upset shes' been that her father is a dead beat, that he sucks, he isn't even a dad to her and she's tired of his empty promises and lies. THE JERK, gives the letter to his mother (her grandmother) and the (I guess) grandmother flips out and she hasn't written, called or spoken to us in two months. Alex didnt' even get a birthday card. NOTHING. DD's been hurting for the 8 years since that jerk entered her life and now the dead beat even ruined her only family left on her dads side, by tattle telling on her. What an immature jerk. And I am soo disappointed that her grandmother could do this to a child. Her and I used to talk about the day that DD might flip out on her father. The grandmother warned DD's father and now shes' sticking to him????!!!!

ANYWAY!!! Therefore, we are RID of that drama. It was the only reason I didn't move and now it's the perfect opportunity.

What a shame for Alex that her grandmother and father have let her down like that.

It is a total blast! What's weird is ALL my friends are single again! They all go out and party together again like the old days! So weird. So it's now 7 of us ladies. I was joking how we'll all end up remaining single and living together in a big house. We are planning our yearly holiday reunion that we've done every year for the past 5 years. I went to last years and I'll go again this year before I move. I think my move will be in March. Alex is excited about it and I know Nina will miss her friends, but I think this would be better for her in the end. We dont' have any kids in the neighborhood and she loves her Aunt and Cousins. PLUS, now I can get all my friends and their kids together for play dates.

Sounds like a plan. And so great that your girls are good with it. I remember you talking about moving back there but because of family situations you didn't think it would be a good idea. Sounds like that got resolved on its own.

I've never been on facebook but had a myspace at one time and it turned out to be something else I had to keep up with.
