Hey Shorty –
How you doin? Can’t wait to see you on Friday. We’ve got the 20-week appointment. We’re halfway there! Mom keeps feeling your little butt kicking her. Sometimes I get lucky and you’re kicking out so I can feel it too but most of the time it’s inside.
Last night mom and I went to dinner with Kate at the Road House. She gave us some details about the breakup with Dan and what she’s up to now. I feel really bad for her. I’m also really happy that her and mom are becoming good friends. I don’t know how that will impact my friendship with Dan, but time will tell. Speaking of Dan, I still haven’t heard from him. I’m giving him time to process and go through his stuff. I definitely want to be there for him, but I’m also still disappointed in how it sounds like things played out. We’ll see what his side of the story is, I just really really hope he doesn’t get himself into any trouble. Maybe I should put my disappointment aside and just be there for him as a friend. It’s confusing.
This weekend, mom and I were talking for real for real about where to live. And I pointed out that in order to 1) live on my salary, 2) have mom stay at home with you, 3) afford anything else in life – Georgia is probably our best bet. We were talking more about it today and we both said that we know what the smart move is, but that doesn’t mean it’s the easy move. I was also talking to Grandma this weekend and I can tell she doesn’t want us to move. She wants us to stay as close to them on Staten Island as possible. But I don’t understand why she likes it so much. I’d imagine that if we move, they would want to be close and move too. I also learned that Grandpa is retiring this year. Cost of living would be cheaper for them in Georgia, too. I think we’re closing in on a decision. Scary stuff.
Mom and I have our 2-year anniversary coming up on September 29th. I’m thinking maybe a little weekend away to Florida. Just to get some beach/pool time and warm weather. Just really thought of that today so still need to do research. I want to do one more little trip just me and her before you get here.
Alright bud – keep it real.
Love you big time,
Dad
P.S. I feel like I mention Dan and Kate a lot – so I included what they look like.
