Well, long time no see everyone. I am posting today. Have no idea if and when I will do this again, but for today~~~ I am here.
This past week, we expiereced some rather severe flooding due to Hurricane Alex spinning his was through the Atlanitc. The first hurricane of the season, many more to come...or so they expect. Monday and Tuesday were awful. The one and only highway here turned into a small pond and some residents were forced to move else where until all the water subsided from their front yards. Mine and Mark's yard and home are on rather high ground, so we were lucky in the respect.
Mark and I took my nephew and neice "School Clothes Shopping." JCPenny had a decent sale going and we manage to get them each some nice out fits at cool sale prices. My nephew went for an eye exam and much to his dismay, he is now wearing glasses. Everyone has to constantly remind him to wear them, of course, but in time I think he will get used to them. he picked a nice looking frame for them and he actually looks very handsome in them. He won't hear of it. LOL.
The annual fireman and rescue squad carnival has arrived. We all went and had a great time. I take it as a sign of getting older that I found myself at the BINGO table with my mother and was enjoying it more than anyone there.
Mark and I have been in serious discussions about having a child. I have mentioned in the past our desire to extend our family. Now, the ball is rolling. We are checking out our options. Mark would like to father a child, the old turkey baster method, with a serogate mother, and that is fine with me. Then, we also have the option of adopting, which we both are ok with as well. With gay adoption being such a taboo it seems, we may have to do this on the down low, so to speak. Mark has checked into adoption and may be able to pull some strings to go past a waiting list that some have. So, we shall see. I will keep everyone posted on that situation. Next Saturday is our anniversary. I can't believe it. Time sure flys.
