Vampires and Valentines

Last night was the Valentine's Day party at Ari, Jake and Brennan's house. It seems like lately we have all had a little more time to spend together and it has been great to be able to see Ari, Jake and Brennan again and to be able to get to know Kantra, Jake's girlfriend a little better. Sam and Emily - who looks gorgeous and glowing by the way, were there and since I hadn't seen Sam around in awhile, Quil and I asked him to come outside for few minutes to talk with us. We have been smelling a strange vamp around during our patrol shift. The scent is there and then it isn't. Its north and then its south. There is no rhyme or reason to it and I think that is the part that makes me the most nervous. I keep expecting it to just drop out of the sky on me while I'm on patrol. So far no one has seen it but I know its there. Anyway, Sam knows now and as alpha, he can handle it however he thinks it should be handled. I just needed to make sure he knew - enough business for the night. From here on, it was time for some fun!

Sam, Quil and I came back inside where there was food and good conversation and Beetles Rock Band! Brennan, Jake and Ari started off with a song and then it was my turn. I've never been shy about singing but that is mostly because I just sing to myself and I don't pay attention to who else is actually paying attention to me. Last night was a little different. Not only did I have to follow up Brennan - who we all know kicks butt, but it was just me actually having to sing while people were paying attention. *Gulp!* Sam, Quil and I decided to do the song Revolution and once things got going and my nerves settled, I started feeling like my old self. I was dancing and having fun. Jake was mortified and wondered how we could even be related *Laughs*. Next song was Jakes. He sang Hey Jude and I can honestly say he sounded GREAT! We all did a few more songs and headed into the kitchen for more wings, potato skins and cupcakes!

I don't know if it was the cupcakes or the fun but I was all of a sudden exhausted and knew I had to patrol in just 3 hours. :P Quil was ready to leave to so we said our goodbyes, thanked everyone and left to sleep. I told him I would see him later and got in my car to go home. I pulled out of the drive and started thinking that I wasn't ready to tell him good night yet so I went to Quil's house. Don't get the wrong idea here. I sleep so well when I am next to him. I think it must just be knowing that he is there or just falling asleep happy that makes it different. He says I smile in my sleep - I'm not surprised. * blushes* I asked him if I could stay and he said yes so I borrowed one of his t-shirt and crawled into bed and slept like a baby until it was time for us to patrol. It was a great night.

This is Halloween

Its Halloween, which means weird and inexplicable things are BOUND to happen, right? I mean, ghosts and goblins and purple Jello shots will do that to people. Not to mention really sexy pirate costumes when your boyfriend has this scruffy pirate beard thing going on. And then you and your roommate find these super cute Ninja Turtle costumes that match! Oh, and then your boyfriends brother, he's going to bar tending school and needs to try out his skills. And fog. Don't forget the fog. ::headdesk:: So, that's the setup. Thursday night was the Halloween party that Quil and Embry had been planning for a few weeks. Seth, Collin and Brady were there with their band and so excited to be able to play. The decorations were up and the band was playing and there was fog. Lots and lots of fog - so thick that you had to swat it from your face and choked if you breathed too deeply, but it was really pretty perfect because Halloween is like that. Things are supposed to by mysterious an

He Stayed

Between patrolling, the diner, my classes, and trying to make time to sleep I feel like my time is pretty well consumed. I had been studying and patrolling and all weekend long, my dad was out of town so the house was painfully quiet, and I needed a break. I went downstairs to the pantry and found everything I needed to make lasagna and brownies. So, to give myself a brain break, I started to cook something besides cereal and PB&J for dinner. All that food, a quiet house, now all I wanted was company so I texted Quil and asked him to come over for dinner. Thats when the idea hit me that this was a date night so I decided to light some candles and turn on music. Everything was set, dinner was ready and then Quil came over and everything was perfect. Since the weather was great, we ate dinner on the back patio. I'm still amazed at how comfortable and easy things are with him. Part of me feels like I am breaking some unspoken rule by feeling the way I do, but the rest of me is too

Every Little Thing is Gonna Be Alright

Its been just over a month since I came home from Jamaica. If you remember, I went there with Josh, a gorgeous dress and a feeling like I was locking myself into a life that I couldn't picture.  The planning, the bring vision of a life with him, the hope; I didn't feel or see any of it. The resort was beautiful, complete with a sparkling blue Caribbean and tropical flowers and Josh was beaming with excitement; I was in my room struggling to breathe and practicing to keep my head together long enough to get the "I do" out with some amount of conviction. Josh had gone to the lobby to wait for me. It was just He and I and the preacher he had hired on the island to marry us. We were scheduled to be there for just over a week to celebrate the start of what he wanted to be a lifetime together. I tried. I had been trying for a year and nothing felt okay. I wanted to be at home. I wanted to escape because nothing felt right. I wanted Quil and this felt like the end
