i just told my dad that sara and i are probably going to be moving in with each other. i am so nervous. i figured while i was at it i'd explain why i don't believe in God and ask him his views on free will and revelation. HA! i am so nervous about it now!!
you know that fear of disapproval from your parents? i really hate feeling that. still, i'm learning to deal with it because i have to live in a way i think is right. it may not be the same as their views but it'll at least be reconciled with my conscience.
i figure that if micah's folks can wrap their heads around him marrying a girl he's only known for a few months my parents can get over my moving in with my girlfriend and best friend of three years, right???

You go guy! It's your life...and if you are of an age to live it...so let it be lived. Parents should be glad that you are working and making a life for yourself. My son is making the University his work...therefore that translates into staying at home. I want him to soar like a bird out of hell and move the heck out! I's like to say he needs his privacy...but it is I who needs the privacy. Leaving the nest is a very good thing.

haha. the nest has been left but the funding for school is still a bit up in the air. and i can't say it's completely above my parents to bribe me...
but it is my life! and it's going to be fun! other than the living like a pauper with nice furniture...

While I still worked I paid for his education. I stopped working 2 years ago because of my health...so my in-laws took over...(they're loaded). He could have gone anywhere and they'd have paid for him to live there...well...they'd have paid for it all. But he's extremely shy...which leaves me to wonder if he'll fly the coop. I'll go insane it he doesn't. He's so lazy about taking care of business that he hasn't used his scholarship from the State of California yet. He's got one year left...and I gave him an ultimatum about using it...or it just reverts back to the state. How dumb is that? He told me today that he had the only A in his calculus class (finals) and it threw off the curve for the others. The teacher didn't even know who he was...because apparently he isn't in the class much. He doesn't need to be I guess...my big math nerd. He shows up for the tests and a little homework and that's calculus for you.

i suck at math. but i rock at science. odd combination. honestly, i'd be your son if it weren't for sara living out here. it's the only reason i really moved out, it was the only concrete part of my planning for school and life and everything. and what a good reason it was! i was honestly really nervous how we'd do when i got here but it's been the same loving relationship it was before. that was a huge relief.

I'm really happy for you. I think you work hard for what you have and can appreciate life at the same time. I went wrong somewhere...both my son's think I'm weird. Somehow I'm not like other mothers. My oldest son cannot appreciate life...everything is a downer. At least he lives on his own. My 2nd son doesn't want to get very far from the refrigerator...he's 6'5"...I call him 'big foot'...he hates me. I have raised them with quite a bit of freedom of choice...and I honestly think they resent me for it. Mostly because they want to be able to blame someone else for their mistakes. That I don't not accept. So right about now you are probably thinking..."jeez...I'm glad she's not my mother!" Heh heh!

i don't know, i never really have blamed my parents for anything. they really weren't there because they were too busy dealing with my brother's mental illness clear through my high school years. they've only now even started to care about what i'm doing and why. and they really just don't understand me, i don't think. they've got this narrow view and just won't see it the way i do. that's ok, that's what parents are for isn't it? i liked not having much parenting because i really haven't ever needed it. i'm plenty curious but somewhat cautious on my own. i never really enjoyed drinking or drugs in excess and wasn't a partier.
