The best thing about Andrew visiting was maybe that he said "There are two things I REALLY want to do when I'm done with classes. 1) Learn to surf. 2) Learn to knit."

It was amazing and wonderful to spend time with Andrew off the playa. The boys have known each other a very long time, and I finally got some quality time with B's best friend. Better yet, the guys got quality time.

And I think the scariest thing was maybe that Andrew could quote my blog entries.

It's really wonderful to feel so comfortable with friends. Granted, Andrew was inherited, but what a grand inheritance. Now we have to get he and his almost-wife up here more and/or permanently.

And teach everyone to knit.

b. and i are at almost 3 years. that's amazing to me. it's the longest i've been in a relationship, and i am better than i have ever been. it is wonderful to be encouraged and loved and supported and to know there is someone amazing with the patience of a saint who's got your back and really honestly wants me to be my best. i am far from perfect (duh), but it really feels that way when you're loved very deeply. i really, really appreciate that.

valentines day is a dumb created thing. but i'm happy to have another reason to say thank you and i love you and you are the most amazing man who i adore. i love you rabbit. you are my be all end all forever. i am so happy that we will spend our lives together.

I write you poetry in my sleep.

In late afternoon sun I remember the feeling.

The words are shadows of what once was

and the twine that guides me through the maze.
