Hello 2010
I’m not much of a blogger on here, I guess. Mostly I’m blogging these days on http://girlwithcomputer.com. I talk about Alan a bit on there, but it’s not a blog focused on our marriage, that’s for sure.
I will admit, I think it is very healthy to constantly talk and think about my relationship with Alan. The reality is, though, that this doesn’t always happen. Every day there are things to do, routines to be completed, boxes to be checked: I don’t always consider, appreciate, or properly vent about the emotions, issues, and positives of our marriage. Is this good? Maybe sometimes. Is it bad? Maybe sometimes, too. I think in general most of these issues are more private than blog-worthy. Still, I sometimes don’t even confront these things privately. I know that marriage requires confrontation (on a reasonable level) and I know in that respect, I sometimes choose convenience and the path of least resistance rather than confrontation. Really, this can be a very bad thing. And I think saying it *out loud* will remind me that I shouldn’t do it. I have a very understanding and wonderful husband who listens to my concerns; and god dammit, I need to take advantage of that. :)
On a more concrete front, we may be moving BACK across the country sometime soon. We’ve made some interesting and cool friends in Rochester, and we’ve come to love and hate the place for many reasons…. but I think we both agree change is imminent and welcomed. And the bay area of CA is looking good for jobs. We’ll keep our fingers crossed in the meantime. I’d personally love to live up near or in San Francisco for a little while. Our dogs are probably ready for that, even. They are *officially* potty trained, and deserve a post of their own. We’ll see how active I can be on this blog. Probably not very. But I’ll update at least biyearly for my own records. :)
Love you, Alpal.
