Happy Birthday Eric. You are now in your 20s. You are officially no longer an emo teenager. Just a jaded adult. Welcome to the age of you're now old, now act line one, but you can't drink to gamble in Vegas just yet--not that you're missing out on anything anyway. I hope you have a nice relaxing day. Take pictures, eat ice cream, have fun being a young 20 something. It's good to be an old young person! :D

So bebeh my love finally moved out of Beverlywood. His family and I helped the move and we got most of everything except for a few awkward items. It kind of seems surreal and abrupt, but it's finally done and he's pretty much settled in. Hopefully it's comfortable enough for him. I know it is for the better, its hard for now. I guess we were lucky to live so close to each other. Still, 18 miles isn't too bad. Not too close, but not too far either. Time apart we can use to lose weight :) and I guess I'll be better at cleaning and getting work done earlier. I've been pretty bad about that. Bebeh said that we should have weaned each other off, but I think we did the right thing by making the best of every moment we had together. We had good times at Rex despite the annoying and loud neighbors, horrible parking, rickety floors, and semi-working stove. I never did get a chance to take a picture of the crazy heater in the bathroom. I think that's my favorite and most dangerous appliance in that apartment. Either way that was good times, but I'm done with kosher.

Yesterday I also found out that my grandfather had a heart attack and had kidney failure so now he's at the hospital in the ICU. He hasn't been the heathiest person, but he kept on gaining weight since my grandmother passed away in 2006. Since then he stopped doing anything and essentially just let himself go. He no longer went fishing, didn't run errands, didn't go grocery shopping. He just stayed home and didn't even walk to the back yard or play with the dogs. It's sad how much things changed when my grandmother passed away. Even though they seemed like they fought all the time, she was the reason why he kept going. He stayed in good health and shape for her. I know at one point it became really hard on him, but I think he's at that point where he's alone and ready to let life take its course. It's kind of sad when you think about it that way, but what more is there when everyone else you knew or grew up with has died? I hope my grandfather comes out of this okay. Seeing him the way he is makes me sad even though I never had the greatest relationship with him, he's the only grandparent I have left. Whatever God's will, I guess I will accept. He seems to have plans for all of us. I just hope that I can be strong enough to take it.

My birthday this year. What a way to welcome my birthday with the begining of Lent and sacrifice. I'm getting my ashes tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it during lunch or after work. Anyway, I'll be 28 in a few hours and I'm feeling 28. It's the first time I've ever felt my real age. I guess my mental age and my real age has finally met the middle ground. I think I'm a lot happier now and more fulfilled. It's probably because I've finally at a comfortable place with my career and where I am personally. It's definitely a nice feeling. Things are going pretty well. As always there are things that could always be better or things you wish were not so hard, but life is never easy even during the best or happiest times. I've found that you have to take things as they come and often with a grain of salt (although, I don't think I've ever really understood what that meant, I think I used it correctly).

I got a pre-birthday call from my parents since I wasn't able to make it home over the weekend. Fortunately, I finished all my looming projects and I had a nice Valentines day with Bebeh My Love (yes that is his name at this time). Bebeh got my pretty creme flowers. They smell nice and fresh. We also had tri-tip, herb potatos and stirfryed veggies. It was nice. We played Super Mario Bros. Wii and got 99 lives.

Today Bebeh my love pulled a white hair our of my head. It's so symbolic of me feeling old. It's ok though. I've come to terms with my old age. I am welcoming the last two years of my twenties with gusto. Bebeh Arturo and Artura are on the horizon! Lol :)
