Okay. I'm back from my cousins wedding and it was nice!...
Okay, the ceremony was nice. I love my cousin. He's a cool guy and his new wife is a really sweet girl. I'm so happy that he got to have a good ceremony and a nice reception and that nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Our family, on the other hand, (extended, and whatnot) are kind of... hmm... they have their personality flaws. But who doesn't? I have plenty. It's just kind of difficult bonding with them when they don't want to let you forget what a terror you were when you were a kid, especially when they want to remind you of all that embarrassing junk right when you get there and are feeling good and just trying to have a nice time. Oh... And when you're meeting all sorts of people you haven't seen since you were five and trying to make a nice impression. Or telling all those embarrassing stories to new people before you've had the chance to meet them. or... being all passive aggressive with those new people about how you haven't got a nice career yet, while you're standing in front of them. or... laughing a harmless joke made at the reception about the way your aunt likes her kids to be the center of attention and coaches them on how to do so and then asking you to repeat it TO THAT AUNT at breakfast the next morning.

well... the ceremony was nice. Thank goodness I only have to deal with them every so often. Interesting people...
I did get to spend time with my younger male cousin who seems to get the neglectful end of the stick to his two sisters. He loves drawing and the last time I hung out with him he seemed to think I was DaVinci. I taught him a couple little tricks to help him improve and provided some encouragement on getting better. All the kids in his class tell him he stinks. I gave him these words of wisdom: Haters gonna hate.
Oh, and I drew a happy little bearded dragon at the reception for him.
ANYWAY! Nice new developments about the move. we found an AWESOME place and we're waiting eagerly to hear back from the people renting it with our breath held. It's a little worrisome that we called on Friday and haven't heard back since, but hey, it's the weekend. lets hope something happens tomorrow.
I've been thinking a lot about the future and what I want to do and have been breaking it down into tiny little chunks. The thing that gives me actual concern is that I don't know what the best way to achieve what I want is and that I'm going to get in too deep before realizing that I made a mistake. That's sort of what my last college experience felt like. I don't want to put too much strain on my family but I want to make them happy. It's this trade off of "I want to be successful"and "I want to do something that makes me happy" or "I cant do this without help" and "I don't want you guys to carry me".
Well... things are looking up. I'm gazing at an open field instead of staring at my paws. Now I just have to take some steps forward.
Love y'all.
Hugs and nuzzles till the world ends.

Also, yay for encouraging a young artist; I wish more people did!
