so recently my father and ex-stepmother have split up, and are getting divorced, and all that stuff. she is the mother of my little sister, maddie, and currently the legal guardian. though, with luck, that will change and she will live with my father.
my dad was born and raised here in colorado, and they moved to new mexico something like 4 years ago, for a few reasons. largely because anee had grown up there, and her family was there and that jazz. so they got a place in ruidoso, but not too long after anee moved out, and now they are going through a divorce, and my dad has realized that, though he doesnt mind ruidoso, he hates new mexico. so he is moving back. and that makes me so incredibly happy.
he has the house to sell, and he is going through all the BS that comes with a divorce, and possibly trying to get maddie. while anee used to be better equipped to be a parent, i think, she has dropped and my father has risen. in the past few years he has realized what it is that he did wrong with my brother and i. as well, he has realized he wants to be here for us, get to know us as adults, get to know his new daughter in law, and get to know his new granddaughter once she is born, which should be the middle of february. i just though about how wonderful it would be if she was born on valentines day. that way, when she grows up and starts dating and stuff, the dude will only have to remember 1 day in place of two. and given that she will be half hilling, and all of us hillings are prone to forgetting things (like birthdays, and what day it is, and sometimes our own names), it will be easy for her to remember when valentines day is! alriiiight!
so, once he settles down there, he will be moving back to colorado, though he is not entirely sure where in colorado yet. he says somewhere along the front range, and that is good enough for me. even if he did move out to say sterling, it is much easier to get to than a massive 12 hour drive to get from here down to his house now.
as well, if he moves somewhere near here, it might be prudent for me to live with him while i finish up school. that is all up in the air ofcourse, but he and i got along phenominally when i lived down there last year, and i think we could do so again. i was really happy there, and it was wonderful getting to know him as an adult, when the last time i had seen him with any reasonable frequency, i had been a child still. well, like 16 or so, but not quite an adult, as much as i thought i was at that point
past nick, you suck. you stupid, silly little bastard. i hope future nick is totally smarter and cooler than past nick was. and present nick is, though im not sure it is possible to be any cooler than i am right now.
oh dear, there goes that ego again!
