I got a phone call from my big sister today. She sounded so excited, which is .. kind of rare for Bryce. Nothing ever gets her going, I swear. But this did. She was nearly in tears on the phone with me and I could barely understand what she was saying. I guess I officially have a nephew. The adoption papers went through last week and this morning she got to go pick him up.


This is Braedon Christopher Jacobs. He is just three days past one month old. His mother came here from the Philippines. His father .. well, I honestly have no idea. I didn't get all the details around the adoption, just that I now have a nephew who I can hardly wait for the chance to spoil at Christmas.

Which reminds me that I am headed home to Canada over the Christmas holidays. I'll be there for two weeks starting December 20th and coming back after New Years on the 3rd. Jeni, if you don't have plans with your fam back East, you're coming with me! You have to meet Braedon, and I'm sure that B, Bryce, and Mom would love to see you.

Which reminds me .. B, you need to get your ass back here from New York for Thanksgiving. I'm making dinner!

PRIVATE ; NO ACCESS
King is back. And there's been lots of kissing. Like .. lots. I'm not really sure what that all means aside from the fact that he's a good kisser. But we've been talking a lot and spending a lot of time together. I spent the last three nights at his house, mostly to help out with Kayla since he's on crutches and can't really move around too well. He took a shot to the knee while he was gone. As in .. a gun shot. And when he got back? I punched him .. twice. And smacked him. I'm an asshole.

I really don't think that he and J will ever get along. I mean, I know that J is just being protective of me. Her opinion of him is so little basically because mine was in the beginning, too. I thought he was just some womanizing asshole who would try to get in my pants and then never speak to me again. Which .. that really has a lot to do with how he portrayed himself to people. But I always enjoyed talking to him. It's always been so easy. I just can't put my finger on when exactly it switched from being this completely platonic friendship with absolutely no interest in each other than that to .. whatever this is now.

I would like to see the two of them get along. But J is leery. None of the guys I've ever had a crush on or any sort of interest in has lasted long enough to matter. Nobody has ever managed to worm their way into the 'inner circle.' For the last five years, it's been J, B, and me. How we got so tight with my big brother, I'm not sure .. but I've always been closer to him than Bryce. And B accepted J like another little sister. Even if the two of them had like a small thing for each other in the beginning. As if I didn't know!

Anyway, I have no idea where this all goes from here. I'm not really ready for anything physical. With anyone. If that makes me a prude like Jay thinks, then whatever. I've been through enough in my life that merits prudishness. Whatever. Think happy thoughts!
END PRIVATE

I can't wait to meet my nephew in person. In fact, I think I'm gonna go do some shopping like right now for Christmas presents for the little guy. He so needs an absolutely fabulous baby wardrobe and who better to get him one?!
