   I'm in Miami, FL and my family and I are ok!
First off, hurricane denis did not do that much harm to southern fl. The Keys were hit a little worse than we were. The outer bands of denis reached us. It was rain and wind. The worst gusts were 70 mph. The most damage the southern fl (like miami) had were trees falling over and some minor flooding. Don't let the news fool you. Cuba got it full force, we didn't luckily. Even if it did come here, I would be perfectly safe. My grandparents have through lots of hurricanes in this very house, Andrew being one of them. We pray for the folks in Alabama, Louisiana, and the Florida pan handle. Hopefully it doesn't return to being a categorey 4... or it could be 10 times worse.

Ok... so far I have had a good time here. Its a change from WV, I guess I needed it too. I'm more relaxed. I don't feel.. i don't wanna say rushed or hurried but those are the closest words I can say to what I feel. Even though I feel this, theres no place like home... plus I'm starting to develope home sickness.

My grandparents have mixed feelings about Mason. But it wont influence me one way or the other about our relationship. I think the whole Wind family excluding me thinks the worst. I know in my heart we can make it past any hurdle and we have so far.

Random thoughts:

I'm getting off the patch, its pointless when I'm going to behave.

I have a job interview when I get back from Fl.

3 day until I'm home in WV

I might be having a pool party for my 18th b-day party.

It must be really hard to shop for...

I miss bowling!!!

Ok saying my goodnights because its late and brain dead

LOVE YOU Mason
Sweet dreams
much love

   It feels like I'm moving away...
In about an hour I'm catching a plane to go to FL for 8 days. It stinks now, even more so because I have a boyfriend. I didn't know how much I'm in to him, until I woke up this morning to realize I wont be seeing him for at least 8 days straight. He did camp for 5, but this is almost double that...
Arg...... I don't wanna go!!!!!

Mason and I made up Saturday, or at least I think we did. We spent Saturday, Sunday, and Monday together. I love being with him, there's never enough time in the day tho. I never can get enough of him. Terry asked me "Are you tired of Mason?" Its not a rude question or anything because before Mason I would get tired of my b/f really quickly. I responded "I, actually, cannot get enough of him." Which being Terry said eeeewwwww. LOL Thats step-fathers/dads for you.

Random stuff:
Shower? I was thinking the other day, showers kind of are killers in a way. Not like murdering killing, but memory killing. Say you had a good day with your b/f or g/f, you get in the shower, doesn't it feel like that whole day is getting washed away? Like all the good times and happenings in the day are just getting rinsed away? I like showers but the more I think about it, the lousier its to take showers. Don't worry I'm still going to bathe, I just had to throw my opinion out there.

Well I guess I should finish up here and prepare to leave.

I LOVE YOU MASON

CONGRATS Z, ON YOUR G/F!

MUCH LOVE

And hopefully I can update while I'm in FL!

More love

peace

   I'm a horrible girlfriend. ::tears::
Well I was just going to update this past week but I'm still upset over this evening. I went bowling with my friend Will in St. Albans. I did fairly well in bowling, I bowled a 112, 141, 146, 152, 171, and 175. I beat Will 4 out of 6 games, it was cool because he normally kills me in bowling. We caught up and talked about Pat and his g/f, me and Mason, and (blah) my father. Mason called while we're bowling, I said hello and told him I was bowling with Will. I told him I'd call him when I got home.

I got home and ate my freshly bought cookies-n-cream ice cream from walmart and got online. I picked up my cell to call him and he IMed me. He was pissed. I didn't realize me going bowling with one of my bowling friends would make him mad. The only thing we did was bowl and chat. I guess it was my fault for not telling him I'm going out with Will to bowl. Mason consideres it a date, I didn't think much about it. I forgot how protective Mason actually is. Its my fault. Mason and I talked, well sorta, on the phone. I was trying to apologize and I was getting upset and afraid he was going to break up with me. I was so upset I was in tears. The conversation was going no where and I told him I'm going to get ready for tomorrow.

I went upstairs crying full force and Mom and Terry thought he broke up with me, which he didn't. I talked to them and they calmed me down and Terry explain a guys point of view. Girls think way differently than boys do. I thought Will and I going bowling was no big deal. Mason saw it as a date. I come to this conclusion, I am an asshole and a fool not to consider my boyfriends reactions. Hell, I've never been in this long of a relationship, maybe I'm not girlfirend material. I'm an idiot and I shouldn't even be with a guy as wonderful as Mason.

I apologized once again and heres what I said and truly ment:
"I'm really sorry you were right, I was wrong. I wasn't thinking and I should have told you before hand. I swear up and down and on the bible nothing happened. We talked about you and I, and how well we've been doing in our relationship. He told me he's extremely happy to see how happy I been with you. He also said he's never seen me happier. I want you to know I'm still head over heels in love with you. I'm sorry for all trouble I've caused, I feel terrible about it. I love you and I'll see you tomorrow"

I suck at this girlfriend thing. Hopefully things go better tomorrow, I pray.

   Who would have thought... Magic???
Just to put it simply, the past few days (except Sunday) didn't go well. On Saturday mom and I got into a fight and ruined my mood for the whole day, which stank because I hung out with Mason, and it felt like I kinda brought him down. We went to Molly's party and had a good time considering the few little joke aimed at me... wrong day to do it. I think Molly still had a good party, and I didn't ruin my relationship with Mason all in the same day. Heck, if I was him, I wouldn't take it and dump me on the spot. He didn't and thats why I'm so crazy for him. I guess he sees past my faults and sees something good in me.

Today was such a better day! I was with Mason all day and I semi learned magic. Its actually an addicting game. Of course, I'm only going to remember how to use the deck I was taught on. I'm thinking about looking it up on the net and brush upon it and see if I can play without Mason's help next time. I want to play like he and his friends play, well Z anyway. A few from my former high school aren't the greatest.

I found a new poem that was inspired by Mason and I exactly 3 days before we started dating:

Is it Real? 5-22-05

Is it real?
This experience in life
where everything is wonderful
This feeling I have had
When I am with him.
A stomach tied in knots
Every time he is near
Every time he talks to me
Every time we flirt.
Then came prom
And the after party.
It felt as a dream
I asked myself
Is it real?
What we might have?
The day flew by
As fast as a dream.
Did he really hold me,
Stick with me,
And kiss me?
Was his comforting smile
And comedic personality real?
Is he real?
I just wanted to scream,
"Pinch me!"
"This can't be real."
This unbelievable time
In my life
ha brought extreme happiness
to my hopeful spirit
Has brightened my soul.
God thank you
For bringing him
Into my starved life.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate my writing??? I think I'm going to stop here and get ready for bed, its late!

Send my love to you Mason!

Much love

Peace

   It was just a bad day
I woke up late and was late to Molly's to clean.

Locked my keys in the car while it was running.

Terry got under my skin once again.

Mason didn't call me all day, which made me worry and second guess my judgement. He call @ 12 am this morning thankfully. It really made me say THANK GOD. He was having a good time with friends. Thats exactly what I wanted him to do.

Now I must sleep so I can get up early and make a few spare keys to my car and work at the American Red Cross tomorrow, which is actually today.

Good news ~~~> Mason comes home tomorrow!!!!!

Love you Mason

Sweet Dreams

much love

   2 days until I see my beloved Mason
Good news ^^^^^^^^^

I was waken up by Mason to only be cut off by my stupid phone. I honestly went back to sleep and slept until 1 pm. I love sleeps like that! During the soap operas I wrote thank you cards to everyone that sent me a graduation gift, finally. I have 3 left to do.

My dear cat Angelina brought me a rare skink into the house alive. (A skink is a lizard, not a snake) Luckily, she decided to play with it in the bathroom, where I could keep it in the bathroom. I tossed the cat in the shower and closed the sliding door to trap her in while I could catch the skink. The stupid skink wedge himself between the wall and the baseboard. I brought up the major power tools and un screwed the baseboard and pull the board away carefully, and caught the skink. It turned out to be a rare Northern Coal Skink. He survived and I kept him long enough so my step-father could see him. Then Mason called. I think that was the most excitement I had all day.

I went to church and I called to the front of the church. I was severely embarressed. It turns out since I graduated I got a cool new bible (English Version). Its really nice too. Maybe I'll start reading it.

Got home and I waited to hear from Mason, but my cell was being touchy. I stay up just so I could hear from him, and to write this entry. I got to say goodnight to him.

Mason, I love you with all my heart. Stay safe!

Goodnight!

Much Love

   Mason is at camp and we're only half way through the week.
Marshall orientation sucked. It was such a drag, but I did meet a really nice girl named Erica. She's from Parkersburg and she'll be staying in a dorm. I told her we should hang out some time. After orientation I come home and find out my parents were planning a night fishing trip, which meant Mason and I couldn't hang out my house which was planned a week in advance. Which really pissed me off. Mason and I still had a good time I guess. We went glow in the dark mini golfing which I won by 3 strokes. And we also went bowling. I'm pretty impressed how well he could bowl. He bowled a 102 and 107. Thats pretty good considering many of my non-league friends bowl horribly (no offense to you all). I bowled a 192 and a 165, I was happy with those scores, Mason has to be my good luck charm.
Sunday I spent the whole day with my handsome Mason because he was heading to camp the next day. We drove up to close to Parkersburg and visited his grandmother and her twin sister. They are like my grandparents, except my grandmother doesn't quilt. I hope I made a good impression on them. I enjoyed their company. I don't see where they said they were boring, maybe I'm just boring. lol Then we went to his grandfathers house in Lincoln county. We hung out there for awhile and thats when it hit me I wont see him for 5 days straight. It really sucked to, it ruined that evening for me. Have you noticed how fast the day goes by when your with someone your crazy for? It flew by. He got to come over to my house for like 5 mins so I can give him his gift which was like a book mark that had a picture of me and a poem on it:
~While We’re Apart~

Even though we’re apart
For a short time
I know it feels like forever.
I love you with all my heart,
And I’ll never leave your arms.
I’ll remain loyal to you
No matter how long we’re apart.
As long as the sun rises in the morning
And sets in the evening
My love will never die for you.
I send my kisses and all my hugs
To you while we’re apart.
You mean the world to me,
And nothing in this world
Can compare to you.
Love you whole heartily
Yours forever,
With love,
From your Emily

I feel I cant write well, and I'm still disappointed with this poem. I feel it doesn't say enough. But Mason liked it so I guess it was alright. We said our long goodbyes and I went home in tears, Scared to death of who knows what.

Monday was Molly's birthday and I had to volunteer at the red cross which turned out to only be an hour instead of the 3 hours. I got to talk to Seth ( a friend of the family) and catch up. I miss going to his and Brenda's get together's. They are a fun family to be with. Went over to Molly's, and had a sugar high, like always. Called mom 1 min before curfew and asked to stay the night, luckily she said yes and I didn't get in trouble. We went blockbuster a quarter til midnight and rented a couple games to play. We played them until 2:30 that morning. Before that Mason called several times and caught up, It was good to hear his voice.

I went shopping today (6/21/05) with my mommy. We went to Marshall and bought my college books. OMG I'm on the next step in my life and I'm really scared, like a deer caught in the headlights. We talked to a nice lady at the college of business to find out the holds on my account, turns out they are natural and we dont have to worry about a thing. She even offered scholarship info. We were leaving Marshall and I ran into one of my best friends from CMHS. Brad. It made my day actually, considering I've been wanting to talk to him lately. I hardly get to see him, we must make plans after his upward bound program ends. He's one of those guys that helped me through a lot of tough stuff through out high school. I'm blessed he's a friend of mine. After seeing Brad, Mom and I went to eat, then went to the mall. I got a check cashed, then we went to victoria secrets. Before we got there Mason called me (::Sigh:: its always good to hear from him. I really miss him.) At victoria secrets mom and I had a blast looking for bras and trying them on. It was crazy, who would have thought I'd have a great time shopping for bras with mom. I also got some cute panties as well. I went to Borders and mom went to sears. I bought another manga and she got herself a couple of really cute tops. I also got a book bag at kholes that I desperately needed. Mason called and asked all that I got from victoria secrets and insists that I model it. Heck I'll do it if I get to see him sooner. I'm going crazy not being able to see him and cuddle with him. I miss his touch!!! I missed his call later in the evening by a minute because I had to go to the bathroom. Maybe I should take the phone next time.

Now around 2 am have just finished talking to my daddy about professors and classes I'll have. It turns out my math instructor was my father's boss like 14 years ago. Great, I wonder how much this guy will expect from me. I also talked to william about Marshall. We might do lunch on mondays and wednesdays in between class, at least there will be one friend of mine I'll get to talk to at Marshall. Will is doing ok after his surgery, I'm still worried about him, physically he's doing fine, but mentally he's really down and I wish I knew what I could do to help. I feel so helpless in these situations. We might hang out Friday evening hopefully.

Its late and I need some rest

Love you SO much Mason

Sweet dreams

Much love
