Summer is coming to an end!=( But really who cares. It's not like we did anything worthwhile remembering. We've been such a boring couple ever since we became husband and wife. I've been going out here and there. But it's not the same w/out your companion there with you. Kai's such an old fogey. He never wants to do anything except play video games!! Or take Annie out to the park. He claims he's trying to save money by not going out, but I don't understand it when his cousin calls him to go up North, he gets all excited like it's the funnest trip ever and he has to go. But when I suggest, "hey, let's go up north to Duluth, he'd be like, "For what? What's over there? It'll be boring!" Goodness! I sure blew up on him! It's fun when his cousin goes, but when I suggest it, it's boring? Ugh,
I told my husband that he needs to go out into the world and make some real friends. Friends who'll respect you and your family and will love your spouse as their own sister. And friends who'll always be there for you. Then he goes on and says "blah blah blah, it's your family in the end that'll be there for you, blah blah." But if that was the case,...then why isn't he as close to him fam as he claims? We go back home to CA, and not once does he ever lift up a finger to call his cousins to come hang out, or tell them he's in town and wants to go visit! It's always them calling. When his family does something FUN together, he hides away from the gathering. UGH. I told him, in the end, when we're old like our parents, don't expect your own mom and pops to be the ones calling relatives to come join us when we do special events. If you're not going to make friends now, you're going to be alone in the end.
Anywho, that's just my vent of the day. Other than that, my bunny has been on my mind lately. Oh, I love her so! I thank God everyday what a great gift he has given me. I miss her so much everyday while I'm at work. Whenever I come home, I would hug and kiss her and look at her fall asleep every night. She's such a good girl at going to sleep. It's probably because of our routine: I'll grab her a small bottle of milk. Give her one of her blankys and tells her gently: "Goodniye! Swee-dreams! I lah u!" And she repeats it back to me, as I'm singing to her.
We just took on a death case with 4 injured. After a while, you start to emotionally attach yourself to these clients. There was one that will always make my heart cry evertime I see the parents of the toddler Hmong girl who was struck and killed by a truck when she ran after her dad. I always think of my little girl and my family whenever I see death cases. About a week ago, an attorney mailed some documents along with photos to us. As I was opening the mail, and flipping through the pages, I saw an old Hmong man lying on the street with his head buried into the cement. He was an old man walking to the store, when a school bus ran him over. I was pretty shock and devastated when I saw those pictures. There was blood and brain splattered everywhere. That whole day, I was pretty shaken up, because even though they're just photos, it's very chilling to look at considering that person died. Even in videos, I cannot bear to watch those gruesome videos where things went wrong and that person got injured or killed. My husband watches those quite often and if I come across them, I just look away. I can't bare to see it. Life is so precious, and everyday I remember to thank God for not taking the wonderful people in my life away yet.
Kai and I have decided to lease our apt. for one more year. The rent did not go up, and we both love it here. So we're staying one more year again!! It'll be depressing driving an hour to work back and fourth, but I'll survive! As far as school goes, I've dropped the BS program. One of the paralegal's I talked with at work went to the same college and highly recommended that I not waste anymore money putting me in debt when the program's not even ABA approved. That's another 20 grand added onto my 45grand. Man stupid school. I knew I should have just stuck to a community college! Even if I do get a great job with my BS degree, the pay wouldn't be as high as a person who did graduate from an ABA approved program. So she has a point there. Experience is what will get me to a higher level, and that's what I'm doing. All I need now for my Associates is just an intern, which my attorney saids I can def. use my job as an intern!
