New Beginnings

I haven’t had a chance to hunt through any records or archives yet. This SWAT Leader job is turning out to be much harder than I thought, but I’ve been so tired that I’ve been sleeping like a rock! My only dreams have been good ones, which I am incredibly thankful for.

Marissa was in my kitchen cooking a roast when I got home tonight, she said I need looking after before I turn into a wraith, and she insisted that we go for a walk when the dishes had been done. She’s an incredibly nice person, you know, and a good cook, too!

I still can’t believe I had the courage to do that! Marissa just laughed, however, and gave me a hug before she left.

You know, she makes me feel funny, kind of warm inside, and I think I’m falling in love with her. No, actually, I think that’s yesterday’s headline! I can’t stop thinking about her, and I know she feels the same about me. We’re going to go out for dinner tomorrow night, and I hope it goes well. I want to tell Mother about her, but I want to be sure of everything first.

Speaking of Mother, she’s had all of her tests, and is just awaiting the results now. She and Father said that they may be coming for a visit soon, which I’m quite looking forward to, I’ve missed them a lot since I moved here, even though we talk on the phone most nights. Also, I want to introduce them to Marissa! I’m sure they’ll like her a whole lot!
Did you know that she wants to be a business tycoon? She’s certainly got her dream all sorted out, hasn’t she? Not that I haven’t, of course. I’d like to have six children, watch them get married, and have families of their own. The thought of a big family appeals to me tremendously.

(Six kids?!? That boy’s crazy! In case anybody’s wondering about the first picture, Marissa pinched him first!)
