Wallowing In Love

I don't have a ton of time but I wanted to take a few minutes to let ya'll know what what was going on in my life.

My cousin arrived after having a breakdown of her vehicle that she fixed herself with a bit of help from a gentleman who worked at the place she broke down in.

Not two hours after she alerted her family to where she was she recieved a call saying that her two boys were in a roll over car accident. They are all right physically but the oldest is in a bit of legal trouble over it as he was driving 60 in a 35 zone, he was under the influence of marijuana, and he wasn't even driving his own vehicle.

His father is still going to leave him alone there and go to Montana as he had planned to do before. I am furious over this but there is nothing I can do and frankly, I am too tired of the situation to give a damn what he does.

My cousin on the other hand has contacted the company she works for and asked for a transfer. She has contacted the store managers and is waiting for the paperwork to be recieved by the store here so she can start here.

While I was at work, Chris took her to pick up the divorce papers. She has asked me to help her fill them out so we will do that tomarrow while we are waiting at the college for Chris to finish his test for this week.

When I came home from work tonight my house smelled like heaven. Chris served my dinner hot and fresh off the stove. He had made steaks with baby portebello mushrooms, corn on the cob, and fresh cut watermelon for desert. I felt like a princess. The house was cleaned and my cousin was doing up the dishes. (This is the girl who's house could go three weeks without having dishes done up!)

We've been doing alot of talking about what works for us to keep the house cleaned and what doesn't. She is very anxious and excited to get out of our house and into her own place. I am so excited for her because I am seeing so many changes in this beautiful woman that I adore.

All my life, she has been there for me. Maybe soon I will go more into our relationship. She is the closest thing that I have to a sister. Seeing her brought all of that back and I can't even describe the feeling I got when I wrapped her arms around me and burried my face into her long beautiful hair. It was like stepping into the only part of my past that was good and pure. It was as if I could smell the mountains on her and I felt the tears rolling down my face and I felt her shoulders shake and knew that she too was affected by the distance that had been forced on us for the last several years.

She called her brother and sister and they both came down on her for leaving. Although they both had to admit that they wouldn't let her stay with them because they had no room. She was great, told them all in a very calm, very collected voice that she was sorry she had hurt them but leaving was something she had to do for herself. It has been great having her here and I am so excited about the future ahead of us.

I am wrapped in love by two very special people right now and I am refusing to allow myself to do anything but enjoy it.

Just to let you know I'm still following your odyssey, Nikki. I'm wondering how long it will take your cousin to figure out your D/s lifestyle!
