And it came to me then that every plan
Is a tiny prayer to Father Time
–”What Sarah Said” by Death Cab for CutieLately, I’ve been pondering my future–what I want to do with my life. And I have come to no definite conclusions. I have a good gig, being the assistant manager of the family store and all, but somehow, I just don’t feel satisfied. Is that what I want to do for the rest of my life? I mean, I will be set; I don’t ever have to worry about having a job unless something completely unexpected happens. But then there’s this restless feeling…the feeling that I would like to experience life outside of this small town. I’d maybe like to go to college, travel, backpack across the North Pacific. Hardly any of my friends have stayed behind since high school. They’ve all gone off to college and the only time I see them is on the occasional weekend and a few months out of the summer. In addition, am I going to find my soul-mate here? Jessica and I are back together and things are going great, but there are no guarantees in life. Besides, I don’t think she wants to stick around here forever.
But, I want to keep this store in the family. I am the only son. Hell, I’m the only child. My parents have no one to pass it to, other than me, save a few cousins on my dad’s side.
So, what do I do? I’ve talked to a few folks about it, Quil Ateara and Chief Swan, and they think I should stay. I haven’t really talked to Jess about it other than fleeting mentions here and there. I definitely want the security and freedom of having my own business, but I just can’t get it out of my head that there’s more to life than this…

It’s not rocket science, folks, just the recipe my mom always used from some ancient cookbook. I usually make a double batch. When the pack is involved, I make TWO double batches.
1/3 cup Crisco
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1.5 cups flour
1/2 a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chipsCream the shortening, butter, and sugars. Mix in the egg and the vanilla. Add the salt and baking soda, mixing well. Throw in the flour, and stir until combined. Last, add the chocolate chips.
Bake at 375, for 11 minutes. Trust me, these are best a little underdone. Don’t let them get too brown, or they’ll be crispy. And that’ll suck.

My head is spinning. I’m back to the Uley vs. Black drama that has been a part of my life since the day my mom moved us to Seattle. Team Uley (which is of course my mom) has a wonderful love/hate relationship with Team Black (my dad). There has always been an equal amount of respect, love and loathing in their relationship and it has come back to haunt me again.
Sam and Emily are back and I am so happy to have the other half of my family around. I have missed them and can’t wait to have some time to catch up with them both. It seemed so complete last night to finally have them there for the pack dinner at Clearwater’s house. I know there are a lot of decisions to be made by everyone but this decision for me is forcing me to choose between my family. Do I choose Sam or do I choose Jake and how do I know which one I should choose? To me, they are both great leaders who have the best for the pack and me in mind. This decisions is eating me up inside.
So, Jake and Sam are problem #1. Now, problem #2. The guys in the pack aren’t really big Matt fans. It all started with Matt loosing his temper with Paul over something stupid or maybe it was Paul and Matt at the baseball game – I don’t remember. Anyway, tempers flared and Matt got mad. His temper fires up so easily but it also disappears just as fast and then he’s done – no grudge, no hard feelings. Anyway, Paul and Embry decided to take some of their anger in what I think was a pretty harmless way. The put hot pink hair dye in Matt’s shampoo and eye drops in his water bottle. The hair was really funny… the sick part – not so much! He was furious and quickly figured out that I let them know where he was staying. I was able to keep my mouth shut but he pushed me just a little too far and I got angry. I made it outside and to the edge of the wood before I phased but it took everything I had. Seeing Emily this morning reminded me just how quickly things can get out of control. I can not hurt him – I will not hurt him and I don’t want anyone else to either but Matt needs to learn to keep his temper in check and I can’t back him up all the time when he runs his mouth either. Things are going to get interesting I’m afraid!

So it seems like we’ve been AWOL, huh?
Yeah.
So here’s how it goes. Girl has best friend. Girl’s best friend’s boyfriend who happens to be a shapeshifting wolf imprints on her. Wolf and girl live happily ever.
Or so the story goes.
Actually, the story goes a little more along the lines of, “what the hell? How am I going to live out a normal adult married life with hordes of shapeshifters crowding around my kitchen table and a husband who hears voices in his head?”
Yeah.
The long and short of it is that Sam and I decided to take a month or so away from all this craziness. It was time. Time to adjust to living as a married couple. Time to fix up this little house. Time to think about what our future holds. But, you know? All that time we spent talking about babies and nurseries and names seems crazy right now.
Last night we went the Clearwater’s place, for a pack gathering. It seems like they’ve grown since Sam has been away. There’s another girl, and a new boy with an imprintee, and catch this…an eagle. And so not only are they all struggling with which Alpha to accept, but then there’s me struggling with the thought that maybe I don’t want to have kids that have no choice but to grow up in this crazy life.
I mean, maybe the Cullens will leave and my kids will never have to deal with this. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before. But what if they don’t? Or what if someday when I’m old and wrinkled, they come back? Do I have to see my grandkids tortured by a legend come to life?
But then there’s the pack. ‘Cause no matter what, I can’t escape from the fact that I love these crazy kids. I didn’t realize how much I’d missed them. How terrible would it be to have a passel of kids with a passel of huge uncles…and a couple of aunts…to protect and teach them the ways of their tribe?
I just don’t know anymore.

First of all, we have to choose packs. It’s crazy! How am I to choose between my “kid brother” and my best friend from High school? Jacob is the rightful Alpha, but Sam was the “original.” It’s crazy.
The pack had dinner at the Clearwaters tonight. It was nice, not everyone was there, but Sam and Emily were there. It was nice to see my childhood best friend. I haven’t seen him since graduation. His wife is great. She made some delicious food.
Anyway, back to what I was really coming here to talk about. I’ve been planning on moving out for sometime. All my student loans are paid off, I’ve got a decent amount of money in the bank and I have a new job in advertising in Seattle. Plus a great girlfriend.. imprintee? Girlfriend. Aurora is amazing. Sure she’s a few years older, but age is just a number.
After dinner tonight I went back home and started preparing what I was going to say. Such a geek, I know. I went out and got her favorite flowers, stargazed lillies and a bottle of red wine. I was nervous, but so happy to see her. She looked beautiful, her hair was a little messy from sleeping all day. But she had candles lit all downstairs. It was romantic. I told her about the pack thing, then I kind of just… asked her.
SHE SAID YES! That she’d move in with me of course.
We start house slash apartment hunting soon.
I feel like a giddy twelve year old school girl.

Ah, so much to discuss since I’ve left Seattle. I don’t even know where to begin. (By the way, I still can’t even believe I got kicked out of my own apartment.) After I heard the sucky news from the Volturi, I journeyed on to find myself in Tokyo. I had a friend call me recently after not hearing from him in years, so I figured I’d pay him a visit. Well, you could say we spent most of our time… reuniting. Oh, and Thanh came to visit me for a little while. We went shopping and caused some trouble at the Palace. I definitely need to visit her place in Barcelona soon.
So anyways, one night Dae got a call from some douche who was clearly asking for trouble. If you know Dae, you know he doesn’t take crap from anybody, just like yours truly. He decided to get on a plane to New York City totake care of it and asked me to come with. No way in hell was I going to give up going to New York City! After flying back to the States, we headed to the guy’s hotel. He took care of him, alright. Ugh, I totally could have killed the guy, but Dae wouldn’t let me have any fun! So now I’m in New York City, where more of my adventures shall be continuing. It’s too easy to cause trouble in such a big city.

This is my first post, so sorry if it doesn’t come out right.
Recently Matt, Willow’s boyfriend from Seattle has come to visit us in La Push. Most of us got bad vibes from him right from the start, Paul especially. Paul, Quil, Riley, and I feel very protective of Willow now that she’s a part of our pack and we won’t allow anyone to treat her poorly, especially not that Matt clown. Sometimes he acts like a jerk and loses his temper around her which makes US lose OUR tempers and we all know what happens when we lose our tempers.
So, anyway, Paul decided to channel his anger and instead of pummeling Matt he decided to pull a prank on him. Of course I joined in on the fun. We put pink hair dye in his shampoo and Paul spiked his water with eye-drops. Luckily, Willow was a sport and gave us Matt’s room number at the hotel and I was able to put my lock-picking skills to use and break in. So, now Matt’s got pink hair and a bad case of um… well… you can imagine. Unfortunately, Matt’s somewhat smarter than we thought and correctly assumed Willow had helped us with the prank. We didn’t mean for her to take the fall, but she’s a tough cookie.
Yesterday was Paul’s birthday so Rachel decided to plan a surprise party for him down at First Beach. She had Willow send out the invitations, I was in charge of food of course, and she made a delicious home-made cake and decorated with balloons. Riley came and set up the bonfire, I bar-b-qued, and then people started showing up! Not everyone could make it, but Quil, Claire, Nessa, Jake, Jared, Leah, Kim and her friend, Nadia also came. It was Nadia’s birthday too coincidentally.
Matt was still sick in his room so there wasn’t too much drama on that front but there was some drama with Quil and Kim’s friend, Nadia. It turns out that Nadia is the girl Quil danced with in PA! At first she was pissed and we didn’t know why. She mistakenly thought that Claire was Quil’s daughter and got mad that he’d been at the club. I guess that’s understandable. They seem to hit it off after she figured out the truth. Well, not the whole truth, but the part where Claire is not his daughter.
But other than that, everybody had a good time. It was nice getting together. Riley gave Paul some wax for his board, I got him I Love You, Man on dvd, and I picked out a “Welcome to the OC, B!tch!” T-shirt that Leah gave him.
Hmm… what else? Sue is back from her trip! We missed her lots. She’s going to be having dinner with Charlie tonight so Leah and I are probably going to try to hang out in Port Angeles and see a movie. Leah’s invited everybody to her house for dinner on Wednesday night to celebrate Sue being back from her trip. Then later, as things wound down Leah and I decided to give Rachel and Paul some, er privacy. We went for a walk in the woods and had a serious conversation about the future and the fact that we’re falling for one another. I’m glad she can open up to me and it’s nice to hear how she feels about me.
Wow! I’m rambling. I better get going. Did I miss anything? Hope not.

Last week Charlie and I had our dinner together that we promised mom we would have, while she was gone. Jake and Embry were also able to come, so that helped for awhile until they both had to leave. Then I was alone with Charlie. It was rocky at first, but we got to talk and…Charlie isn’t such a bad guy after all.
Mom got home yesterday from Utah. It is so nice to see her again. She has been gone for so long. I forgot how many things she has missed. We spent most of the night catching up. When she was ready to go to bed, I decided to go to Paul and Nadia’s surprise Birthday party at the beach. It was a good time, it is always nice to see the pack together. After the party was dwindling down, I thought Embry and I should take a walk, and leave Paul and Rachel for some alone time.
There has been something on my mind for awhile and I had to let Embry know I what I was thinking. It is clear that I am falling for him, but I am so nervous of what the future holds for us. I am scared to dive into a relationship that might ultimately end with one of us getting hurt. Yet…In the end it comes down to “Am I happy now?” The answer without question is “Yes.”
