  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.

  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.”

  If you haven’t read Quil’s blog, you need to. ( http://quilateara.wordpress.com/ ) It can give you a little insight as to how our whole conversation started. Long story short, we took a nice walk yesterday afternoon and had a chance just to talk.

  When I last posted I mentioned that Matt is back in my life. He and I have a long history together and even though he pulled the disappearing act, he has more than made up for it. He is working hard at school, with his band, and at being with me which is no easy feat while he is living in Seattle and I am in La Push. He has been around more often than not and I have loved having him back in my life. He is good to me and good for me at the same time. So all this time that he has been spending in the La Push/Forks area led him to an idea. Apparently he read some study about declining animal populations in the area and decided to do a study on it for some class he is taking. This area is PERFECT for an Greenie like Matt – he got approval and is moving here for the summer next week! I am happy dancing all over the place… not everyone else is.

  As Quil mentioned, there seems to be a little tension between Paul and Matt. My guess is that it is because they both have firey tempers. For whatever reason, they got in to it on the beach the other night. It all started with some great cliff diving and then Matt decided to jump (hello… the waters cold!) blah, blah, blah. Paul says something, Matt gets mad and the next thing I know, they are in each other’s faces. I’m not sure who to blame or if I even blame either one of them but I’m glad it didn’t get ugly. Matt doesn’t know anything about the pack or that I am a wolf. Jake says its on a need to know basis and as far as I’m concerned… Matt doesn’t need to know yet. How can I explain something to him that I am just starting to understand myself?

  This leads me to the La Push resident sweetheart Mr. Quil Ateara. Poor Quil got stuck answering some questions that I’m sure weren’t easy for him to answer. We were talking about little Miss Claire and I mentioned that she was a very lucky little girl to have Quil taking care of her. This led to an interesting conversation on imprinting and what it is and how it work. Honestly… I am sooooo glad that this hasn’t happened to me! I look at Jake and Quil and I am glad that they both have great girls in their lives but it makes me sad to see them tied to someone who keeps them alone. I invited them to come to Matt’s next show with the hope that they can both have some fun and maybe meet someone special to spend some time with until they are able to be with Claire and Nessa. Someday I am sure that both Claire and Nessa will be perfect for Quil and Jake but what about now? Does imprinting mean that they just have to wait it out?

  Anyway… Matt’s waiting for me to finish this. He has a surprise planned for me Thanks Quil for the Imprinting 101 lesson and I promise to be careful. xo

  Tags: Claire, Imprinting, La Push, Love, Wolves

  Yesterday-I was walking on the beach, singing along to Aerosmith, when Willow almost gave me a heart attack by grabbing the ear buds out of my ears and yelling “Hey Quil” at the same time. I guess she owed me that much.. I did the same thing to her a couple weeks ago. I just wonder how much of my singing she really heard. We walked along and talked for a while. I got into the whole imprinting thing. I could tell it was really confusing to her, but she was interested in knowing what it was like. I told her that the guys sometimes tell me that I should go out and meet someone my age. She said that I should maybe come with her to Seattle to Matt’s show and talk to some people. She said I can protect Claire and be there for her, but also have fun myself along the way. That really got me thinking. No one has really put it that way before. Just as I was telling Willow to be careful, and that I worry about her and Matt, my cellphone rang and it was Claire. She was bored at home and wanted me to come and rescue her.

  I went over and decided to take her to a playground where she could play. There isn’t a lot to choose from, but the one near the Quileute Tribal School was open to the public this time of year, to a certain time. It is also nearby home, because I didn’t have time to drive to Forks or anywhere with a park. So we headed out. On the way, I was singing along to the radio, and she heard me say “Sometimes love comes around..” She asked me if I was in love. It couldn’t help laughing. That subject has been on my mind so much lately, it just caught me off guard to have her bringing it up. I told her the truth. That I have never been in love. And that she is the only girl that I care about right now. Which is the truth. We played on the slides and the swings. She tried to get me to lean my head back and look at the sky while I swung, but that made me feel like I was going to throw up.

  We continued our love conversation for a while. I asked her if there were any boys in her preschool class that she liked. She acted like that was an insult. She said that they are mean and that they only want to play with other boys. I told her not to worry, that it would be way too soon, and she is going to be telling me all about some guy in her class that she thinks is cute. I really dread that day. I mean, not because I don’t want her to be happy and experience life and meet other people. I just know that I am not going to ever think that anyone is ever going to be good enough for my Claire Bear. I told her to let me know if the kids were ever really mean to her, and I would hold some kindergartener up by his ankles on the playground. She was shocked, but seemed to like that idea.

  Before we knew it, the stars were coming out, and I needed to get her back. She fell asleep in the car on the drive home. I carried her inside, tucked her and Mr. Bear in, and kissed her on the forehead. As I left the house and was headed out to patrol, I could still see her laying there all tucked in, hugging that stuffed bear. I could see her watching me drive in the car and telling me that I was the only boy that she liked. I had all these images running through my head of all the times we have been together and how nothing in this world- NO ONE in this world is ever going to be as important to me as that little girl. But then I had other thoughts as well. Thoughts about how long, how many years I have ahead of me with her as a child. And how even though I am not aging, (which means one day we will be the same age), who is to say she will ever think of me in anyway other than a big brother. Maybe I should consider exploring my options. Just a thought. But its something I have been thinking about for a while now. Especially with everyone falling in love around me.

  Tags: dressed for success, Jared, Jess, Kim, La Push, Mike, Mr. Bear, Party, Paul, Pirates, Quil, Rachel, Rebecca, Seth, Willow

  Last week I had a pirate party with lots of friends and food and we had a treasure hunt too. Quil (love, love, love, looove Quil) was there and Auntie Rebecca and Auntie Rachel with Paul. And Jessica and her brother and Mike came aaall the way from Forks. And Seth was there dressed like a parrot (YAY). Willow, Jared and Kim came too. They all had to dress up as pirates. They looked so cool! Quil played DJ while I was hiding the treasure with Mr. Bear, who got to be the guardian. Paul found the treasure first after we had to follow the leads on the treasure map. He had to fight Mr. Bear to get the treasure too! Go Paul!

  Everybody danced and had fun. Mommy made yummy food. Cheesebread and Chicago hot dogs and grilled steaks. We had pirate cupcakes and really good cookies. Mommy is such a good cook! I was only a little bit sad because Uncle Jake, Grandpa Billy, Embry and Leah couldn’t come. They missed all the fun and my presents. And the party gifts! Everybody got some pirate coasters. I wish I could have another party tomorrow. But this time everybody has to come!
