I'm Proud of Travis
Let me start off my saying how proud of Travis I am. He finally took the step and called his real dad for the first time. I think that overall he feels better now that the initial conversation has taken place. I heard Travis actually laughing alittle while he was talking to him. He is still really nervous about how things will work out. I know how much he wants to be able to have him in his life, so I'm hoping things work out the way Travis is wanting them to. I am really excited for him though. Steve (his dad) asked Travis to tell him all about me, and it was so sweet, Travis said, "She is just awesome." and proceeded to tell him that I'm a good cook and that I work, etc. It was just nice to hear him say that. Steve also was very anxious to answer all of Travis' questions, which I think was great. Travis said he couldn't think of what all he wanted to ask so Steve told him to just sit down and write him a letter and he would do his best to answer all of his questions. In my opinion, he didn't have to do that, he could've just been secretive about it and let it go, but I'm really glad that he wants to help Travis understand.
On a sadder note, Travis lost a grandmother over the weekend. It was his step-dad's mother. I had met her one time right after we got married. She seemed like a really nice lady. And from what I've heard she really liked football.
The weekend was the kind where we'd make plans then change them. I just decided it was too cold to venture out too much. Really, it was too cold to do much inside our house too. It was freezing cold in there. On Sunday, we went to the Parkersburg mall with plans on going to the bookstore. There is no bookstore there anymore! Just our luck. With the weekend being screwed up, I'm hoping that my week goes better. So far, it's not though. I should've just stayed in bed this morning :-)

That is so great that Travis and his father were able to talk. I am happy for him. I am also so sorry about his grandmother. I know it's hard to lose a grandparent. I agree about it being cold indoors, too. During the Super Bowl, I was on the couch in flannel pajama pants, socks, slippers, three shirts, and a quilt over me and I was still cold! Of course, Adam was hot. If it were up to me, I would have cranked the heat up to about 80. I just get so chilled when it is so cold outside. I have been drinking alot of hot chocolate to warm me up.
OKay so before I forget: Walden's isn't in the mall, but beside Old Navy, they put a HUGE Borders in. It's really big and very nice! I bought Joe a book there for Christmas and could have spent hours looking. :-) I'm so happy for Travis, I really hope this works out for the best. And I'm very sorry to hear about his grandma. Please let him know that we're thinking of him. Is there anything we can do?
