Well, we're prepping for our trip to Stockton, then Sacramento, then Santa Rosa, and finally to Pacifica for the weekend to stay with my friends. Job interviews are the reason for the trip... three for me, and one for Beth. Keep your fingers crossed! We think we've got up enough help from family and local organizations to make the trip. :o)
Here's an interesting little thing. Apparently, Beth's mom doesn't approve of her choice to be with me out here. She sent the police to ask if she was being held against her will. She, of course, let them know differently. Sigh. I wish that for once, Beth's mom would treat her like the adult that she is and allow her to make her own decisions without butting into every aspect of her life. She meddled in the beginning of her last relationship, and that didn't go well. This time, Beth is making her own decisions and so far, she has been happier, relationship-wise, than she ever has. (By the way, so have I. I love this gal with all my heart and soul. She is my world, though her mother seems to think otherwise.) She should be a bit understanding, considering some of what she's been through in life. But no, she just flatly refuses to believe in us and in what we can do. Her loss, in my opinion. She's alienating her future son-in-law, and in doing so, alienating her own daughter. If their relationship sours, she will have no one to blame but her own meddling self. Sad thing, that. I'd like to actually have in-laws that accept me, like mine have accepted Beth. They love her like she was always part of the family, and because she makes me happy, they want to see us succeed together. I don't know what school of thought Beth's mom follows, but it is inherently flawed. You don't talk down about those your loved ones love, without alienating those loved ones and causing rifts. I've seen those rifts become irreparable. I hope for her sake that she accepts Beth's decisions, and respects them, and through that, becomes closer to her daughter rather than being pushed away. Because this kind of behavior is just asking for that.
Anyway, wish us luck on the trip and the interviews... maybe the light is finally showing up at the end of the tunnel!
