so a few things have transpired since i last posted. i've been through three intermediate relationships (drama, ok, so not really, but they didn't go anywhere so...), i've moved to the City, and found out some news about my family. my uncle has been really sick for a while now. kidney issues, viruses, and "stuff"... i talked to my mom the other night and apparently the doctors haven't given him long to live. then my aunt found a lump on her neck (i think) and had it biopsied to find that it is cancerous. she'd had breast cancer when i was in the 5th or 7th grade - can't remember which one. so my mom is a mess right now. so if y'all could be praying for them and her, i would appreciate it. i was flying home this weekend to go to my little brother's graduation, but now i'm going to have to extend my stay (work-willing) to help my mom with some things. she's stressed, overwhelmed, and trying to be everything to everyone (strong, God, encouraging...). so hopefully, I can stay long enough to lend her some support and take her mind off of things a little.

that's all i've got for right now.
