Forgot something important...
My sister (Sh) gave birth on October 31st so I'm an uncle now. My sister should be on Jerry Springer. Here's a quick review of her love life:
8 or so years ago going out with...I forget his name...oh yes, Gry. Gry seemed a very nice guy but had no direction and ambition.
She abruptly ended that relationship and started dating someone named Gbe. Gbe was very into karate and so too was my sister during that period. Unfortunately, Gbe didn't treat her well (no physical abuse but...) and he didn't know how to manage his business (always in severe debt). After 1-2 years, she left Gbe.
Shortly after leaving Gbe she met Jms. He seemed pretty cool, they went out for a several years. Then he finally became a firefighter (as he had been trying to do for all the years they were together). She said he seemed to change. Sh didn't like the changes and the loss of herself as a person to his career. She left Jms. He suddenly turned from nice guy to world class jerk (to our mom too, who is probably one of the nicest people who have ever lived).
Right after breaking up with Jms, Sh met Rb. Rb was in the military and scheduled to go to HI in only a couple of months. After two months of dating Sh dropped school and moved to HI with Rb even though only two people in the family had met him. None of us really knew anything about Rb and she was moving overseas with him. It was a scary time for us, watching from the sidelines. It turned out that he seemed a decent enough guy. He seemed to adore her and treated her well. The main problem was that he wanted children and she did not because she wanted to finish school and start her career. Despite this major difference in life goals, they seemed on track until he had to go to Iraq. Later my sister accidentally learned that he had been cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend (and potentially others) in the months leading up to his deployment. Things came to a head while he was still in Iraq and they broke up. Rb turned out to be a world class jerk upon break up. This took place fall of 2006 or something like that. The divorce just recently became final (I think).
Before Sh had completed her divorce with Rb, a co-worker named Jf proclaimed his love to Sh. He was a dear friend and Sh had never thought of him romantically. Apparently he had always had feelings for her but kept them hidden. There were two windows when he could have let her know of his feelings because she was between relationships. At the time he decided not to rush to approach her. Unfortunately for him, the windows were open for a short time and he missed both opportunities. This time he said "carpe diem" and told her of his feelings right after he heard about the problems with Rb. By January 2007 they had dated several times. They began slowly, going out first as friends as my sister considered the possibility of a relationship. Later Sh learned she was pregnant despite use of condoms and birth control. She knew she was getting older and if she was ever going to be a mom this might be the time. Despite the newness of her relationship with Jf she decided to have the baby. Thus, I became an uncle on All Hallows' Eve 2007.
Time to run (3.1 miles) and shower before picking up the boys so T can go to Tae Kwon Do.
