Post Taos

So what happened after the last post 1 year ago? The girl and the boy did get back together! Yay! The spirit of Taos won! Yay! Getting back together on the trip was one of the most romantic things that had ever happened to the girl. And she was so happy!!!But then it all fell apart again :( The relationship couldn’t handle dating and living together. Dating should be about fun and making plans and going out. None of which happened. The boy figured when you can come home from work and the person is already there, there is no motivation to put any effort into making plans. There was no excitement of the chase. The boy concluded the girl was boring since all she wanted was to be with him. Even if it was just at home.

The girl was so sad. She fought for them for so long. She never gave up because the boy was everything to her and she believed in him. But no matter what she did, it seemed to bring back the angry boy. They met in Taos again, but even the mountains couldn’t help this time. Finally, the girl was forced to leave.

So the girl moved into a lovely Italian Palace deep in the city, a mighty fortress on the bayou. And tried to start anew. Unfortunately, her heart was broken and nothing seemed to help. Even the super large closet and giant garden tub in her bathroom couldn’t bring her out of her sadness. All she wanted was to go back home to where the boy and her heart lay.

A month of mourning was declared for February and was intensified with the passing of her grandmother and the addition of yet another speeding ticket. The Fates had her number. The only thing left was to try to escape the city and go to the lone experience that would help turn things around. It is the one event and place that brings not just individual people together but the whole world: the Olympic Winter Games.
