A part of history
Alexei and I had the privilege of watching Annie for most of this week. We had a wonderful time and she’s such a joy. Lydia is very lucky.

I’d also like to take a moment and say how proud I am of Evan. When I first met Alexei, Evan Hartwell was something of an enigma to me. He still is, for the most part, though I’ve developed a certain fondness for him. I won’t lie. I was somewhat threatened by him. He’s the friend no girl wants her boyfriend to have. Then again, I suppose Alexei was no angel on his own, either.

Truth be told, when Alexei and I drifted apart, I never particularly thought of Evan. And yet, when Alexei and I got back together, Evan was a sole point of familiarity. He was a life raft in the sea of strange new people that formed Alexei’s new life. I came to care about him as I would a brother – or at least a very close friend. He has his moments, but deep down, he’s a great guy. We’ve watched him evolve over the last few years and I just can’t say how happy it makes me to see him accomplishing his goals. In a time when the message of change is on everyone’s minds and hearts and lips, I honestly believe that Evan could play a large part in that.

Especially when he has such a brilliant advisor as Lydia.

Congratulations, Evan. We voted for you. Maybe Alexei insisted on it, as one day you will be Godfather to our children and he hopes that because of that, he might get a gig at the White House, but even more than that? We believe in you.

	Thanks, Angelina, that means a lot. I'm still mad at Alexei for backing out on his agreement not to get married until I did, but it's easy to see why he did. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You should have gotten your affairs in order sooner. It would have been a great double-wedding. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Trust me, Angelina, no other bride wants to be on the same stage with you. But I'll try to find one soon, if only because I know I could never babysit your future kids alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're right. I'd have probably pushed anyone else out of the way. It wouldn't have been pretty. I think you're safe for now. Looks like we're going to be holding off on any kids of our own for a while. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Annie may or may not have told me Uncle Alexei cannot color very well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Annie may or may not be correct about that. And I sincerely hope that's all she had to tell you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did my daughter walk in on anything she should not have and that I should prepare Reed to have to explain because making him do that sounds like more fun than doing it myself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, GOD, no. Jesus. We save trauma like that for my sisters, not for innocent little eyes! I just hope she had fun while she was over and that we didn't bore her to tears and that she didn't come back home begging you to never ever ever send her back to mean old Uncle Alexei.

	God, I miss you. Have I mentioned that at all lately? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Not. At all. So do it again! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY, WOMAN. PLEASE COME HOME TO ME. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	OMG. That makes me miss you so much MORE! We don't see each other enough. Come visit! Plus, it would be great if you could please tell your pig-headed, stubborn, cranky friend...the one I like to call my husband...to stop being so pig-headed, stubborn and cranky, that would be great.
