Thanks yall. It was fun... and sad. I've isolated myself almost completely in the last year in order to gain control of my senses. I feel like I had a mid-life crisis or something. This guy and his wife are the first people I've clicked with in all that time. I'm so happy for them though. They're so excited. I told them I'm already planning my first visit. They were like, "Really??? Because we really want you to come! That would be so fun!" I don't know why they like me so much. I'm almost old enough to be both of their mothers. But I've found the younger generation to be much more open-minded and more along the lines of what I believe in. They're not prejudice or homophobic, they don't go along with the flow when it comes to religion and philosophy. The people my age all seem to be the same – and I'm always the outsider. Of course, I know not all people my age are like this. I think just living in the super conservative, good ole' boy, bible belt can be a little over whelming for me sometimes. Not that I have anything against those types of people. That describes pretty much everyone I know and am related to. Its just nice to run into people every once in a while who don't find your beliefs incomprehensible. I hope I can meet more people like them.
