Pong Bong and Bon-fires

I must apologize for my absence the past couple of days. I wish I could say a lot has been going on lately, but it really hasn't
I continue to be plagued with this ongoing kidney infection, as a matter of fact, when I woke up this morning I felt like I had been hit by a mack truck. I'm currently on my fifth round of antibiotics. The damn thing just won't give up. I know I should be drinking more water, and I have, but jeez, it just won't stop.
I had a wonderful night last night though. I'm not big on all the romantic stuff, but I believe that every relationship has it's moments. That being said, last night was mine and Ethan's. There's a lovely two-acre pond behind my mom's house, and due to our financial situation (checking account -0-) we wanted to do something special. So we went back to the pond, built a fire and stared at the stars for hours. It was spectacular, and best of all, didn't cost either of us a dime. We talked, he even played his guitar, and let me tell you, if you've never been serenaded in front of a bon-fire with a moon-lit body of water glowing, its something to experience. It truly was amazing.
Due to my kidney infection, I haven't been able to spend as much time with A.J. as I would like, but I did get to talk to him on the phone tonight. He told me all about eating his "kohndy" (candy) and watching "pong bong" (Spongebob Squarepants). I know every parent brags on their children, but A.J. is so smart. It's been a truly amazing experience watching him grow so far. Every time I look at him, I think, no way is this the tiny little baby that I held in my arms 21 months ago. I know this is gonna sound cliche, but I'm finding out it's very true: They grow up so fast.
