Wednesday, 13 October 04 :: never thought i could be so in love.

so, i've got a nephew. he was born back in may. i've never met him face to face, cause we're 3000 miles apart, but i get lots and lots of pictures of him.

each day i love him more and more. i never thought i could love someone this much, someone that i've never met. i'm so amazed at this love i have for this child.

i get to meet him after the election. i'll probably cry. i'll smother him with kisses and he won't know who i am. but one day he will, he'll know i'm aunt brooke from oregon. and no matter who he turns out to be, i'll always love him.

i'm just simply amazed.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
