oh my gosh. they called the wedding off?
this is the best news ever.
i don't know why. it's not like it matters.
should i text her? no. that would be weird.
instead of being happy about my ex calling off her wedding i should focus on the fact that i should be getting a call anytime soon to know what team i'll be going pro with.
i always dreamed about being in the NHL but i never really thought they'd come true.
but here we are. it's coming true.
i should be getting a call any second. i know of two teams that were looking at me.
the seattle kraken which is on the opposite side of the country. or the hartford whalers which is back home. which would be amazing because derek was also scouted by them.
it's just a matter of who gets to me first.
that's when my phone starts ringing.
this is it.
"hello?" i answer the call
"hello is this James Hewitt?" the caller asks
"yes this is he." i respond
"hello i am calling on behalf of the hartford whalers. we would like to have you part of our team."
oh my gosh. this is it.
"we know you have to think it over so just give us a call within two weeks and let us know your answer!" he continues
"thank you so much. i will."
the call ends. i immediately call derek.
"hey?" he answers
"have you gotten a call yet?" i ask
"not yet now get off before they do call and i miss it because i'm talking to you!" he ends the call
20 minutes later of pure excitement and nervous energy i get a call from derek.
"did they call?" i ask immediately
"yes." he responds
"you?" he continues
"yes." i respond
"where?" he asks
"hartford whalers." i respond
"your turn." i continue
"hartford whalers." he says through a smile.
"are you kidding?" i shout
"no! this is great!" he exclaims
"i think we oughta celebrate!" he continues.
"i think so too." i laugh
today has been a good day.

throughout high school i had no clue of what i wanted to do.
but when i got to college i decided i wanted to be a lawyer.
it's a lot of work and it was good for
me to push myself to do it.
i am moving back home to Connecticut for law school.
inez is moving back too. dylan moved out here a few months ago and they've missed each other so much. so we're going to move in with him.
i didn't want to move back home because i worried i would be backtracking.
