110. Matthew's Journal 24

I don't own Hetalia okay? I don't have much else for this opening. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!

May 31st 1924

(from the diary of Matthew Williams)

I had to do it this way, just had to. The movers had taken our stuff to the place I had bought but we aren't fully moving in for a week or so. Actually the idea to have a meet up here like this belongs to Katy and Eliza. Roderich got a studio offer where he could write the music for the movies and be more creative than just playing. They won't let us see them before they are released but Eliza assures me that they are wonderful and does the best when in dramatic and romantic movies, and I guess I will have to find a way to take Katy to see them. Our town is rather small though, they don't get the newest movies so that may be a little while. But I am sure that we can find something. She loves the fact she can garden and that the kids will have tons of fresh air and the fact we are at least in the same state as Al and Natalya. But frankly I need snow. I need winter. I like the cold. I need nature. Yosmitie seems like it would be perfect.

I think it was great for Nikolai to see his family, his Uncle Dyadya Mattie and Aunt Tetya Katy. At least he used to say that. He calls me Uncle Matt and Tetya Katy now. He's gotten pretty good at Russian, same with Ivan and Anya. Anya loved seeing Louise and was begging to be able to see her more often and just loved Maria. Those three girls seemed to get along well and rode the merry go round so much. It mean it was the only ride that Maria was really big enough for. I am going to take Al and the boys fishing, Nikolai, Ivan, Alexei and Chadwick. I have to get back up in a few days but tomorrow I am taking them to have some fun. Chadwick needs to get to know his cousins better. I already told Natalya when Alexei and Chadwick are older, that at least I would take the boys camping and I guess if Louise and Anya want to, or even Katy or Natlaya do I couldn't deny them.

I just feel like there is no limits to what can happen. I know my family is going to be happy, I know that Katy has contact with her friends and they can meet up from time and again. I am happy and my family is happy and frankly Al and Natalya are close but not too close. I like my peace and the distance is fine for Katy. I can't wait to start but I enjoy just spending the time with my niece and nephews and even some of the time with my brother. After all I have seen, have done I finally have me a beautiful wife and cute kids. I am happy.

So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. You can clearly see this one is longer than The Longing of the Heart for some obvious reasons. One is over a few years, this a whole decade practically. I am coming to a good wrap up and should be here soon. Anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
