A bit of news
To those I didn't already tell last night (which was most of you >.>) I'm now in a relationship with Chelsea Bozievich, a.k.a. Bozeia.
It was strange how it ended up happening. A while back I talked about being at fork in the road, and realizing I was meant for either the Priesthood or a married life. As I made the point before, it wasn't a big deal yet because there was still the Navy. Joining the Navy is something I've wanted to do ever since my father died- it was the end goal for me. At the time I didn't care what had to happen or what I had to sacrifice to get there. I lost 50 lbs just so I could join the Navy. I became more disciplined, etc.
Well, I haven't made this public on LJ yet, but my medical waiver was denied by DODMERB recently, and I was disenrolled from the NROTC program. It sorta put me out on a limb. I wasn't really sure what the hell to do from there. It made me re-evaluate my career first and foremost. I decided that now that I have the extra years, I might go Pre-Med and end up working towards an M.D., as my father had. I wouldn't be an ObGyn like him, but I feel like it's in my blood. After that, I started to realize some 'other' things.
I've known Bozeia for about a year now. We talk on the phone pretty frequently, and more so online. We've confided things in eachother, myself especially, that I've never felt secure enough to tell anyone else. After the Navy dropping me, it started to nag at me. She had recently broken up with her boyfriend, so I was apprehensive about mentioning it to her. But, last night I brought it up. I'll be damned if she hadn't seen it coming for months x.x
Talk about having wool over my eyes. I'd been so focused with other things that I hadn't given much thought just how involved I was making myself. A very long conversation later, and to make the story short, we're now a couple. ^.^ I've never felt much happier, to tell you the truth- it's one of the reasons why this feels so right to me.
