last time i updated was exactly a year tomorrow... That is so odd.

In reguards to the last post I haven't seen john since about last august. he was who "rejected" me. The last month of last summer i spent mostly with katie and at the beach.

On my birthday, september last year I met James. I was leaving the bar and he stopped me, just to say hi. Now, a year later, we are living together.

I got a new job on Jan 1, 2007 and MANE USA a fragrance house. I work in the applications department applying fragrances to each of the customer bases for presentations and such. Our largest clients are bath and body works, white barn candle, yankee candle, five star, victoria's secret, gap, banana republic... etc. Our company has put a whole lot of fragrances on the market. I also do product development in the R&D department. I so far have developed a massage candle for hannas candle that should be on the market this fall. Right now i am working on a water based gel air freshner. It is fun science. Especially when you see your work in the market.

As for james, we met as i said on my birthday. The beginning of our relationship was a complete worldwin, it was so fun and new and exciting. he did things for me every day that made it impossible for me not to fall in love with him. I journaled most of the begining in a seperate "hardcopy" journal. The night he met me i gave him my phone number. As soon as i got in the car on the way home he called and said "my name is james, save it in your phone and don't forget it." WELL needless to say that next weekend I was in little italy for the san genaro festival and my phone completely died. i lost all the numbers. including james'. In order to find his number i went through my phone bill the next month and looked for all calls that came on the morning after my birthday (around midnight on my birthday) and i found it! we met at the bar twice after that, then i kissed him. After that he said he needed to take me on a real date. So he picked me up one of the first saturdays in october and took me to harriman park for a hike. then we went out for dinner. After dinner he drove me home. That tuesday he picked me up at work and took me to lunch. that wednesday we went to the bar again...since then we have seeen eachother almost every day. After i got a new job in january he started looking for a new job and found one at pella windows and doors in april, with the stipulation that he had to relocate. he said he wouldnt move without me. so we moved together, about halfway between both our jobs. so now we are in a two family house living on our own. the first two weeks were a hard adjustment but now things have started to settle down. we are settling into a routine. i can't believe how much changes in one year...

since last year both james and i have changed jobs and residences. james has quit smoking and started running. i have completed a year of graduate school, alex and erika are still together (two years in august). i bought a new car, am now paying for all my own bills. life has a funny way of working out.
