As most anyone who is reading this would know, I've been dating a great guy for the last 6 months, officially, and the last 8 months unofficially. We actually started chatting on Bear411 back in the Fall of 2004. We just chatted online and spoke periodically for the next 3 years. It was apparent he really wasn't interested in meeting. In all honesty, I didn't think he was interested in me in that way anyhow. But, last fall (just about this time "Thanksgiving") we started talking on the phone much more regularly. Heck, just about daily. Things seemed to be going well. He was finishing up his Associate Degree in Education and moving into a new apartment. So, things continued like that for several months. We finally agreed to meet in April, once he was done with school. So, I went down there for the weekend. It went well. There were a few things that I was hesitant about, but who doesn't have those. We decided to just see what happens. He was hesitant about long distant relationships. Especially because he likes more attention and also with school. He doesn't want a relationship to be a distraction. Well, I went back down in May on my way out to my brother's graduation. Then back again in June for his commencement. By June, things were going very well. We had not done anything sexual yet. He is old fashion and wanted to wait. Fine by me. But, things were going well enough he wanted to make things official. So, on June 19th, I asked him to be my bf.
Over the next several months, things have progressed in a more serious fashion. I began considering moving down there. He has 3 more years of school and he's studying to be a Special Education Teacher. So, no jobs in MI. LOL Well, the end of August I began to look and in September I began to apply. I got a few bits but only phone interviews. Began to get more frustrating and I think we both questioned what God might be telling us. But, in October I interviewed for a position at Cincinnati Children's Hospital for 3 positions, all in research administration (what I'm doing now at UofM). Several weeks went by, so I figured I did not get the offer. Well, on Oct. 29, I received the offer and I accepted. So, I am moving to Northern Kentucky to live with Jimmi and to start a new job at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
I cannot believe I only have 1 more week in Michigan. Come next Friday, Dec. 5, the Jeep will have my clothes and dresser in it and I'm driving down. I'll move the rest of the stuff over christmas. It has been a great life in Michigan, but obviously God has a different path for me to go down at this point in life. I'm glad it's with Jimmi by my side and I'm looking forward to having our relationship continue to grow and for starting a new chapter professionally at Cincinnati Children's.
Well, back to packing I go. But, I wanted to let everyone know the news about my moving to Norther Kentucky for a position at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Additionally, I know that some of you may or may not have known that I was dating someone as well. Touch base and keep me posted with all of your lives. HUGS Rocky
