It's time...
Well, I suppose I should update. Finally.
The whole family, including Derek, had a wonderful time on Beaver Island. The house is coming along and it is still as peaceful as ever. We enjoyed the island, the water, and the people. But don't listen to me tell you how wonderful it is and want to go there, too. I won't let you. The island is mine... ALL MINE!
I'm getting ahead of myself, though. Before I left, I had a very unpleasant experience. If you know me, you already know what happened, but I have decided once and for all not to have anything to do with him. Sure, we still have mutual friends, which might make things difficult, but I just need to stay away. Maybe some of what happened was my fault, and maybe it was all him. I am just sick of trying and being taken advantage of, in more ways than one. I have no real reasons to have anything to do with him, so I won't. It's that simple. And thank you to all of you who know what happened and for your prayers and being supportive. You guys are true frineds. And Brett, I won't stop you. Do what you want. :)
Also, before I left, something at least semi-good-ish happened. A good friend and former bowling team member called me. Dan has, I have been told, had a thing for me, which is what makes this not good. But it is good that he called. We were great friends when we were on the team together and always promised to stay in touch, but it hasn't been easy. We only see each other when I happen to be a the bowling alley in Grand Rapids late at night when he is working. I truly hope that there is no motive to see me other than just a frindship. When we talked, I bragged about Derek so he knows I am happliy taken, but he said nothing about his relationship status. We once talked about dating, but he just isn't my type and he seemed to understand that at the time. I hope is isn't coming to me for a second chance. When we talked, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and told him that next time I am in Grand Rapids, we would definitely have to do something, so we'll see. I don't want to have to let him down, but I am VERY happy right now, thankyouverymuch. I love you, Derek!

Also, an internet friend and I recently started talking agian. His computer puked so I haven't been able to talk to him. I know what you guys are thinking, but don't. He and I had many late nights chatting about boyfrined and girlfriend problems. And he is much older than I am. It's all cool. Anyway, we spent most of the evening catching up. Chatting with an old friend is always a good way to spend an evening without your boyfriend (Derek is at work right now). I've missed him. I really have.
Lets see... Work is very busy. I have been working very long, hard days. Mentally and sometimes physically exhausting. But I like my paychecks, so I have no complaints. And I actually like the people I am working with, so that makes the days much easier. We are moving soon... very soon... and it's only going to get busier. My last day is August 21 and within a week after that I move into GVSU and start classes. Much excitement about that.
Well, I'm going to go now and not write again for another month. I mean, I hope that is not the case, but I didn't intend to be nonexistant on here for all that time before either. Talk to you all soon.
