Long time.. No chat.
Hey,
It has been forever since I have posted on this thing. I think I only have two people reading it. LMAO.
I always tell myself that I should do it more often.
Update on my life:
Chad and I are doing well. We just celebrated 18 months together. Describing it in months is just like having a child. Once it hits the two year mark, then you just start counting by years? I moved into his house last April. Things are going great. I miss living with Ann, but I still see her quite often so it all works out. We are constantly doing new things to the house. We installed another bathroom in the basement, added some lighting to the kitchen. I feel so butch. I actually did some drywall. Who knows what the future will bring, so we want to make sure the house is in excellent condition. It is weird using the "we". I so had issues with people when they were in the "we" mode. Argh.. now I am one of them but I guess that is just the way it goes. LMAO.
The last time that I posted, I had just came out to my mother. I feel I have really come a long way since then. I have came out to almost everyone in my life except my father. There are a few other stragglers (work people), but I could really care less if they know or not. It is none of their business. My family and especially my close friends have been awesome with the whole thing. I really appreciate all that they have done for me and all the tough times that they have helped me through and how they stand up for me and GLBT's in general. It is so nice to be more open with who I really am. It kind of makes you sick when you realize all of the behaviors you have when you have been in the closet for so long. It is a journey, but I am getting there. A lot of emotions are surfacing now that I am more comfortable in my skin. Nothing major, just things that I have never really dealt with. I guess it all just takes time. :)
We are leaving for Vegas tomorrow. Chad, Ann, Shannon and I will be there until Thursday night. Staying at the Luxor. It should be a blast. Shannon has never been. I scored some free passes to PURE at Caesars Palace. I have been there twice before with Jessie. It is very upscale. It should be an experience for Ann and Shannon. We have several other things in mind, but we are just kind of playing this by ear. This will be my 3rd time there this year. What can I say.. I am an addict. This year I have been to Vegas, Washington DC and Chicago. I went to Washington with a friend from work. We were total tourists. We set up a tour with Senator Dorgan's office. His staff were very kewl and very good to us. I even got to sit in his chair. Went to a few off the beaten path places. I loved Warren Brown's (Sugar Rush on Food Network) Love Cafe on U street. The cake was amazing. Chicago was awesome. Our friend Kirsten has Uncles(couple)that own a club called Berlin on Belmont. They were so sweet and awesome to us. I had too many Grey Goose martini's on the house and don't remember much. We spent a few days in Chicago and then went to their country house in Michigan. www.fabulouspool.com ...it was truly fabulous.
We welcomed another addition to our family in October. My brother had a baby girl. Kiara Marie. Now I have three little shits to spoil.
My dad and I are planning a trip to Vietnam next year. We are currently waiting for the US gov't to send us some paperwork so dad can return. He hasn't been there for 30 years. My grandfather is 82 and I have never met him. It makes me emotional to think of that moment when they are reunited. It is such a great opportunity for me that I cannot pass up. We have not set a date. We are thinking May. I guess we will see.
I am done with school for the year. I have 5 more credits to take and then I am done and will have my computer networking degree. I will be so glad when I am done. Sick of school.
That is all for now. Time for bed.
