Jumping in head first isnt all that bad after all.
It has been so long since the last update. Much has happened, almost all for the good. I'm finally settled in on the apartment. The car deal is squared away. Work started today. And most importantly, I feel that Mike and myself are stronger than ever.
As far as work is concerned, I commuted this morning for the first time from Jersey into Queens. I was quite shocked how little traffic there was in getting into the Holland during double occupancy. Last night I was sooooo nervous about my first day. All I could imagine was showing up late and being chastised by a bunch of white haired old men. I was envisioning each of them mentally clawing away at me because of my youthful naiveté. Instead, I found a group of young, fresh, laid back colleagues that were eager to make some sort of professional connection. It goes without saying that I now feel much more comfortable in venturing into the unknown realm called "the real work world". I also think that for the first time, I have a strong sense of confidence in the company that I am going build my career with.
On the relationship front, I'm quickly realizing the great strength in the bond that I have with Mike. It seems as though no matter what challenges that life brings before us, we will be able to stick together and share in our love for each other. I sincerely could not be happier with anyone else or in any other situation. I find that every day reminds me of how much I love him and every moment apart from him I am thinking about him, us, and how lucky I am to be with someone as amazing as him.
