Bi-Annual Update?
Hello Livejournal Community.
So a post every two years seems to be the common theme.
Funny to think -- I have been posting on here, for how many years now? I was about 17 years old when I started. I will be 30 this year. Wow!
I narrate as though I am speaking to someone... when, in reality, I think I am meaning these entries for myself. Lori, you're my biggest fan! ;) Joking aside -- I know I said it a few posts back, but this forum has been such a positive thing for me. Reading my entries, I really am able to see my life - I am able to see what I have become and overcome.
Lets see about a snapshot update:
I am still very close with Lindsay Davis from Becker College! She is living in her home state of Maine with her a 4 year old daughter now, Ryleigh, who is amazing just like her mommy! And I am still also close with Kimberlee from Suffolk who lives in MA! Jackie and I are still close too and thankfully she is local! Jackie has a 1 year old son, Ryan! Jackie is engaged to Cory. The wedding is June 2, 2012. I'm a bridesmaid!
I never wrote about this... But I was living with a significant other for three years (dated him for 4). He turned out to be not so significant. Or maybe I was the insignificant one...? Life goes on (Ob-la-di. Ob-la-da).
I adopted the best puppy ever, Gracie. She is a Golden / Lab mix. She will be 2yo this summer. Gracie and I moved back in with my mom and Ron. Hmm what else..
In May I will have earned my Masters in Social Work (MSW). I have been working at the Yale University Child Study Center for three years providing in-home child and family psychotherapy. Ha! Imagine that! This summer, I will officially be a Clinician working towards becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). That's something.
I started seeing an amazing guy, officially, in October 2011 -- someone I've known for over 4 years now... Sometimes I still have to pinch myself. This is something that I never saw coming. Matt was always an enigma to me. I was always curious about his story. The story that no one knew. I always wanted to really know him. And it's actually happening. He trusts me. It's almost as though he chose me. Life works in the most peculiar ways. If you've read my LJ from the start, you'd see that over the years I have learned to just trust in things. I learned that we don't have the answers. We can only work with the hand that is dealt. All I know is that Matt and I want the same things, and at the same time. He treats me like gold. He appreciates me. He makes me feel like am worthy of love and belonging. We have the best conversations. We talk about the past and the present, our families and friends, what we see for our future, what we fear, what we love, and what we dream about... He is incredible. He never - not once - showed any ambivalence with how he felt about me and the relationship. That is huge. He has goals and ambitions for himself and eventually, of a family. I know that I have something real with Matt and I do not want to lose this. I am a lucky girl. We are simpatico.
All in all:
I am h a p p y.
That is success.
Think you will hear from me in less than two years?
Time will tell...
