I feel kinda bad that I don't post on here much anymore. It seems that I usually do post when I'm malcontent or just want to complain. Not so much of either going on with me lately. Life is pretty good. As a short recap:

From October 2-5th I was in San Francisco. I love, love, love this city. More so than just about any other I've ever been to. I spent most of my short time there just wandering around Fisherman's Wharf, the Italian District, and downtown. I didn't really do anything too special. Dropped a lot of money at H&M, was thrilled there was an In-N-Out 4 blocks from my hotel, and just about killed my legs walking up and down those massive hills. I got to meet up with my friend Jason for a few hours, which was awesome. And I went out to Oakland to go see Lincoln. This was quite the adventure. I miss that guy.. but it was really nice to see him happy out there, since I know his last few months here in Denver were pretty miserable for him. I was sad to leave when I did. I was thinking about going back around my birthday in August, but seeing as though other plans have been set in motion right before that, I may not be able to (more on that later).

From October 5th-9th I was in Honolulu. On this leg of the trip I was all by myself. I've never taken a trip alone before, and I'm wishing I had done it before now. But for the little time I had on Oahu, I fell in love with the place. I used most of this time to just stretch out on the beach and be lazy. I stayed on Waikiki Beach, so my hotel was literally steps from the beach. I had a lot of time to think about shit going on in my life, which something I don't always do. I went on a hike in a rainforest and did a bike tour down a mountain, which was way super fun. As much as a big part of me didn't want to leave Hawaii, either, I missed my boy and my friends. But the time and distance away was good for me, too. :)

Once I got home, it was back to business as usual. Still working a lot, and got promoted to a lead position for the month of December (which includes a raise.. hot damn!). I hadn't really been too social between now and then, though.. which really isn't good. I've been spending most of my time at home with Adam. The home life with him since we moved in together (officially since September, unofficially since June.. lol) has been great. Luckily, we haven't had a single argument yet. :P We've been able to work through any high tensions, so that's definitely a good sign. This is the first and only relationship I've had that both parties have wanted to make definite plans for the future. We've already been scouting for a new, bigger apartment. Granted, my lease isn't up until this spring/summer, but during this process I've learned that Adam, like me, is a bit of a compulsive planner. Unless something else comes along, we've both agreed on this place. Between the two of us, we can afford a decent sized one bedroom. It's still in the area I'm in now (this place is off of 16th and Fillmore, whereas now I'm on 12th and Elizabeth). Furniture and new decor is already being scouted. And they allow pets. Which we agreed we both want a dog. All of this makes me quite happy. We both seem to have every intention to keep going for the long haul. I really do hope that happens. God knows I'm ridiculously in love with that kid.

Aside from the above, nothing else really going on. Meeting Jenn in about an hour for Happy Hour. Hopefully getting to see Nichole and Ricardo soon, since they're back in the country. My mon has been all depressed again, since it's just about the year mark since my grandpa (her dad) died. New babies are in/coming to the family (my cousin Colin and his wife had a baby girl last week, my cousin Justin and his wife are expecting, and my brother had the possibility of a 3rd child coming - dumbass slept with his ex (the mother of my niece and nephew), and now she's pregnant again). Met up with my friend Shane about 2 weeks ago.. and I hadn't seen him for something like 4 years (I've known him since we were in high school). I definitely need to start going out more again. :P I don't want all my friendships to have that happen to it.
