It's been a little while
Hope everyone is well.
Today has been a good day. I woke up and watched my squirel eat breakfast on my balcony. Went to school, and on the way had a really great conversation with my bus driver (someday in the near future if everything goes well, he might be giving me baby chicks to start raising) and got to play with his new puppy on the way to school. Class was good and relatively short, and I found out my grade for the last midterm that I had (which I didn't do nearly as bad on as I thought that I had, and was very ahead of the average)...
Yesterday I had my interview for Chadwick Arboretum. I'm PRETTY sure that I got it, which will be awesome, as next quarter I'll be taking two ID courses that wil greatly be benefited by the fact that I work there. One is a flowering woodies tree class, and the other in a bird identification class. And I might now have a great hookup for a summer internship working landscaping/retail at a garden center near Groveport called Dill's Greenhouse. I've been to their website and am really impressed with what I see. I have a feeling that I'll be getting quite a lot of near experience to add to my belt this year. I'm so excited about my future right now, it's almost hard to contain.
Wedding plans have been coming along. With Brian's help I've located where we'll be holding our handfasting and the reception that goes with it. The family wedding has now been narrowed down to two locations, one at the Chillcothe City Park, and the other at The Darby House here in Columbus.
The lease in coming up for renewal for our apartment, and we've been giving a lot of thought of just buying a house instead. So Tj and I have began house hunting as we want to be out by June. On Sunday we'll be looking at this place in Circleville on Highway 22. It's a three bedroom/one bath that sits on an acre and a half land. They're only wanting $82,000 for it. I hope that it works out, but we've got a bit of a list of other options that we'll be looking at as well.
And, what's even better, is that Tj and I have been a lot closer lately, as in actually having sex on a regular basis. I know that sounds silly, but we've gone months without it before...so it's nice that we're actually making it a point to make time for it.
The house is clean, we've got food in the fridge and dreams within reach...it's going to be an exciting year ahead.
Today I ran into Anna on her way to Wilce. I found myself wanting to hug her and tell her how proud that I am of the woman that she's become. It occured to me, as it often has, as I walked my way to west campus, that out of all of the things that have happened to me during my life in Columbus, that the relationship that I lost with her is probably the only things that I've ever regretted. The people that are in her life and that have the honor of being called a friend by her, are indeed lucky, and I damned well hope that they realize that. That girl, she's going places, I knew when I first met her, and I know it still today.
I can't remember what my plans are today. I have my last class of the day in an hour...I need to go home and start planning for Ostara.
I might take a nap, and dream of the family of nine dear that I met in Chillicothe when I went home. It's a story I'll have to remember to share for later, but it's a good one.
