So I'm sitting here realizing that in exactly 16 Days. I will be back in CT visiting friends and family. Its crazy how the time just flies right on by. It's been about two years since I've been back there. The last visit definately cleared my head from the first two years of being in michigan. Now I'm realizing that I am getting older, and more responsible, maybe its time for a change? Jim and I have been talking about moving for good for a while now we just haven't gotten around to it. He's doing so well at FedEx but he's thriving to move up to FedEx Express and leave FedEx Ground. I know he can transfer out of state with this one, we'll see what happens though.
I've been thinking a lot about the future and what I'd like to accomplish out of my life. I definately want to return to school and get a real job. This restaurant management thing will always be in the back of my mind and its something that I can fall back on, but I need to get a career and a 9-5 job. Its not so much the restaurant/bar job that I hate, but I've been doing it for so many years that I just want a change. I want an office job that pays well with benefits and people my age that I can get along with.
But back to this CT trip. I'm so excited. Jim and I are getting everything all set and trying to figure out money situation and how we're going to get to places. I just bought The New England Patriots tickets tonight. Football games are so expensive and we got some crappy seats. But I spent like $350 on them. And we're trying to go to the Yankees game as well around that same time, who knows if that'll work out. I'm spending so much money just buying things to get ready for this trip. Jims super nervous still. I feel like he's not that excited. I don't get what could be so nerve wracking. Minus the little details of: different culture, language barrier, he's 9 years older than me, and different religion)...I think it'll be fine. We're not going to be around my parents 24/7. we'll be out doing our own things. The only thing I ask of him i at night we get home in time to have dinner with my dad before he goes to bed. And I really want him to get along with my brother. I'm glad I finally found someone that is the one. I've never brought a boy home (besides my gay bestfriend Mike) before and I am so proud to call Jim my boyfriend in front of my parents. He treats me great, and Whether or not they get a long I could care less. This is my life now, he is a part of my life and my parents will have to except that. I'm 22 years old, I'm an adult now, he can't dictate the rest of my life.
Speaking of blast of the past and life, I found stephanie again! aka my twin. Well she found me. We've been chit chatting back and fourth for the past few days. YOu never really appreciate someone until you've lost contact with them for over a year. What a bad friend I am sometimes. It's so hard now a days to find great friends and keep up with them. I could count on my left hand how many people I can consider a "best friend" or someone that no matter how much time we lose, it always still feels the same. Twin is definately one of them. I love her to death and I am so happy for her. She's got a beautiful family now, a 2 year old son, and a great husband. She's like the sister I never had. And Nicole, no matter how much we don't talk, we still keep in contact once in a while. I see her every few weeks or so. She's great in her own way too. She's so busy with her baby and fiance as well. Then there's Duya aka Mike. Little quirks here and there will always remind us of eachother so we'll text or call. I am so excited to see him though. Finally there's Randi. I love this girl to death and will always be here for her but the only thing is she lives so far away from me now, and she' got a different life too. But we'll chit chat here and there. So anyways...
:) till next time
