I'm leaving the man I love for the trip of a lifetime. I'm holding the man I love in my arms as he breaks down in tears not wanting me to go, but also somehow understanding fully why I can't stay. I get to be in a grand country for 4 months while he will be feeling abandoned. He is genuinely supportive, but he is genuinely hurting all at the same ( Read more... )

I leave in a month. I'm getting criticized at work for not leaving earlier. Shawn tells me how much I'll skip classes to travel and how I even should've left earlier. I'm feeling drained and Vicki tells me I need to leave work a week before I'm wanting to. I still could use that extra money. I'm just hoping the week before I go, I can take time to ( Read more... )

A few notes about my life ( Read more... )

After a few bouts of feeling like a really bad girlfriend, I started thinking: How many TV shows and movies show relationships where the girlfriend screws up? Mainly, more than anything, it's the boyfriend who creates problems by not thinking, saying stupid stuff, etc. Girls aren't perfect, you know! We're just as seceptible (sp?) to irrational ( Read more... )

This weekend was Doug's friend Jesse's and his fiancee Kari's wedding. Jesse is a great friend of Doug's, and I enjoyed seeing how two people can be so incredibly in love without being clingy. At the reception, Jesse and Kari were together for most of it, but the times they were apart, they still looked at each other with such wonderful looks. ( Read more... )

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through

(Now, time to put that into action...)

Haha, you didn't think I was lying, did ya? :)

This weekend was spent with my beloved, and it turned out to be a much better weekend than expected. Despite an argument on Friday, I was very happy that he didn't have to work on Saturday. Taking the morning slowly, he and I had decided to go out to Lexington and Frankenmuth. Lexington is roughly 70 miles from Davison, but Frankenmuth is only ( Read more... )

It's amazing how the Spring/Summer semesters make people shut down. Even though it's been a while since final exams, I still haven't heard from people nearly as much as I did before exams. Don't take the statement as upset, since I've fallen prey to this, too. It's funny how nearly 40 hours/week can quiet you to the outside world rather quickly. I' ( Read more... )

Ahh Chicago. Fun city, lots of good sights, makes your feet hurt a ton, though! The best news is that we got my visa application turned in (woot!!). We did that at 9:00 and, Justin was right, all you do is just turn in your materials and then they tell you to call back in about 2 weeks to see if it's ready. Wow. That was stressful... Although ( Read more... )
