Why does it bother me so much?

I hate when things get awkward, I've been there... not this time though. I feel like I've got it right, entirely. I'm insanely happy with Jackie.

Life is moving so fast lately. Responsibilities at work are a bit much but it makes it that much better to come home and relax. I've been studying a lot for the PCAT - I registered for January! I'm excited for that change and applying to schools. Each adventure is exciting as I'm heading into my last gorgeous fall in the UP. This is my favorite time of the year.

So, there's this little part of me that finds it impossible to entirely trust someone.

It's nothing new. Is that bad? No. Well, maybe. I'm just being honest though. Ahhhhh.

I don't really have much else to say right now. Just posting because I said I'd try to.

So, I really tried to post a couple times since June. Ayeeeee.

The past couple weeks have been insanely awesome and busy though. Pus visited for the 4th of July, along with Remnar and Larry. What a blur of a week! I don't even know what to mention between the adventures, thunderstorms, fireworks and craziness. Tonight is the first night in a week and a half that we aren't entertaining anyone at all. It feels unbelievably wonderful to just be home with my girl.

... which makes me think, what am I doing on here? Goooooodnight LJ.

So, hello LJ.

Today is the summer solstice. The longest day of the year would fall on a Monday -- it figures. But for a change I actually have Monday off (the first time since around Christmas) and it's been wonderful so far. Sleeping in a little, Rice Paddy for lunch on the beach, errands and hiking later. Oh! And D2 - the Mighty Ducks finally came in the mail today. Life is good...

Really, it is.

I went down to Detroit mid-May. Jackie came with. Jimmy and Sarah were there too, and we had a little barbeque with family and friends. It was really weird because Kelsey wasn't around. I miss her, a lot. It was pretty weird sleeping in that house, too. Although, I don't miss that.

We taught mom drinking games, went to a mostly black bar on hip-hop night and planted a ton of flowers. We smoked with Anthony (my power rangers partner) on the way down and almost got ran off the road by a crazy RV driver on the way up. Dale and Jackie had a walk & talk about "us", dad rolled us a joint for the road and I told mom I was dating an amazing girl.

It doesn't seem weird at all.

Q: Does it seem weird to you? Do you miss when we were all kinda single?

This past week has been, beyond words, amazing.

Last Friday Jackie and I left for Chicago. We saw her mom graduate Friday night, went on adventures around the places she grew up, and hung out with her family all weekend. We cruised to Milwaukee Sunday evening where Jeri met us for dinner and drinks & she booked a room for us to snuggle in before our early Monday morning flight. The flight to Denver was long and boring, we barely had a layover, and before we knew it we were in NM with Jimmy and Sarah.

Monday night Jackie and I went on ride-a-longs with Jim and Justin. It was a lot of fun. We responded to a couple calls, including an interesting suicide attempt, and pulled some people over. We let everyone off with warnings except for a man who lied to us about drinking - we towed his truck. While we were waiting for a tow truck, a car rushed up to us and the woman inside was frantically looking for her 20 year old daughter who was allegedly drunk and somewhere on the road we were. We called Justin and Jackie to the scene and they took over, later finding the girl passed out, wasted on the side of the road with her pants around her ankles. She was so drunk she stopped to pee and just fell over there. Crazy! They returned her to her mom, we towed the truck and met up for lunch with some other officers. It was a fun night.

Tuesday we relaxed a bit. Jackie and I went to court with Jimmy and watched his cases, as well as some felony cases which were pretty interesting. Jim and Sarah took us out to an authentic New Mexican restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. They went to bed early, while Jackie and I stayed up and went in the hot tub. Mmmmmmmmm :) it was a perfect night, under the beautiful stars with an amazing, gorgeous girl.

Wednesday we went skiing (and snowboarding) all day at Sandia. The mountains were so pretty & it was a lot of fun but I am so bruised and sore. Jimmy's friends, Kamil and Tyler, came with and then stayed over (with Kamil's wife) later that night for pizza and beer. Jimmy asked Jackie to pick up the pizza with him... and, of course, the question was finally asked if Jackie and I were together.

She said yes.

I didn't really know if I was going to tell anyone, especially in my family, but I guess I'm pretty okay with it. Jim and Sarah really like Jackie which means a lot. It's just a really big thing and I wasn't sure if I was ready to say anything, or what it meant if I did. It's not like I've been into girls my whole life, or that I don't like guys still.

I'm just absolutely in love with this amazing girl.

And that's all that really matters for now. We've been really, really good for each other and she makes me unbelievably happy. I don't wanna ramble on and on like a sap, we just really click and it's great. She reminds me every day how much she cares about me and how lucky she feels to be the one holding e every night and waking up to my smile. She's incredible.

Thursday Jackie and I went hiking in the Petroglyph Mountains for a couple hours. The weather here is awesome, 60's and sunny. We took a lot of cool pictures, saw some tiny lizards and a jackrabbit bigger than Lexy. Jim and Sarah took us to Sonic for Happy Hour (before he went to court and she went to class) then Jackie and I relaxed and played Mario Party for a while. While dinner was cooking, Jimmy and I went to Walmart and I talked to him about Jackie and I. He was just really nervous to ask me/afraid I'd be offended but it was cool to talk to him about my relationship. It was a wonderful day. We went out and took some pictures of the city lights, played cards and watched a movie for a bit before cuddling all night.

And it's Friday again. I woke up pretty early to say bye to Jim (he went snowboarding with Tyler in Santa Fe). I can't believe we're flying out in a few hours. This past week has been incredible and I'm so glad Jackie and I have spent it together, traveling, going on adventures, spending time with family and smiling so so much. I'm almost not ready to head back but I miss my apartment, I miss my puppy & friends, and I guess it's time to get back to work. I can't wait until summer, more adventures and sunny days.

Close your eyes, tell me if you see it too. [Sep. 19th, 2008|01:09 am]
[Current Mood |Unexplainable.]

I hate that loving you is an irreplaceable feeling, but I'm not about ready to give up what I have going because we're both not nearly ready to experience what's in store for us. "Forever and always" remains a part of me and I won't hide it, but I do have a lot of things going for me that aren't changing anytime soon. I'm on the rise with work, school, and life. I'm happy with my family, friends, boyfriend. And you're still a huge, HUGE part of it all and I can't pretend you're not. You say I'm always in the back of your mind, if not elsewhere--if that ever changes, let me know. We do have a once-in-a-lifetime kind of relationship, let's keep it that way.


Anytime you want to lie in a field and watch the stars, know I will. I'd be right next to you in a heartbeat. We can talk and feel everything we ever wanted to, and still be able to live our lives.

Recap: Winter semester is finally over. I'm in the process of moving to a new apartment in Negaunee (it's a renovated old bar). Working 10pm-7am 5 days a week is tiring, but pays well. Aunt Mary had her baby boy April 21 (Austin Raymond Ronald). Kelsey Ann is in Peru -- keep her in your prayers! Chewy took me to lunch last Friday, I missed him. Things with Tom and I are wonderful. There are way too many people to see/things to do next Monday (my only day in EP). Eleven days until Lexy comes to live with me. Best of all, one week from today I'll be in Albequerque New Mexico for Jimmy & Sarah's wedding. ♥

Happy Easter! [Mar. 23rd, 2008|01:18 am]
[Current Mood |sicksick]

Time to reflect I guess. Busy busy busy.

Organic is life. I might drop stats because I don't think I'll get an A and won't settle for a B. Spanish is a joke, which explains a lot about my previous roommate. Psych is boring and I'm pretty disappointed about that. Everday I study or do organic. I wonder when that'll pay off.

Speaking of pay: I'm still at Wal~Mart. I was the Easter Bunny today -- it was amazing. And I love my coworkers during days... unfortunately I start overnights April 12th. I don't want to but I need to. I can't turn down 40 hrs/week, set schedule and benefits even if it means working between the hours of 10pm and 7am Wednesday through Sunday. Whatev. We'll see how that works out.

Speaking of working out: it's on. I've already started my new schedule and it's wonderful. I just want to get to where I was, not that I'm horrible but I know I haven't been as active as I want to be. Plus I want to continue losing weight/getting in shape by Jimmy's wedding. It's kind of a BIG deal and I just feel better.

Speaking of feeling better: only not really. I'm sick again. There's been about a week and a half, since before Thanksgiving, that I haven't been sick. It's getting old.

Speaking of old: I miss Kels. Either that phrase, or Kels herself, is old -- you pick. I don't know, it doesn't seem as if I'll get to go to MSU this semester. I'm really hoping for Kels to pick a weekend because Chew and I need that kind of roadtrip in our lives, but she's insanely busy with life/mostly YL. I think it's good for her though. I just hope I get to see her before she leaves for Peru!

I miss Chew in some ways. Mostly physical...


Kidding. I don't miss him that much. ;) I saw him less than two weeks ago and things are good. For once I don't have much to say about him, or maybe I have a lot but don't want to get into it. Anyway.

I'm thinking a lot about the summer/next year. I'm probably staying in Marquette for the summer. I'll work a job or two, bank money, maybe take a class and enjoy the outdoor life up here more. I miss hiking. I miss fishing. I miss the black rocks daily and jogging Sugerloaf. I think it'll be good to spend some time up here, without taking classes too. I'll get a different feel for the UP minus campus. You know? Maybe.

Maybe Tommy and I will live together for another year, hopefully at least the summer. I think it'd be wonderful, but I can't control it. Yeah. I don't even want to get into this discussion either. I must be getting tired. Yep, work in 7 hours -- I think it's time to go. Happy Easter, again.

so random. [Feb. 13th, 2008|12:09 pm]

Life is amazing.

I've been working 35 hours a week and still getting mostly A's (and a couple B's) on my exams. This semester has been wonderful so far. Chewy stay with me the weekend before last. It was wonderful to just relax with him. Last weekend Jackie and I went on an adventure, my fist time driving in completely white-out, black-ice, blizzard conditions. It took an hour to get from the 27-mile-to-Houghton mark to the city, and to top it off, my truck got stuck on a hill, where I was in drive, flooring the accelerator... sliding backwards between a snow bank and cars. A wonderful girl from MTU came to my rescue! It was a night. Needless to say, our Winterfest trip was a challenge, but well worth a few beers, good conversations, and spooning with the boy. Haha, he brought the word spooning back too. Umm... tomorrow is V-day and I barely finished my cards to the munchkins, Kels, Chew, Tommy. I should get on that instead of procrastinating on my computer eh? I really want to go see Kelsey soon. I miss that girl! I'm still waiting to hear from Grandpa about spring break, I really hope I get to go to Florida, but if not I'd like to go where ever the wind takes Kels and her dad. We'll see. It's just two weeks away! My sister is flying to Albequerque in May, I'm jealous. I still have never been on a plane. I will this June though, on my way back from Fl with Chew! Hopefully Kels comes with. Her mom sent me a care package with candy hearts, fuzzy gloves, and fruit snacks. I need to make my grandpa's card by mail time so it gets there by his birthday! M apartment is clean, but messy and that needs to get changed soon too. Oh well. I won't get any of that done sitting on the computer! I work 4-12 in fabrics/crafts, at least my favs will be there. ♥

Yeah, amazing.
