Hello constant readers whoever you are. It is time for another one of my sporadic posts because something wonderful is happening in my life. I have found a very special person whom I like very much and who likes me back. This has caused me to evaluate my life in ways that I haven't thought about before because now I am looking towards the future and what kind of future we could possibly have together. The only frustrating thing about it is....she is currently living in Utah while I am still finishing school here in Oregon for my Master's degree. This has done two things: 1. It has taught me the meaning of the phrase "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Every day that has gone by since we saw each other last seems to get longer and longer. I didn't want to leave her behind in Utah and return to Oregon. 2. I have been thinking about all the aspects of my life and been trying to get rid of anything that would make her not comfortable with the idea of dating me. Though there isn't much of that kind of garbage left in my life at this point, I feel that I am really starting to polish up my whole entire way of life and image and I find myself becoming a better man for her.
The really ironic thing about this whole situation is that we really don't know each other that well yet, but I am very happy that she is in my life. And that is enough for me for now. But I miss her and I hope that she misses me as much. This is exciting and I wish I could give more details, but we are still in the embryonic stages of our relationship. But I have a feeling that this could be really something special. More to come...
