Vanity & Sin

Super Update

I have been MIA for the past few months, for a few good reasons! Other than me being a neglective ass... I have been busy with working full time/plus, school full time and managing a rather eventful personal life. I just recently moved to Scottsdale, Arizona (town-hopper, I am) with my boyfriend. YES, huge committment, YES I am freaking out about it..but oh well. We'll see what happens. NO I am not engaged, nor looking to be..I just have a pleasant relationship with someone who cares about me. Those are hard to come by, but when you live with someone, you can truly determine whether you are going to be with someone or not..and with him, I am learning quite a few things that I really needed to know.

Work is going great. I am getting a bit worn out by the 26 miles each way to work, but I still love what I do..and I know there is something wrong with me there...

I LOVE SCHOOL!! I will say it! I am getting a 3.83 GPA right now, and I like it a lot. I am really glad that I buckled down to go back to school. I am doing it all on my own, monetarily and WOW do student loans rack up quick. But thank god that those are all deferred until 2010. That's niiiicceee..

...As for my relationship. It's good, simple..and... going. There are a few things that I am rather uncertain about, but I am working on figuring those out. Why pass up a good thing if nothing is wrong? I just know that I am at that point where some decisions are going to need to be made..I guess I am thankful that I am in a lease so I have til next September to figure all that out. I am afraid that if I dump him I will regret it later. Derek is so wonderful and sweet, but I am still learning about him and some things I have to get used to. As I am sure he does too! I am not all rosy myself. So we'll see.. so far so good and good times. That's all I can ask for at this point.

I have survived the one year of Matt's death..and it was beautiful. I spent the anniversary in California at Huntington and Newport Beach (our faves). Derek actually came with and made sure I didn't go dive and drown in the ocean, and I am glad he did. I really needed someone there and he stepped right up to bat. Now the holidays are here, and I am actually excited! It was Matt's favorite time of year..I put up my new tree and decorations with Derek - and tomorrow now, he is my captive to put ornaments up and the angel. Christmas eve I will put up Matt's ornament myself..

2006 has been really good to me! I have a feeling that 2007 is going to be an enlightening one.
