Wow just about a year…

Well it’s been just about a year since my world turned upside down.  I can’t believe how quickly (and easily) the time passed.

I am still living with my parents, and in all honesty don’t know when I’ll be moving.  The economy is just too iffy and I’m not comfortable making financial obligations right now.

On a positive note, I’ve been dating someone for a few months.  We met online last summer but due to circumstance we did not actually meet in person until February.  We’ve gone out a lot and I really really like this guy.  The most unfortunate part of it is that we live about an hour away from each other so we don’t get to see each other as frequently right now.  Hoping that will change though.  We’ll see how it goes!  I’m planning on inviting him to my cousins wedding, which means he’ll be meeting my family…again we’ll see how it goes!

My friends and I are starting to plan our summer camping trips…first up 4th of July weekend!
