Ok, So I'm not the best at updating this thing!

It's been a busy year and I'm having loads of fun. I finished my English class and am pretty certain that I did well. Next semester I will embark on the math aspect of my studies. This topic is where I'm lacking and need to get caught up. A few classes and I'll be at the college level.
Since I've been going to the gym, I've lost about 5 pounds. Not much you say, well it has to come off slow at this point. Mainly so it'll stay off for a while. I like the fact that I eat smaller portions and eat a little healthier. I'm still going to eat the things that I love, just not as much. Portion control and a good exercise program, two keys to gettingthe weight off. It doesn't really matter what you eat just how much. At least that's my take on it all.
I'm still head over heels in love with Jaime. I can't tell you how much I love her, I'd have to kill you. No, I'm kidding. I know it sounds corny, but I just couldn't see myself with anyone else. She's what I've been searching, a true love. My true love. I cherish everyday that I'm with her. We compliment each other very well. I can see us remaining together forever. I LOVE YOU JAIME!
Other than that, I'm just plain ol' happy. I can't explain it any better than that. Christmas and New Years are on their way. OOOOOO I can't wait! I also look forward to the spring to go kayaking, camping, and golfing. Maybe a few bike rides. Take a few hikes and just enjoy life with the ones I love. Every now and again, you have to sit back and really appreciate the things that you have. Life is too short to get caught up in a bunch of crap.

And It's Been A While. . .

well, well, well. It's been a long time, for i've had other things to do then sit and write on the computer. I have been so busy but i like it that way. I've fallen deep in love with the love of my life, Jaime Lancaster and have been spending as much time as she'll let me spend with her. We have gone to the renaissance festival twice this year and i absoutely loved it. The first time we went, we saw Albannach, an incredible Celtic pipes and drums band. Very primal might i add. The threat of rain stopped us from getting into costume for it. That's ok because the second time we went, she got into costume. I didn't have mine yet i was able to suprise her with it on another occassion. I can't believe i've found someone with the passion, creativity and the eye for beauty. That's another topic in itself.

My college class is going pretty good. We're on the third paper and i've done farely well on the first two, getting B's on both. One of my personal response essays i recieved an A-. Not bad for being out of the education loop for nearly a decade. Other than that, i removed my parents pool and the deck that surrounded it in about 4 hours total. 2 for tear down and two for transporting the waste the the landfill.

I spent a week away from Jaime because she was in the Grand Cayman Islands, Lucky! I have never missed anyone before like i missed her. I felt a little separation anxiety. But I knew she'd be back in Maryland soon enough, still a little hard though. She got to see the Grand Cayman Mermaid 130 yards and 55 feet down in the water. I could only imagine how awesome that would be in person. She sat on a beach with crystal clear water and also became a certified SCUBA diver. Yeah. . . she can dive. I'm happy she's back and i'm ready to spend much more time with her. I just don't want to feel like I'm smothering her.

Anyway that's about all that's on my mind right now so. . . yeah.

First Day Jitters

First day of class wasn't too bad. I feel that it will be an experience and a pleasure to be in this class. The professor seems to know his stuff. He wants us to not only write about the good, but also the bad. His grades are based upon improving skills that may be lacking. He feels it's not what you write about, it's how you write about it. Keep him interested and to be precise with you points you make. to be continued. . .

Guess Where??

This place was an unexpected treat from my love. She suprised me tonight with a trip to what seemed like a far away paradise. This place was built out of love for the architectural features of the times. Castle times that is. So take a look and maybe you'll guess where this hidden beauty is located.

The Story of Our Lives

If you don't know by now, I'm dating someone. An old friend from my high school years. We got reintroduced by her sister around the end of April. A little rocky start but got better and better each time I saw her. Everytime I talk to her, I get to know more and more about her. She's very down to earth and aware of who she is and what she wants. She has a way with words and says the sweetest things. Her touch is so tender and loving. One of her many attractive features is her love and passion for music. Music is important to me and she hears things in music that not many others can't and don't hear. I can get lost in a song and lose myself in a rhythm. I don't think I could function without it.
Her strong will and big heart are by far my favorite features. She's a very beatiful and talented woman. By talented I mean she can play multiple instruments. That's awesome. I find myself getting lost in her glowing eyes and don't want to be found. I enjoy spending time with her and never want to let go from a deep imbrace.There's so much more to tell you but I have to sleep now. Jaime, Your amazing!

Out On The Reservoir

I got a new toy and of course i had to take it for a swim. A 9'6" kayak to be exact. I decided to go to a local reservoir and try it out. Might I add it was a little weird. I haven't been on the water in almost 15 years. Needless to say, I was able to find my groove with the paddle and got going. I decided not to go out too far because, after all it was my first time in a kayak. So I paddled for about a mile and turned around to go back. All in all it was a fun experience, although i wouldn't mind having a little company but not nessesary. Took some sweet pics from the middle of the first section.

Wow!!!!

So I have not updated in a while and that's because I've been busy. Not just at my regular job but other side jobs as well. So to further update you all. I have met an incredible person. Someone who is caring, generous, thoughtful, and most of all, whole hearted. I almost gave up on the whole shabang. But then from left field comes this completely amazing and wonderful person into my life and showed me that there is still hope for mankind. That, outside my family, there are still genuine people. And as you all know, over the past years have been coming into myself. becoming more and more secure with who i am and who I'm going to be. Yes i do have struggles, but that's what makes us real. If we don't get pushed every now and again, then how do we know that we are alive. I truthfully say that I'm comfortable with who i've become and wouldn't change a thing. I will still go to school this fall, and persue my goals in life but i will be the same person that i grew into. The craziest thing is my life is nowhere near over and i have so many more things to do. Bring it on! Platinum Bitches!
