The End Approaches

First off I apologize for waiting over a month to update, Gross Indecency took over and almost all free time for my summer disappeared. I realize there are only four people that follow this, and maybe 3-4 more that will occasionally check it outside of that, but still, sorry for the delay!

I had told Dea quite a while ago that I was tired of feeling like I'm in between stages of my life. I ready for change, and now lots of things are changing with more changes on the way. I recently changed jobs, giving Jess my old one. I truly love my new job! Paid lunches, a trainer who is as liberal as I am (and loves Dan Savage too!), and a $2 an hour raise. It's been an amazing improvement, while I loved my old job, it was below me. The job was overly simplistic and underpaying for what I ultimately was doing compared to the rest of my co-workers. These sentiments will be echoed by Jess no doubt, but just like I did she'll quickly climb to the top and on to a better job.

The next change on the horizon will be my move. I'm leaving the ultimate party house. I'm also moving into an apartment all by myself for the first time in my life. I've always had at least one room mate, this new experience will be interesting. I'm ready for it though. I've lived with John for the past four years and we're both kinda ready for something different, especially now that he's engaged. There is another change that goes with this move, and while most of you know what it is I'm not going to write on that until it begins. (expect an update August 2nd)

Then there's Dea. She's one of my closest friends, and after the first week in August she's gone. Of course I am going to miss her, but all this talk about her and Ryan moving is only getting me more excited for my leaving NM. She's about to undergo a HUGE change, and while I'm a little nervous about the few changes I'm about to go through, I'm also incredibly jealous of the adventure she is about to start. Friendships are rough when they're forced to carry on across distance. This is something I'm used to, as most of my high school friends and I no longer live in the same city. The connection that has been formed, however, doesn't just disappear. As of right now, Denver is the top of my list for places to move when I graduate, so the connection between Dea and I can't dissipate because I, we, still need it.

All this change is thrilling. A little scary as I had said, but thrilling. The times I worry about living alone and getting lonely I simply remind myself that I have amazing friends for the first time since high school. If I get lonely, I only have to call one of the many, or all of the many!

So yeah, Update to come August 2nd. It'll be my first really emotionally exposing blog on this site... But I have one more change to set into motion!
