Everything happens for a reason

I need to get better at posting. I think it would really help me. Okay, so healthcheck, where am I at. Well, I moved, ditched the ol' crappy roommate situation, my sister and brother in law, whom I love dearly built me a room in their house until I get my own place. They had help from my dad and a couple of neighbors, but they got it done in no time flat. So I packed everything in a POD (with the help of Barry, don't know what I would have done without him) and moved in the beginning of March. Mom and Dad went to AZ, had a good time. J and I went to FL, had beautiful weather and a really good time. My sister and her husband took their trip to Jamaica while my mom and I watched the kids.

I turned 36. Or as I like to say, I celebrated the 15th Anniversary of my 21st year. It was nice, I decided to not deal with other peoples drama and just enjoy my day and did. I have met someone. The night before Easter. I didn't think it was going to happen and had even given up. The afternoon before I met him I had taken my profile down from Match. I had been on a few dates, met a few guys, but nothing I was thrilled about AT ALL. And then he came along. Not only can I not keep my hands off of him, but he is charming, smart, funny and one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. I am lucky, that is all I have to say. So it has been just over two weeks and we have been out together three times (tomorrow is number four) and I enjoy him more and more every day. He makes me feel special, and he is a good listener and was as an excellent conversationalist. We have had some amazing chats on the telephone and our emails that go back and forth are sometimes the only thing that gets me through my days. So everything is good in my love life. Physically we are taking things slow, which I think is also nice, and I think that shows that we are both committed to having a serious and strong relationship.

I have not made any progress on the work front, that is next. I need to get my resume updated and get it out there. It appears as though the company that I am currently working for is not going to be of that much help, so I am on my own. I have some good contacts out there and I know that I am smart enough to land something decent, I just need to get out there and look. Then will be somewhere to live. It will fall into place, eventually.

I start my '06 Tennis season tonight. I am looking forward to that. I am playing on three different teams so that should keep me busy. The "guy" is very supportive which is also nice. But he takes VERY good care of his body so I can see why. Anything physical. It is nice to have that support though.

I am still missing my girls from out East everyday. I have still not made a good girlfriend here that I feel I can depend and rely on which is so hard. I have my girls out East though and I talk to them daily which means the world to me.

I have been saying that everything happens for a reason for a while. I truly believe this. I think that a lesson is learned out of a lot of things and that people are brought into our lives for a reason. I think this is true.
