Long Time

So I know it has been a long time since I have updated you on my life.  I guess I found it hard to talk about and still do.  I lost my job and am currently still looking.  I have faith I will find something soon.  I guess it takes a little time to change from one field of work to another.

Then on to my love life.  I met a guy at Homecoming.  It was easy to talk to him and be with him.  I thought I could be with him for the rest of my life and would be happy.  Well I guess life has a way... and his feelings changed for me and we are no longer.  Even though it was short, I still cared for him more deeply than I can say.  But I'm not going to convince someone to be with me nor do I deserve anything less than someone being truly happy with me.

So, I know I fall for people fast and that isn't going to change probably for the rest of my life, but I'm learning to trust how I feel for people.  I'm just hoping that maybe someone will one day feel for me as I feel for them.  It is always the problem of one person caring way more than the other, enough not to be with them.  Whether it has been me in the past that hasn't had my heart in it or the other way around.

So that is the sad in my life.  I think the difference is I'm not losing faith in people.  The last time I felt this way I lost my faith in guys.  I'm trying to stay positive.

On a fun and happy note.  My parents have an exchange student from Austria named Phillip.  He is a great kid and it has been fun getting to know him.  He is actually coming up to Baltimore tomorrow to see the city.  We are going to show him some holiday stuff and around the good areas of the city.  It will be fun.  So if you have seen that I have added a brother on facebook.  That is because we have.  We had a lot of fun doing our Christmas card photo shoot this year.

Anyways till next time, maybe I will have better news.

The little things in life

So... it has been a while.  Julie got married and her wedding was a blast.  You can see some of the photos. this-is-baltimore-hon-julie-and-dave

I have moved.  It really is a nice place.  I'm still getting things in it's place.  I will post over time some of the upgrades that I have made.  It is all the little things that make me like it 10 times better than the last house.

I never realized how things stick with you.  I never wanted to cook at the old house.  It was always something that I hated and I never really thought of why... Well now that I'm in the new house and settled I have made dinner almost every night.  I found the joy in it again.  It is amazing the memories that a place can hold that you never think about.

Here is to new stories at the new house.

2 months

I can't believe that it has been just over 2 months since my surgery.  And I get to stop wearing the brace all the time in another month.  I will be excited to get back into different things.  It will really make me happy. 

In other news, I can't believe Julie is getting married next weekend.  It feels like just yesterday she met Dave and then he proposed.  I'm so happy that I get to be a part of their big day.   I'm so happy for them.  I also have a new house that we are renting.  I'm moving at the end of June and we will be adding a third roommate.  He is a random person but he seemed nice when we met him.  He already lived in the house we are renting so it should be fun.  It is a bigger house that we are moving to and it has a rooftop deck so I'm happy.

Life in the Slow Lane

So I can't believe that it has been 4 weeks since I had surgery.  Life has changed a lot for me over the past 2 months.  I had to rely on others for rides for a few weeks and it takes me so much longer to get places and do simple things.  But it has also made me realize that I truly am blessed.  Everyone in my life has been amazing and I couldn't ask for anything better.  There has been lots of support and I have been fortunate enough to have friends willing to cart me around so I can still join in the fun.  Recovery has been a slow process and it has been a blessing in disguise because I have been able to re-see all the beauty that is around me every day. 

So I am going to keep going slow and hopefully heal fast.  Maybe I will see that much more in life and not lose sight of all the world has to offer.

ACL

So what has been going on with me?  Long story short, I went skiing and tore my acl.  I will be having surgery on Friday to get it reconstructed.  I'm very happy to be getting it over with so soon.  It means I'm on the road to recovery and will be better than ever sooner rather than later.

Other than that there really hasn't been much else going on in my life... mainly because I haven't been very mobile.  The only other thing is I am now a member of the Baltimore Buzz Brigade.  I get to help out Baltimore tourism and show off the city I love to others.  I don't really know all that it entails but I'm really excited to see more of the city for this.

So cool...

 So this past weekend Dana and I went Glass Blowing.  It was so cool.  We got to pick out the colors and actually make it.  The studio actually has some really cool work too.  Mcfadden Art Glass   Here are some photos of the advenuture.

 I know they actually let us throw our flowers in the fire

The owner showing us how to pick out the flower petals... It was a lot harder than I expected.

 

So this was the bottle of wine we had after at the restaurant next door.  My favorite was the "wine bucket"

 The finished product!

 I think I'm going to go again sometime and maybe make a vase next time.
