the long awaited post....

those of you who read my blog regularly have probably noticed that i haven't posted anything of any substance in quite a while. the only excuse i can give is that i've been trying to figure out how exactly to write this out.

i have met the most amazing man....
his name is Chris. we met on may 27th and pretty much knew we were going to be together right then and there. instant chemestry. he's tall, dark, and handsom...so funny...easy-going, fun to be around, and most of all...he loves Jehovah. we've been dating now for almost 2 months. the whole thing started off really rocky since he's 31 years old and i'm only 20 and still living at home. my parents were not too keen on the whole concept. my dad's still having some issues, but things are better now.

chris and i are so amazingly happy together. he just seems to "get" me. i know it sounds so cliche' and everything...but we just fit. i have never felt this way before about anyone. he makes me feel so special and beautiful and comfortable and safe. i can just be myself around him. and that is quite a special feeling.

we've got to spend a lot of time together lately. he was up in omak working for a couple weeks last month and we've spent weekends together. we went to canada for the summerland folk festival and then he came up for the omak stampede. lots of fun! and then all last week i was down in wenatchee for training through the bank. so i'd spend my days at the bank and my evenings with him. it was a pretty amazing week.

so i finally had a chance to post about my newest blessing. i've got some pictures that i'll post soon of the both of us. i'm just so excited to finally have some real happiness in my life. :)

and chris...i know you're reading this...thank you for finding me. i love you more than words can say.

g'nite all

there is so much to say.....

and i only have like five minutes during my break from work to post. its been way to long and i've been way to busy. good busy...but still busy.

highlights:

• summerland folk festival aug. 4-5
  
• omak stampede aug. 11-13
  
• and all the little moments in between
  

i've got lots of great pictures that i'll hopefully have a chance to post soon. and also something pretty special that i've been waiting to post about until i have time to really write it out. soon enough...

so until then...keep smiling. life isn't supposed to be easy.

:)
