Life, thus far...

It's been quite some time since I have used this thing. And I'm kinda busy so I'll try to make this as brief as possible.

I am back in the shape I once was, and improving greatly since the holidays are now over. I am working full time now as a CNC technician, and am training for Cabinet Vision software. And also, the woman I mentioned last post, Gretchen, and I are still going stronger than ever.

I feel better than I have in a long time. I feel healthy(ish), I feel accomplished in what I do, I feel like I'm getting somewhere with the band, and I feel like I could win no lottery amount that makes me as happy as I am with Gretchen.

When we are together it's like a  huge nerd-off, in all of our conversations. When we aren't discussing which River is better (Tam or Song), we are being overly cute with each other, or acting ridiculous. A lot of people would call our average day together (lay in bed and watch movies/shows, whilst cuddling and occasionally breaking for a tickle fight or to look into each other's eyes) boring, but I call it heaven. I could have the worst day and be fine if she was there beside me to hold me at night. I have never been this head-over-heels for someone in my life. We seem to have so many similarities that it almost seems too good to be true. And as this Valentine's Day draws near, I am constantly reminded of how much I love this woman and would not let her go for anything in the world. She is the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

I think the reason I posted this here is because it ISN'T Facebook. The fact that no body will probably read it makes it more personal and special, I think.

I'm off. Gotta get back to work.

And whenever you do read this, baby: Happy Valentine's Day! I love you so, very, very much!
