write

28 Dec 2006 at 6:01 pm

Katie is forcing me to write because it’s been two months. Once, we talked about forcing each other to write every once in a while because we both express the desire to write (and become better at it) yet continually fall through on that desire.

I just listened to her say “write” no less than thirty times, so this is me writing.

I try not to think about it, but I’m a little freaked out over the job search. I was a little freaked out before I left Vermont, but now that I decided to take Christmas off and start the search after the holidays, I’m left with even less time to secure an internship. However, I feel like it will be so much easier to find a suitable restaurant in person instead of over the phone in a distant state, so maybe I’m worried over nothing.

Deciding to take time off may have been scary for work, but it’s been wonderful for me personally. I didn’t realize how much I wanted a Christmas with Katie and family until I was faced with the prospect of missing two in a row.

(missing transition)

The past few weeks have been amazing.

With the move to Greensboro, Katie and I have started a new chapter: never again are we to be apart. No more living in separate cities; no more long distance. We live together in Greensboro, and we’re creating the life we want together. We’re creating dreams and making them come true. Some are simple—Katie has decided on a butter warmer—while others are more involved, like moving back to Vail in a year. One of my favorite things about us is how we make dreams come true. We work really well as a team.

I love that I get to spend every day with her, and when our days are separate, we come back to the same house at the end of it all. It’s our home.

I’m extraordinarily happy and optimistic. I thought I’d share.
