Ah so, for weeks I've been promising you all an update on my life. As you can imagine, this journal is going to be mighty lengthy, so hunker down
First and foremost, the long awaited update on my relationship. I'm so sorry I left you all waiting!

There are two pictures of Jonathan and I, one actually of us, and the other of our equisona's. Aren't we adorable?
The relationship I have with Jonathan is a long distance one most of the time. He lives in Kentucky close to where my roommate, Maddy lives, and I live in Pennsylvania, a good 10 hours away by car. However that doesn't bother us at all, and it didn't stop him from driving all the way up here to see me on June 20-23. Now if that isn't devotion, I don't know what is!
The first time we met face to face was amazing. He got out of his car and walked up my drive just as it began to hail. Both of my parents and myself were standing on the porch waiting for him, and when he came through the gate the first thing he did was wrap me in a big hug. After that he greeted both of my parents and I took him upstairs to put away his things. The next thing that happened was nothing less than fairytale-esque.
Before he had even dropped his things upon the floor, he grabbed me and gave me the most wonderful kiss I've ever experienced. I couldn't even stand, my knees just nearly buckled beneath me. It left me completely breathless. It was perfect.
For the next three days, we didn't stray from each other's sides. During the day we walked through the state park and sat by the waterfalls there talking blissfully with one another and holding hands. I took him to the barn to see the horses, and layed on the floor while I listened to him play songs he wrote on the guitar. (He's very, very good by the way, and plays beautifully!) One night we stood on the bridge overlooking the lake, and it was cold so he took his shirt off and wrapped it around my shoulders, and then held me to warm me up. I have to say, that every single moment I spent with him was perfect, but the nights spent with him were my favorite.
My friend Bobbi allowed us to stay during the duration of his visit in her spare guest bedroom. The darker hours were spent whispering, touching, kissing and cuddling. One evening when I returned from changing in the bathroom, I was surprised to find a couple candles lit in our room. And in the soft, flickering glow of the dancing flames we made love for the first time, and he whispered softly to me that he loved me, and that I was the one.
-sigh- That weekend went by so quickly. In the blink of an eye he was getting back in his car to brave the 10 hour drive back to Kentucky. Despite how terribly sad I was, I made sure I didn't cry. I didn't want to make the situation any harder for him than it already was.
Despite being nearly a month since we physically saw each other, our feelings for each other grow everyday. We make sure we keep in touch via texts, instant messaging, and long, delightful phone calls. It's the strangest feeling, because even though I miss him, it's not an unbearable feeling. I think it' because for the first time in my life, I completely trust someone, and I know that when the time comes to see each other again, he'll be there again. Same as always.
So there is the story of how I first met Jonathan. Of course I tried to keep it as short as possible, because I could probably write a book about that weekend, and him in general. Being in love is such a wonderful feeling, especially since I know for sure, that this time it really IS love.
My last day of work is August 7th, so on the 8th I'm flying down to Kentucky to see him, and Maddy for a week before my family vacation to Maine. (I'm sure you'll all understand if I'm not around too much during that week
As far as the rest of my life goes, it's been anything but blissful. I havn't been up to the barn in about a month to ride, because honestly I just cannot find the strength to even drive myself over there. It's rather depressing, but I try to live my life one day at a time. Living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is anything but a party, but at least I'm still living.
Oh! Do you all remember the little baby bunny I rehabbed a few months back? Well, apparently the word got around that I was successful, so a few days ago a man brought me 3 more wild baby bunnies to rehabilitate.
As far as my bunny is concerned, she is so bad. Everything within her reach around the perimeter of my room has thoroughly been destroyed. Everything from my cell phone charger cord, to my book shelf, to the posters on my wall, to the drywall in the bathroom, to my tissue box has been chewed/ripped/demolished.
It's not like Chloe doesn't have her own things to destroy. I've pretty much bought her every single bunny toy they've ever made, and still, she feels the need to chew on everything BUT. -sigh- Maybe she's going through her bunny terrible twos...I don't know. Her only saving grace is that she's so damn cute. How do you expect me to stay mad at a fluffy white bunny? Yeah...that's what I thought.
As far as actual ART goes, I have 8 WIP's in my folder, not including the next chapter of TOF. (I'm sorry to everyone that I owe things to, but I have not forgotten about you!) Speaking of chapters, I meant to ask you all a question. Recently I saw that *leadmare made a board to discuss ideas for her book, The Northern Herd. I was wondering if you guys thought that it would be beneficial to my novel, A Twist of Fate, if I did something similar? Would any of you guys be interested in utilizing a site like that for my book? If there is no interest, and no one is going to actually suggest anything or give me tips on my writing or plot there, then there's really no point in me creating a board. I'd appreciate it if you all could give me some feedback on that idea.
Lets see, what else? Move in day at Centenary College is August 30th, are you all as excited as I am???
I'll try my best to keep you all updated more often than every couple months on my life. However if you need to talk to me urgently for any reason, a note is probably the best way to go. Although I'm trying my darndest to get through my watch, I'm failing miserably. To those of you who I haven't gotten to yet, I'm sorry! But I have not forgotten you!
PS WTF is up with my super fancy journal? It WAS working until they upgraded DA...grrrrr
