I cannot believe it has been seven months since I last blogged on here. I got so caught up with a bunch of events that I barely noticed the time blew by.

What's new:
-I quit my old miserable job in November and got to spend four weeks with Judsen and two weeks in North Carolina/ Texas with my family. It was a much needed break after the stress that company caused me.
-I started a new job that was 65+ hours a week. It is fantastic despite the hours, and the long work weeks kept me from missing J.
-I moved out of the mold-infested, annoying roommates household and now have a great 9th floor pad of my very own that is so nice!
-J broke up with me for approximately 48 hours the night I was supposed to move. Needless to say, I was devastated. It came out of nowhere - and he did it in such a way that all my friends and family thought was ridiculously rude. I rented a moving van for my things since he said he could drive one, he called me that morning and asked me if I still had it reserved - yep good to go. I had bought him a $200 plane ticket - he called me an hour before he was supposed to leave and said he couldn't get on the plane and didn't want to be with me anymore. Apparently his family who HATES me convinced him that I was no good, didn't support his dreams, and was a gold digger. We reconciled when he realized that all his friends knew we were good for each other, spoke to him about it and convinced him he was crazy.
- I got my kitten! She is quite a handful and super adorable. I am so happy she is in my life. My little love fuzzball.
-J and I have seen each other three times during the past four months. Fun times.
-J got into a med school two hours from me! We're a bit bummed because the original plan was to only be apart for one whole year- he was supposed to get into a Maryland med school, but none of them got back to him during the applicaiton process, nor did the DC schools. At least he's in a school where I know a few good friends nearby and can visit them when he needs to study. He is moving in July and we're taking a three week vacation together in June.

In one week we will have been apart for 11 months. What have I learned in that time? Find things that keep you busy. Try to make friends (I'm still trying to do this!). Make sure you communicate with each other - we call every day, twice a day for maybe a total of a half hour and Skype about once a week. I love him to pieces, but I have a rough patch a day or two a month and he just lets me figure it out by myself. I think there has been only three or four days when I haven't worn my Loving from a Distance bracelet - it carries him with me wherever I go.

Hopefully some more updates in the future in a timely manner - it's hard when I am already keeping up with two blogs!
