I think I need to really start updating this more often. I miss the community here; it has something LJ and Blogger don't.

It's been a crazy year; I've been with Logan since last december, and it's been both whirlwind and comfortable all at once. I can honestly say i've never been happier in a relationship - we have our problems, every couple does, but after all this time he still makes me smile and gives me butterflies. Not too shabby. He's deployed (who ever thought i'd get with a military guy, eh?) and due back...well, not for a while.

School is still school - don't let anyone fool you, college sucks just as much as high school except you pay for the stress. In my last update I was starting Junior year.. now i'm finishing my senior year. I managed to finish up fall semester with a 3.32 GPA between the constant drinking and random road trips, camping trips, and trips into San Francisco and Beserkly.

I made a 15 hour road trip to washington to see my boyfriend before he deployed, which was amazing. I know i'm a total city kid at heart, but the older I get, the more I love getting out into nature. His place is in the literal middle of butt-fuckin' nowhere and I gotta be honest, other than the lack of internet connection, it was awesome. Of course, we almost got rained in, but it made me start thinking (seriously) about all of the things we've talked about. Buying up some land, building a house.. pets, time together...For the first time in a while it wasn't completely terrifying to think of that stuff.

I'm at my mother's place for the holidays; Spending time with friends, mostly Lauren, but I did see Kim and Chris, and i'll be spending new years with Gina and Kirby and Jason. We'll see how the last bit of time off goes.

My birthday was really mellow - we didnt do much, although a few days later Lauren took me ice skating at the Del. I'm an old lady now - 22! it seems weird to me... I never really thought I'd make it this far. Now look at me - ready to graduate college, in a steady relationship, about to start a damned good career. Who the hell thought I'd end up reasonably well-adjusted? Christ, not me, thats for sure.

Mostly i've been waiting for that first call Logan - he hasn't called me since he deployed and i'm trying to be okay with that. I know he is very busy and the phones suck and he'll call when he can. but UGHHHHH This is what I hate about deployments.
