These Days Are Passing Over Me at the Speed of Light...

Wow, it's been so long since I've updated my blog. My apologies to all of you who follow up on it once in awhile.

My life has been incredibly full with school and a new relationship. I'm taking a Social Service Worker diploma. The course material is very intense, but being the information junkie that I am, I love every bit of it. Well, except the parts that go against my convictions. That stuff I just ignore. I've had four exams and one project already. I got in the 90's for three of my exams and 82% for one of them. My project I received 92%. So I can say that, overall I'm pleased with my performance. The only thing I wish I could change is that 82%. For the amount of studying I did, I think I should have been able to achieve a higher grade. The questions on the exam were worded in a confusing way, so I was unsure of what the correct answer was. Oh well, I will just work my ass of for the rest of the year and think harder during the exams.

Now, about the new relationship,

This is my new boyfriend Steven. We met on Facebook and we're beginning our third week together. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. I honestly have never met a man like him. I know I have probably said that before, but I think it was because I desparately wanted to believe there was a man out there that satisfied all my needs. The truth is that those other men only satisfied some of my needs, and a few of them satisfied none of my needs. Steve is my miracle. It's like he was dropped out of Heaven just for me. We fit together so well, just like two pieces in the bigger puzzle picture of life. He is all I've ever wanted, all I've ever needed. He's kind, gentle, good, devout, intelligent, articulate, artistic, patient, sensitive, sincere, genuine. He wants to protect me and make me feel safe. He is always calling me gorgeous, beautiful, wonderful. He tells me that God loves me so much. My self-concept has completely changed these past two weeks. I can look at my reflection in the mirror and say "hey you look good". I was never able to do that before. I know it's been only two weeks, but we have talked so, so much--sometimes for 10 hours at a time, I'm totally in love with this man. I never thought I would ever be able to love again after Adam. I didn't want to love again after Adam. I was going to become a Consecrated Single. It looks like God has other plans.
