Hello, lovely reader.

I'm reaching two year ~sobriety~ as I like to call it, and a lot has happened.
That July/August 2009 I went on a road trip with Jaron.
I spent Fall 2009 slacking off and meeting a girl in my alternative photo processes who would become one of my best friends.
Winter 2009/2010 left me depressed, and at the very end of my vacation I met a guy named Patrick. I swear I'd met him previously, but possibly not.
Things happened between us quickly, and I had to leave shortly after.
While in Maryland visiting Ashley & Kevin, he drove down on a jar of change to officially ask me out.
I spent Spring 2010 completing a Certificate in Forensic Investigations. My teacher told me I couldn't do it, but I did with a 3.6666 GPA. 18 credits.
I visited Patrick Feb 14th weekend and Spring Break. He visited for Spring Break.
He did a completely selfless act and helped me move out to NY for the summer to live with him!
We've visited each other on and off during the school semesters, and he plans to help me move out to NY for the summer again.
We had many adventures, and I've never felt so in love. I don't want this feeling to go away.
