It's been a while

It's been a long time since I've posted and a lot has happened since I last did. I figured that while taking a small break from my paper (thanks to @CharmingGrump for the tip) I'd write some stuff down. At least one person (Dean) has asked me to post because they miss reading my ramblings. Hopefully some of you guys feel the same way.

A little bit of background before I tell you what has happened. I met this guy in 2008, we quit talking in ... the summer of 2009 I think, we started talking two Octobers ago and quit talking in March of last year. It's been a roller-coaster to say the least. So, I get this message around Christmas time asking if we could talk again. That he missed me and knew he didn't deserve a second chance to be a part of my life, but wanted to know if I would accept him into my life again. So, I did. Slowly. He said that it was no pressure and that we would talk when I was ready and when things were on my terms, so that I would know he was serious.

So, a few weeks ago he came over to hang out. We talked through most of the movies we had put on, and it was actually the best conversation we have probably had since we started talking in 2008. We were genuine, honest and open with each other. To top all of it off, we hugged at the end of the night and we parted ways. We've kept talking since then, and I am so blessed and grateful that this person is back in my life. We've had our ups and downs, but I am so glad that he is a person that is back in my life, and back in my life to stay. :-)

More has happened.

Last week, I learned that a friend of mine from camp passed away in a tragic snowmobile accident near Wainwright. She was 24 years old. Along with her was her fiance, her unborn child, and an 18 year old friend of theirs. May they all rest in peace for eternity. I was so heartbroken to hear the news of her passing and carefully told a mutual friend of ours. I'm beyond glad that our camp program is taking some time to recognize her this year at staff planning and in the newsletter that we all get.

Also. For those of you who have asked about my new twitter avi (@BuhlerFerris). I have the faux-hawk. The girl next to me is my little sister (@jbuhls). Now you all know. :-)

I should probably continue on with this paper. Speaking of deadlines, this is due tomorrow, I have a 5 page paper due on Tuesday, a final on the 12, and then finals on the 18, 19, 20. Oh, and then I start school again on May 7 for the spring semester. One class in 3 weeks: 9-12 M-F until the end of May. Then, another class starting in June, another class jammed into 3 weeks, plus a lab: 9-12, 1230-330 M-F. If you don't hear from me for May-June, please don't panic. I have either drowned in books and flashcards or crawled into a hole and done the "My Girl"-rock-back-and-forth-singing-the-Witch-Doctor until school was over. I look forward to seeing you all at the end of June. ;-)
