twists in life

falling deeper in love doesnt mean life becomes simple and problems fix themselves. no, in my case life is getting a little bit trickier. im not saying that i am exempt from the trials of life, its just that possibilities just opened up to me and i dont know which one to take. you see, i am now one of the many looking for work in this economic mess. i got laid off along with 30 other good people at my job. well, former job.

i am now a licensed massage therapist, and i am trying to gain a position as a massage therapist at a spa, but even that has been a challange so far. Brandon will be home feb 14th (my own valintine!) and i want to move to cali to be closer to him, which of course he is all for, but i fear moving there. ive always wanted to branch out and go new places and live an adventure if you will, before i get married and have children, but its tricky leaving all i know back here in utah. im still thinking. i would love to be close to him, he has to stay in cali for a few reasons for now. it will be interesting to see how things play out in the future i think.

brandon and i are doing wonderful, i still think that he is the most amazing person on this earth, though he will tell you different. he's my blessing. i am flying to california to meet him off the bus at camp pendleton and then i get to spend a week there with him just us. im so excited!!! then we are driving to utah so i can meet more of his family and he can meet mine :).

you know, i never pictured myself with a military man. i was always afraid of the time away and the fears and worries that came with that. i actually told myself i wouldnt date anyone in the military. Brandon tells me that after this he is getting out, that he is done and wants to be home. he has served his time and i more than happily support him in this, but something new for me, i support him in whatever it is he feels he needs to do. i would wait forever for him. i do worry, but everything is different, and im ok with my military man. i hope i never loose him. i have more respect and understanding-if only a little glimps of understanding- for the families, mothers wives and children who have fathers over seas. its not easy, but to all those faithful back home, i respect them. my man is wonderful and he is doing his best out there. im greatful to him for what he does for us. he takes no thought of himself. its his job. and i love him.
