Well, it's been a long time since I have written an entry on here. A LOT has happened since the last time I wrote, a lot of things have changed. Over the next few entries, I am going to attempt to refect on some of the things that have been going on recently, and over the summer. I suppose I will start now with the recent things, because that is what is standing out in my mind at the moment.

A whole new group of friends has entered my little world, and it was one of the better things that has happened. My friend Amanda now has the loving, caring boyfriend that she has always dreamed about, but never could find. He was introduced to her by one of her good friends from school. I knew the guy, Kess, I went to junior high and high school with him. From what I knew about him in school, I had a feeling it was going to be a good thing for all of us.

Upon Kess's entering the group, he brought along a few others. I have always been the off the wall weird one of my buddies, every group of friends always has one. I was introduced to Kess's group's weird one, Mike, and we hit it off right away. So, the Buffster has a little boyfriend. Now, I have always been the one that never had a boyfriend, by my own choice. I am always talking about how much I don't want to be tied down to one person while I am still young, that there is plenty of time to decide on someone to settle with, I haven't met the right person, ect. But, the time has finally come when I found someone that is worthy of my precious time.

Amanda and Kess have been together for 3 months now. Mike and I are going on 1 month. It has been rough for Mike and I because of my schedule at work. I was switched to monday through friday 1:30pm to 10pm for an Inventory Prep team. It is a really important thing at work. I chose to do it because I am looking to get promoted some day, and it makes me look really good. I haven't been able to spend much time with him, other than on the weekends. However, we are getting through it because he understands, and now I only have 1 more week of that shift!! (I hope)

It still intrigues me how much things can change in a short period of time. Some friends walk in and out of your life. Others stay and play for awhile, then they leave as well. New ones step in to fill the void that the old ones have left, however can't totally replace. No matter how little or how much time these people spend in your life, their memory is forever etched in mind. But in the end, you can always reflect on the memories and laugh, cry, sigh, and smile.
