I'm alive!!!

Wow. It's been a long time since I've posted here. I wonder if I even have readers left. I guess I'll find out soon enough. If you're still good enough to be checking my blog from time to time to see if I'm still kicking, then I thank you and the answer is "yes, I am still kicking." A lot has been going on in my life lately. Most of you are my facebook friends and were probably aware that I am in a relationship with Kayla again. After we broke up the first time, I was still interested in her and realizied that I had done a bunch of things wrong the first time around and hadn't really built our friendship while we were going out the first time. So I began to pursue a friendship with her over the next month or so while being open and honest with her about my feelings. She decided to give me a second chance :) and things have been going really well. In fact, today is our two-month anniversary. We just went shopping and tonight we are going to the olive garden (her favorite restuarant) and probably seeing a movie after that (we haven't decided which one). So that's been keeping me really busy lately.

The exciting news of the month is that Kayla and I are going to D.C. on Monday for the Inauguration of Barack Obama. We have some friends that live in Maryland and we'll be able to stay with them. I didn't vote for Obama and I don't agree with his politics and his view of government scares me, but it will be an historic day for our nation and I am glad that we elected an African-American to the office of President. So even though I didn't vote for Obama, I am for racial equality and I think that this is a step in the right direction even if it means that our country goes in the crapper economically and politically for the next four years or so ;).

Anyway, I'm going to keep this one brief, so thanks for hanging in there with me and I'll try to post more frequently in the future. May God bless you and cause his face to shine upon you and give you peace.
