It's Been Awhile...

You know how occasionally you'll hear a song on the radio/ipod/ZUNE that just sparks a memory or some type of inspiration? Well, I guess you could say something like that happened to me. Butch Walker has a new album out, called "I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart", and the last song on the album is called "Be Good Until Then". The song is written from a father to a child and gives him some advice on how to go about his life. Which got me thinking how I was doing.

About 4 months ago I made the choice to move down to Louisiana to be closer to Sierra. It was a bit of a risk, because I was moving my entire life down here for her. Now granted, moving to Louisiana does open me up to many more federal positions for here in the Gulf region. But that was only a side bonus. The biggest bonus and the whole reason for moving down here was for her. And so far, I like to think that it has worked out fairly well. I mean, she and I are still happy together, we've discovered that we can put up with each other on a daily basis and still be happy. So far it has proven to be a very beneficial move.

When she and I first started dating I knew she was special. I knew she had come in to my life for a major reason, which reason I did not fully understand at that point. At first, I thought maybe it was just for a much smaller reason. But now, after being down here for 4 months, I've begun to discover that the reason was so much more than what I first thought. It becomes clearer and clearer everyday what the plan is for us. And it's more and more exciting every day. It seems that moving down to Louisiana has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Things haven't been moving as smoothly as one could hope with the job search, but it seems that at this point, that's not as important anymore. It's easy to say that at this point in my life, she has been the best thing to happen to me since my mission to Cambodia.

Who's got two thumbs and is the luckiest guy in the world?!?! THIS GUY!
