Happy days are here again!

So I've got some big updates to share! The first, for those of you who haven't already seen it on Facebook, is that I am a girlfriend to someone for the first time in about 4 years. :) His name is Tyler. We actually met through that dating site that I've mentioned on here. Tyler sent me a message and we started talking. We met for coffee a couple of days later and things have just progressed from there. He's 29 and he works for a TV station here as the Master Control Operator...basically he makes sure shows and commercials air properly. I've been to his work a couple of times and it's pretty cool. I got to sit in the studio while they did a live newscast, I got to sit behind the anchor desk, and I got to meet some of the pseudo famous Channel 6 personalities. (FYI, Don Nelson is usually wearing jeans, not dress pants! ;)) It's only been a few weeks but we really click. I've missed that feeling of actually wanting to be with someone all the time and having them feel that way about you too. I was pretty scared about getting into a relationship again because of all my emotional baggage from the past, but in the end I realized that if I let those fears run my life then I would lose out on a lot of great things. My instinct said to go for it, so I have. Tyler makes me really happy. Right now I'm just seeing where life takes us but so far, soooo good! :)

And my second piece of big news is that I will hopefully be moving into my own apartment on May 8th! I'm just waiting to get final word from the apartment management that my application was approved, which I'm hoping won't be a problem. It is a two-bedroom apartment in Meridian...about 10 minutes from my office, I believe. I really am so excited I can hardly contain myself! :) This will be my first place that is ALL MINE! It's going to be amazing. I will post pictures of the place once I get settled, but all y'all should keep your fingers crossed for me this weekend that I get approved!

Other than those two news items, it's pretty much same ol', same ol' around here. Last weekend I went to Rexburg to visit my sister and dad. It was a good time! My niece is just cuter and cuter every time I see her! And my nephew Zack rode there and back with me so we had some good bonding time. OH! And I got my nose pierced finally. No one in my family likes it, but Tyler and my friends do...and I do. I'll post a picture of it soon. :) It's really not a permanent thing anyway. I will probably leave it in for a year or two and that's it.

Anyway, I will write again soon with apartment and boy updates!
