[Jamie's Innerworkings] "Slightly Bored and Severely Confused"

Saturday, December 27, 2008

blessed be ...

So in the summer I wrote a post about 2008 being the "year of Jamie" and I'm happy to say it has been a success. As New Years is fast approaching, I've been reflecting on the last year.

It will be Mike and I's one year anniversary in a couple of weeks, and he is the man I want to be with. He is wonderful, and kind and gentle and loves me so much. He respects and cherishes me, and I him. When I think of a future with him, I just feel so ... complete. Heck, I can even envision the little pooping machines babies we'll have.

I had my moments of worries and self doubt and there have been some challenges but Mike and I have come through them stronger and better. We have had very few disagreements/quarrels, but I have stuck with the one relationship rule I believe is so important. To never go to bed angry or upset. He knows me. He knows me when I'm happy, and when I'm miserable and when I'm just being a bitch (I mean, I'm never bitchy, I'm Saint Jamie, I don't make shoppers employees cry [that's for you missina]). And he loves me and cares for me every step of the way.

He is moving out of his parents place to an apartment with his friend Andrew (he moved in with his parents after he was done school). And I'm excited for the new chapter in our relationship that his new independence will bring. I'm hoping to maybe be engaged by the summer.

I have one class left to take, I was going to take it in September but it got cancelled. So I'll be officially done in April, and the plan is to look for a new job in the spring. I enjoy who I work for (for the most part), but there is no growth left for me there. The job above mine is the owner's wife's job. So I really don't think I'll be getting promoted anymore haha.

I've also lost almost 30 pounds since the summer, and I'm really proud of myself.

So ya. Operation "year of jamie" ... major success.
