I'd like to say, I wish I could use my journal the way Venice does, she just puts everything out there and it's wonderful for me because I can keep up with her life that way, even though she only lives a few blocks away. Reading her updates is one of my favorite things to do when I sit down at my computer.

Tonight I have to spend my first night alone in my new apartment. My boyfriend has been really great and stayed a few nights because I was nervous, but eventually you have to go sleep in your own bed, no matter how much you like a person. Besides, I live here, this is my home, I need to be a big girl and sleep by...

I hate the first night alone in a new place, makes me so sad & lonely. 
I found the most beautiful apartment and today I get to go and get the keys. I feel like everything in my life has led up to this, and that all of the 'mistakes' I've made no longer matter because they all led me here and I am so happy and content.

That is so good!
When I was still living with my parents, I went over to a friend of mine's friend's apartment with him. That day, while we were visiting his friend, I had to use their bathroom. While I was in the bathroom I suddenly realized I wanted to move out of my parents house & be on my own. I thought to myself, in that bathroom "I want to have an apartment just like this one!"
A month or so later I moved into the same apartment building as his friend & afew years later, while they were remodeling the building, they moved me into the very apartment where I had made that decision. That is where I still live right now.
Sometimes, when I am in now MY bathroom, I think of that moment & smile.

I'm glad things are going soooo... well for you right now!!! Keep it up! 
Almost everything in life is wonderful. Work is great, friends are great, and boyfriend is very great. The only thing wrong is that the house I was moving into just completely fell through, and I already put in my notice, so now I have about a week to find a place to live, and then about a week to move into it. Venice and I...

I went out after work with some coworkers tonight, and I had a lot of fun. I've never actually been out with these guys before because the last time I worked with them I wasn't of age to go out, so this was nice. Now It's almost three in the morning and I just got home and now I'm waiting to see if my sweetheart...

If you still want to come, I would love to have you. But I don't want to make you give up any of your life here. Plus, I would have to know that you were absolutely serious about it, if it came down to it. But that's all details I guess. Of course I want you to come. But you don't have to come, I would be okay if you didn't.
venice:
Oh, honey, I need you all the time. I just don't want you to think you have to come. And of course it's important to me to do something big alone, and I could if I had to. It would just be way more fun, and way less terrifying, and way... better all around if you were there. I would probably have a freak out because of having no friends right away if you weren't. But I don't want to feel like I'm dragging you across the country, you know?
God I'm not very good at keeping up with this. I have somehow become part of several online communities by request of others and I wasn't even good at being part of one. Oh well. I am about to move further away from my friends very soon so I will probably have more time on my hands then. I am moving into a house with...

venice:
Thanks, darling. And really, I of all people should understand the need to do something by yourself, for yourself. Really, I'm glad that you're moving and starting over and just being yourself for once. It's about time. I just can't help being a little selfish in there too... I'm sure you understand that. 
Except the last time you were thinking selfishly while I was doing things for myself, they both happened to line up. So lucky you.

I hope it goes well for you at the new house. You have had a lot of changes in your life recently and I must admit you are a strong person to take them all as well as you have appeared to.
BTW the new pic looks great even prettier

It occurrs to me that I don't really know how to be in a new relationship. I am young and for the majority of my (since I could date) youth I have been with one man, one man who didn't exactly leave the best impression of men on me. So now I'm starting something new and it's terrifying. It just makes me realize how much...

All I can say is .. no need to rush back into another relationship.
venice:
Hehe, I love you too, but you probably figured that out already.
i know i don't talk about much else but he's coming home today...he's coming home he's coming home.
Just two more days to go. He called late last night and we talked for a while. I just can't wait for him to come home.
sin_:
Its good you are enjoying being together and obviously him calling means he is bothered. Relax and enjoy yourself. It sounds like you have found someone who does really care and value you
venice:
I didn't even think of that! You DO have an oven! I'll consider it, definitely!
things are so wonderful. except for the fact that he's across the country until Sunday...
sin_:
Well you're going great. One week will pass really quickly. See after all that guessing it turned out great. Keep smiling and I bet your stomach will be churning when Sunday comes.
