I wish I had a fast forward button

The past week or so have been amazing, came down to visit the boyfriend in Michigan. I love the city, love being here and love the feeling when he walks thru the door when he's home from work. Sounds corny but it just feels...nice.
Well the job search down here has been horrible. The immense competition for teaching is overwhelming. With 2 major education colleges in the area, it seems like a million people are competing for a hundred jobs in the area. I know realistically its a job isn't gonna just pop up out of nowhere, especially for a Canadian. So we've had to change our game plans a little. It's funny how when you're falling in love you don't think about the complications it could create. Don't get me wrong I have no regrets in life, and I am proud of that. It's just really eye-opening to look back and think everything will just fall into place the way you want it to, or the way you expect it to. Just really exposed the rawness of life and the fact that although I think you are not a helpless victim of life's processes, but your actions and reactions to the things that life throw at you, can really define who you are as a person. And I am learning, every frieken day, every step of the way. It does help tremendously to have the best man with me, supportive and dedicated to our relationship as I am. I am truly so grateful.

Well this weekend, one of my roommates from college, Ashley and her boyfriend Fred came to stay and visit and we had a good time. Ashley and I did some shopping while the guys worked out, and we went out Saturday night to a piano bar and I had so much fun. It was definitely a different crowd, but extremely enjoyable. So a fun weekend, we actually went out, and enjoyed some company.

I'm sadly headed home today, not that home is such a bad place, but I wish so much I could just work in the US this summer I would be here no question. But anyways, I believe I will be having a source of income for the summer when I get home. My neighbor has his own business and he needs some help doing tree marking in the bushes just north of our house. I don't know how these weird jobs keep finding me, but I need money and that is all I know

Well I'm off to Detroit to see one of my friends comedy shows tonight. So I'm excited to see her and spend some time with her till she is off to LA to live and work.
