I'm not sure when I dropped off from being active on here, but it wasn't really my intention. It's just that life suddenly happened and took off.

It all began when I sparked up a fantastic new relationship with a co-worker. We found out that he got along really well and had a lot in common and we became fast friends. Some time into this we realized that we considered each other best friends. We continued being friends for around eight months or so up until we realized that we had feelings for each other.

We struggled a bit to figure out what to do next since the "getting to know you" phase was mostly well out of the way. Yadda yadda yadda we began dating after I spoke to her father (old school, I know) and we have been dating for a year this month. On top of that, even though we're not officially engaged, we would very much like to get married next year. She does have a promise ring I gave her on Easter Sunday that she hasn't taken off since.

There lies another piece of big news, I left my job of seven years to pursue a career (hopefully). It won't be cheap being married and eventually having children, so I decided to try something I toyed around with once before: Entering an electrician apprenticeship. I left work in late July to quite a bit of fanfare surprisingly. I have not entered anything yet and I still need to brush up on Algebra first, but with the free time I have I'm trying my best to fixed up my mom's house a bit so she won't have to worry about that. I don't want to juggle that with training and married life.

I'm nearly finished fixing up the laundry room and I'm tired from that today.

Anyway, things have been absolutely fantastic for me. 2018 I considered the best year of my life and this one has gone well, too. I'm super excited to move on into this new life with her.
