In Harrisburg...Hmmm...But Lets Catch Up!

Ok new rule: I will check into my blog at least twice a week now...to write and report (and honestly to unload). Wow. A lot has happened since December 1st.

In short December was pretty great. Spent time with my friends and my family. And that ex-boyfriend and I? We got back together. In fact, I spent Christmas with him and his wonderful family. (And just recently, we broke up...again, ahhhhh).

I am currently in Harrisburg, PA living with Athena, Angel (6 yrs. old), Jeffrey (Athena's hubby), and The Marla (cutest 9 month tyrant baby in the world). A lot has occurred in the two months since I arrived. A lot has also not occurred but I will get into that tomorrow.... For now I want to share some pictures from December because for the most part, it was a pretty awesome month:

Kyle's (stud on the right/my partner) shebang and we wore our best! The night started out with a gathering of well dressed people at his condo and lucky for us, our old roomie Chris made an appearance (!).


A week later, Angelica had her soiree (a combination of the best foods, beer pong, a dj and a garage to do it in) and our tripod (Angelica calls us "The Tripod") was happy to be together.


I love this picture of Lou (Angelica's husband) and Kyle
(we traded shoes because they were owning me and he OWNED them).


 Christmas was spent at Yucca Valley, California (which is really close to Joshua Tree) at Guy Ky's beautiful family home.


This is the best picture I have of Guy Ky and I on this trip...yep, being goofballs.

Well since I already mentioned it and this former relationship of mine has been consuming my thoughts, I want to get into it a tad. Even though we decided to get back together...I decided that I still wanted to come and try to make it in New York City.

It was hard because when we initially met (in 2010) I had planned to come directly to NYC for only 6 months (there was even talk of him moving over to the East Coast after my 6 months in NYC). Then I changed my plans to try living and working in Yellowstone with him. I thought maybe this could take away my urge to travel to the East Coast (I know, two completely DIFFERENT places) and I would be able to still be with him (didn't want to put 6 months of time between us). And yada yada... I went to Gardiner, Montana by myself, came back after just a month, we moved in together, broke up, and when the East Coast came up again there was something in me that said "DO IT!", then we got back together. Differences this time: I was moving to Harrisburg first, STAYING in Harrisburg to save money, AND THEN moving to NYC. So my 6 month time limit was/is gone. I wasn't staying in SB and he wasn't leaving SB. So these last two months, we tried making this relationship work over a huge distance. It did not. This wasn't, for me, the sole reason, not even the main reason for this breakup but it was definitely affected by this distance.

I know I am describing this particular situation a whollleee lot but it's because we recently broke up...and I am very sad about it. And I am going through the whole relationship in my head over and over again. At the end of the day, this is for the best and I know it. I'll be fine and so will he. And the best is wished to him because he is a good guy.

Love is beautiful and great and delightful and wondrous and it is too grand to be confined to an epoch in one's life...but damn. Just damn.

Back to December! I love my dad and I have a hard time communicating with him but he is one of the most important people in my life. My brother, Josue, and I decided to spend New Year's with him in Mexico.


Josue and I rented a convertible (I am a fan for life now). On my drive to pick him up, I had the top down on the 101 South and saw the sun rise:


I must say, sunsets have always had me, but up until December 31st I wasn't that big on sunrises. 
Now I am.


The mens in the fam on New Year's Day. Hardcore. 

So that was December in a nutshell and tomorrow I will explain how things have been going since then...
