Its been offly quite and it may be like that for a while until I see the urgency to update frequently. I don’t see a valid reason for ending this blog and starting a brand new one because I don’t want to lose the friendships and the history behind this blog. It was not been the same lately around the blogosphere but I am happy to say that the friend I referenced a few blog posts back clarified his statement and declared he did not want to end the friendship. I have not spoken to him since, but I want him to know that I still think about him.

What have I been up to since last time I posted something?…

• I have been hanging around with my boyfriend as much as I can. One detail I did not share is that he is transfering to University of South Florida in the Tampa Bay area (which is about 90 minutes west of Orlando). Its sad to know that he will be leaving but I knew that before we became lovers. Even now, I can’t see him very often so I know I’ll get used to it once he leaves. He invited me to visit him in his Tampa apartment when he moves so I am very anxious to see his new digs.
• Personally, Its been a rollercoaster. With every healthy relationship, there will be disagreements, arguments, and the make-up love session after that. Mine is no exception.
• Also, I have been REALLY behind with not only school (which I am handling well), but also with my bills. I am going to pay the leftover debt from my credit cards and cell phone today. I have been distracted lately, .
• I have really been missing the good times I had chatting with everyone in the blogosphere, but I know that times change and the friendship I have online are almost temporary because thats how it is sometimes. There are many bloggers I follow that are going through a lot and have limited posting or ended it altogether. It took a while, but I have finally embraced to be patient with others on updating. As well as accept that I have to decrease my updates to a few posts a month.

I love all of those who have been reading and following me through my journey. There is more to come, I know that. I appreciate all of those (or a few, like DJ) that have been nice enough to stop by often. I can not forget about Michael, who left me a sweet, unexpected message.

I am thankful for all of your friendships and those that have come and gone.

Happy Thanksgiving. May you enjoy the time you have with your loved ones and appreciate them everyday they are with you. I say this because there are families with soldiers serving in Iraq and all around the globe that wish their family were together, but they selflessly understand that their loved ones are serving for our right to celebrate freedom everyday. Thanks to all of the soldiers serving and those veterans who have served this country.

Until next time…. This has been your Orange Update!
