Good news finally

The last couple weeks have been awesome. I took a vacation and went to Seattle for a week just to see friends. I stayed with my best friend Amie and her husband and basically got to see almost all of my good friends while I was there. It was a much needed get away. On the very last day of my vacation, hours before I was leaving to come home, I decided to contact the ex. It went surprisingly well. He brought his son (who was a son to me) and came to see me for just long enough to basically say hi and play with Jaggar for a bit. It gave me the closure I needed and I was able to finally move on with my life. I have been doing well ever since, no more crying. :) School has been going great, although I am ready for it to be over. I have A's in both classes so far. I'm finally getting out there and meeting new friends and getting in touch with old ones. I've been going out and having fun every week and putting myself out there again. In fact, I even went on my first real date in forever and it was awesome. I was taken to dinner and then a stroll along the river and then just sat and talked for a lot longer than we realized. I think I have perma-smile. :) And to top it all off, I got my refund this morning that has been lost in transit for about a month. Well, now it's off to work.
