She leaves for Thailand in 9 hours

Melanie left today. Not for Thailand yet - but she left the apt. We said our goodbyes - at the last minute - in the middle of our messy apt - with her parents waiting for her outside. Yes, we both cried - but this is a GOOD thing, no? Knowing this day was coming for many months did not make it any easier. I moped around the rest of the evening - and couldn't even enjoy spending the evening with K. He came up to get some help shopping for baby gifts for friends - and bday gift for niece. Then we got hotdogs and icecream at DQ - and watched tv. I don't know, I'm sad inside. I already feel like it's too quiet here - even tho I've been here alone before - knowing that she's not "coming home" anytime soon makes it seem so EMPTY.

Oh well - I will be fine - Mel will be fine. We'll both be back at work soon - keeping busy.

Mel - I love you! Be safe, be good, and have fun! And don't forget to BLOG! :)

A lot can happen in 3 1/2 months

OK - it's been a long time since either of us have posted - so here's the catch up:

Since April 10th:

* Melanie and I have been living together in NE Mpls - GOOD TIMES

* I started dating a guy who lives in Shakopee - "K". It's been fun - not sure where it's going - but more good times. :)

* Melanie has just recently hooked up with a guy who she was interested in before - "EMM" - and they've had a few good times. :)

* The school year ended. YAY.

* We started - and have almost finished - teaching summer school. Working - ughhh. . Paychecks - Good times.

Wow - I guess you haven't missed much - but it seems like we've been very busy!

Melanie leaves for Thailand in 6 days. - She's busy this week seeing the people she wants to see - Once she's there - and set up with a computer - we will both be posting blogs - so hopefully we won't skip so much time anymore.

Now to bed - and to watch Big Brother VI that I tivoed - it's a sickness - I know.
