Family

With the holidays coming soon around the corner I have been thinking about family a lot. Again this year I am not going to spending the holidays with my family and honesty I am ok with that. I really don't get along with a lot of my dads side of the family. I do wish I could see my grandparents but there just isnt enough time with having to work and the time it would take to drive there. so anyway I'm going to stay in Colorado and spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with Sean's family. This will make three Thanksgiving's and two Christmas's with them. I am really starting to feel like one of the family when I am with them. They have been so warm and welcoming to me that I really do feel like they are part of my family too. Last years Christmas was the one that I did not spend with my parents so his parents invited me to spend it with them and it was so much fun, they had a stocking for me and everything. I'm so lucky to have such a nice bunch of people as "in-laws" (I guess that's what I should call them...I don't know what else) but they are really wonderful and fabulous people I just wish that some of my family would care that much for Sean as Sean's care for me.

I think that's about it. Its time for me to go to bed.
Hope you all have a wonderful night

It Gets Better

After watching those "It gets better" videos I thought I would just share my story with anyone who actually reads this.

I came out to my best friend the summer after my senior year of high school. I told him because we were going to be roommates when we moved to college and I thought that he should know. After that he also told me that he was gay. We decided to date and during that time I came out to my parents, I told my mom first when my parents and grandparents came to visit me. We had went shopping and when we got back to the hotel room they were staying at I told her that I liked guys, I thought she would have already known but I guess she had no idea and started crying and was not very happy about it. I then went back to my dorm and we meet up later for supper and I guess in between she had told my dad who at the time seemed to take it better than my mom did.

After coming out a lot of things happened, my parents were not happy about my "choice." My dad especially has had a hard time dealing with it. He has turned to religion to try to deal with this, but I really do not think it has helped either of us, in fact it has caused a lot of strain on our relationship, even to the point of not being allowed to "be gay" in his presence. Even though with the difficulties with my parents there are good things that have come out of it.

I decided to move out of my hometown and move to Colorado to continue school and start a new chapter in my life. I moved here by myself and not knowing anyone, it was one of the most liberating experiences in my life. I have meet so many great people during that part of my life, I do not consider some of them my friends anymore but I do believe that they were in my life for a reason and helped me in different ways. I was also able to meet Sean over two and a half years ago and I could not be happier with another man.

There has been a lot of things that has happened in my life, some moments that I am not the proudest of, some moments that I will remember forever, but I would never trade any of those moments because of the good and the bad they have made me the man that I am today. I just want to say to anyone out there who is having a hard time with anything in your life, just be tough and make it through; because I know that it does get better so much better.

Aloha


So it is not a little bit less of two months that I'm going to be going to Hawaii with my parents and Sean. I am so excited! We have some things planned that we want to do. We have a four hour snorkeling trip planned followed by a luau that night. I also thing that Sean and I are going to be doing a walking food tour it is called "Hole-In-The-Wall Tour." I'm really excited about that, it will be really fun to go to all those places that you probably wouldn't make it too and have some really fun food. After three days in Honolulu we fly to the big island for four more days. We haven't really planned anything for there yet, I would like to rent some mopeds and drive around but other than that we are just going to do whatever we want. So that is the plan so far but I cant wait. I just hope that it all goes well with my parents...but I think that it will. Just hope that they calm down a little and it will all be perfect. Well I think that is about it for now.

Work and What Not

Lets see...what do I want to write about today...

Well today was my managers last day at work. She is moving to California because her husband got a job there. This means things should be interesting around work...she held a lot of things together so after the holidays I'm going to start looking for something more stable and better paying. I have been thinking about becoming a flight attendant or maybe working on a cruise ship. I'm not really sure what I want to be doing but I just need something else, something more exciting than just answering the phone and a glorified trash man. Either something like that or I'd like something that lets me have the weekends off so I could do some volunteer things. I think I am going to wait until after the holiday season and until we find out what is going to happen with Sean's promotion so we can decide where we want to move on to.

Well that about all I have to write about now.

Generic First Post

So just thought I would start another one of these, thought it might be fun to keep track of things going on here. So I guess in this post Ill just talk about myself a little bit...as much as I hate doing that I might as well, cause I guess that is the point about this isn't it?

-I'm 25 year old college graduate with a degree in theater studies.
-I live with my partner for almost 3 years he is honestly the love of my life, I never thought I would be willing/able to settle down and be with one guy forever, but I do love him very much.
-I have been out to my parents and friends since I was 18, so much has changed for me in those past few years and I wouldn't change it for anything.
-I work at a flower shop but am very interested in moving on to something bigger and better, I have been thinking about either looking into flight attendant or working on a cruise ship. I'm just need something new and exciting in my life. I just know that I am made for more than what I am doing now.

Well those are the points that I can think about now. I think I'm going to like posting so hopefully anyone that reads this can learn more about be. Leave me a comment if anyone actually reads this.
