So, it's been a minute since I've blogged. I'm blogging to myself anyways soooo I guess it doesn't matter? Lmfao so updates on my life:
I am not moving to Germany, unfortunately without a wealthy family it is next to impossible. I am, however, moving to Colorado in May with my boyfriend and our three animals! We are going to be moving to Fort Collins, CO! We recently went on vacation where we drove from Iowa to Arizona and we got a chance to check out Fort Collins. It's so beautiful with the Rockies spread out behind the city!
A little bit about my vacation, Cameron and I drove to Trinidad, CO and spent the night at a suuuper creepy (possibly made creepier by the hours of Creepypastas we listened to) AirBnb. We woke up really early and drove to Surprize, AZ where my mom's side of the family lives. The next morning we woke up and drove to Huntington Beach, CA. We went to Disneyland and spent a day at the beach in California.
Disneyland was probably the biggest flop of my life. I have pretty bad anxiety and it gets worse when I'm around a ton of people. As you can imagine, there was a fuck ton of people at Disneyland. We went on only one ride but did manage to see the whole park. I was so incredibly grateful for Cameron that day. He was so understanding and anticipated what I needed before I even realized it. I felt awful and that I ruined his trip to Disneyland but he's assured me a million times that I didn't. After we got through that whole shit-show he even officially asked me out!!
When we got back from Cali, Cameron and I went hiking up a mountain in Phoenix, AZ. I got heat stroke that day because we decided to hike in 95 degree weather! But, again, Cameron saved the day and realized what was happening before I did. The day after that we drove to Sedona, AZ and then Cameron and I went to the Grand Canyon! He had never seen the Grand Canyon before so it was amazing to witness that. It is truly a breathtaking place! After that, we hiked in Sedona and checked out Jerome, AZ. Jerome is a super interesting old mining town that you should absolutely look into when you can.
That was our trip in a nutshell, with way too much money spent but amazing memories made. I am now dating and living with that friend with benefits that I've talked about so much. He is such an amazing man. He is so incredibly patient and understanding when it comes to my anxiety. I'm never "too much" or "too crazy." We are also almost the same person. Sometimes he says or does something that is so similar to something I would do or say and it freaks me out! I think he's definitely going to be my person for a while.
I kind of stopped the EMDR therapy that I was doing, just kind of got really busy. But I'm doing okay, the trauma from what happened hasn't bothered me and I have avoided any possible chance at seeing that awful man again.
Right now in my life, I'm just working as much as I possibly can to try to save money for the big move. I'm so beyond excited for the Colorado chapter of our lives!
