Early Twenties

That first job ended in and I said good-bye to the friends I'd made. Vonzella, Tyita, LaDonna to name a few... The job was a wonderful respite and a safe haven for me. It was a place where I was appreciated and respected for my work ethic. But thanks to NAFTA, we were all laid off.
All this time, I was dreaming, writing and thinking, learning and growing on the inside, maturing slowly. I also started to attempt astral projection (which I'm still working on). It lead me, however, to the power of lucid dreaming or awakened dreaming. The light of my life...
Another niece was born to my sister and her second husband in 1999. He didn't last long and I hardly recall him since he didn't take to us. She went straight to another guy (we don't like him so not much else will be said).
I got a new job after a couple of months on unemployment (big fan) and appreciated it for alittle while. But a couple of years into it, that job started to chafe. At about the same time I started the new job, I started something else new... and I'm still debating on if it's a good thing or a bad thing... The Internet.

Mid Twenties

I spent way to much time on the internet, mainly in chat rooms, talking and getting to know people. I quickly put myself on a diet away from it so I wouldn't spend my life there. Unfortunatly, other things started taking a back seat. My writing for one... I can also couple that with working. A full time job tends to take it out of you.
I discovered a forum called Jedi Girl in 2002. It became a staple in my life very quickly and I'm still there today. I met some amazing people there and developed close bonds with a few of them. Jade, Arwen, Mona Leia and Sci-fi, just to mention a few. There, I started writing fanfiction and learning my way around HTML.
That job I went to after getting laid off? It sucked more and more... until I finally got up the gumption in late 2004 and quit. I got a job at a higher paying factory, working the graveyard shift. That was fun. I loved it. Unfortunalty, I got laid off four months later... which lead me to WIA which pays for college. Thanks to them, I'm anle to go to college. I'm in school for massage therapy and will soon be starting on the last leg of the journey.
Now, even before Jedi Girl, there was Aaron. I met him in a psychic chat room in early November of 2001... I was there out of curiosity, he was there out of... well... he's a bit of a skeptic but anyway, we started talking and we would IM one another when ever we saw each other. I figured it was just a normal friend relationship and felt only calm feelings for him but... long story short, (short, short version) we fell in love and got married in April of 2005! He makes me love to love and how cool is it to hang out with your best friend and husband at the same time?! And we just had our one year anniversary!

Late Twenties

Going to college for massage therapy was a blast (with one exception) and I graduated with high grades with a diploma. I got my licensure a few months after that and am now an official Nationally Certified Massage and Body work Therapist. Sound good, huh? It's wonderful work. But it doesn't pay the bills right away, so I also work at a factory 40 to 60 hours a week for great pay but... gosh, do I miss my free time.
Being married has it's ups and downs but Aaron is a wonderful man and I couldn't imagine being with out him. He's still my best friend and the guy to make me laugh even when I don't feel like it. We are waiting to have children so we can enjoy each other and be ready for them when they come.
Spiritually, I still feel like I'm in the same spot as before because I've been so torn by duty. Family, work, life... I'm hoping for more time... or a better way to use what I have! Life is good!
