life changes

It seems that my life is changing all at once right now. I have a lot of personal changes that are still going on through my counseling and learning to create new ways of acting and thinking. Also, I graduated on Friday night. Finally!! Although I don't really feel an extreme feeling of completion because I'm going back to get my master's in spec ed in the fall. but it was certainly a sense of accomplishment. I never really paid much attention to my GPA. I knew it was a least a 3.75 but I graduated Summa Cum Laude which means it was 3.8 or higher. I'm proud of myself that I accomplished that.
Another huge change in my life is Steven. Three months ago I was perfectly happy with the thought that I was one of those people that God had created to not get married. Then I realize that I really like Steven. We start talking, dating, and now we're getting married in August. Hopefully it will be the first weekend in August. There is no ring or official popping of the question but we are engaged. In fact, we already view our relationship as a marriage because there is no question in either of our minds about the level of committement that already exists between us. I've already been staying with him about a week and a half, but I officially move in when we get back from our visit to Abilene for Christmas. We feel that we are married and that the wedding in August is the ceremony. We would have the ceremony tomorrow if we could afford it. But we are buying temporary wedding rings to wear until the wedding. I am so excited about this change in my life. I am so comfortable here. It's been like a whirlwind, but it also feels like I've been here my entire life. We're only in the preliminary stages of planning the wedding and I am already feeling overwhelmed. We're taking it a little at a time because we do have several months to plan and Steven is helping by taking a very active role.

Well, that's it for updates for now.
