14-monthiversary and not a girlfriend around

Howdy to everyone out there in cyberland. I'm fresh out of a few internet games of Unreal Tournament with my friend Gavin and boy are my arms tired. Yes the intensity of the gore-fest can really get to a guys neck and wrists. Now that I think of it, typing kinda' hurts too. At any rate...

Today was a lovely day here. I set out around noon today with two friends from down the hall Allison and Tatyana (sp?) to Point Defiance. We parked ailing Dijon at Owen Park and enjoyed sun light at our backs and a beautiful view of Puget Sound at our fronts. After a brief rock skipping competition (I won) we slowly made our way west on the beach. I say slowly because I spent half of the time walking bending down and picking up little agates and other smooth, shiny, and preferrably translucent rocks. We got to an area along the beach that was closely bordered by tall cliffs of sand, gravel, and clay. They tall walls were slick with water running from underground out over the surface of the clays. A little further down the beach and I showed them an area where the clay layers were dislocated by faults. It was a beautiful place to be on a sunny February afternoon. We walked back to my car, drove to a house that Allison sits at, ate lunch, then drove back to PLU. I got pretty rocks.

After dinner with Gavin and his girlfriend Holly I took to playing games with Gavin. What's on my mind now? Sarah. About 1am this morning marked our 14-monthiversary and I couldn't be more dissappointed that she's not here. No it's certainly not a huge milestone in a relationship. There are no greeting cards commerating the one year, two months mark in a relationship nor are gifts handed to the lovers in question. But to me it serves as a fabulous reminder. It tells me that there's something good going on here. As Matt Cole put it to me yesterday, we're a roll model relationship for some people. Now it's hard to see these sort of things but I suppose it's true. Our relationship has been a relatively smooth one meeting only with the smallest of speed bumps. For that I'm greatful. Take this time we're spending apart for example. We did nearly the same thing for two months last summer while I was in Georgia only this time we're prevented from using a free form of live communication like ICQ. In the end I'm easily going to concede that these sessions that we spend thousands of miles apart can only do good. Our relationship will either grow stronger or cease. If it ceases it was not to be and if it grows stronger then maybe we've got something here. Now, I don't mean to sound passive about the whole thing because I'm going to do everything in my power to hold on to Sarah but I would never want anything but for her to be happy. The minute that my influence in her life creates unhappiness then I'm out. Pure and simple. But for now happiness reigns and I love her. As for the future? Stay tuned...
