A whole lot has happened the last three weeks, or so... A whole lot... I went back to Utah for a week and a half. I hiked, drank, saw movies, drove around, and generally had good ol' times with my friends in Utah.

Before leaving though, I met that other Katie -- Katie Hale -- who I may or may not have mentioned. She is the one who ended up taking me to the airport for my flight to Vegas. We decided it would be fun to hang out downtown for a little while before heading to the airport. We went to an pretty little bookstore/coffee shop. Just inside the entrance of the bookstore there is a big spiral staircase that takes you down to the basement where the coffee shop is located. After being in there for a time we were more or less out of time for our parking, so we headed back and proceeded to take me to the airport. Nothing really eventful happened beyond that that day. Though throughout my visit in Utah we texted back and forth the entire time, and talked on the phone for 2-3 hours nearly every night. And... to make a long-ish story short, we fell for each other before I even came home, hah. Katie and I are great together. =) I've never been happier, or more comfortable in a relationship. Her parents seem to like me, her brother does -- I like them all. Spending time with her and her family is something I really look forward to.

I am still having money issues, though. I'm no longer at Nintendo (again,) and just bumming around waiting for applications to go through. I still haven't gotten off my ass about my GED... Not having it is a ridiculous crutch, but for whatever reason I'm just not motivated enough to make one phone call and show up in a room on two separate days. I have a feeling that will be done very soon though. Everything is starting to look better for me. I'm finally fitting in here, slowly.
