Lazy Days

It's Sunday today. It started raining early this morning, about 2 or 3 AM. My allergies have been in high gear the last 4 days. Worst I have seen them in a very long time. I hope it doesn't rain a lot this summer, ugh. So today marks one year that my handsome better half sent me a friend request on Facebook and we started chatting again for the first time in 24 years. Never in a million years did I think I would be living up in Ishpeming, Michigan, the Upper Peninsula.....in a world where time runs a little slower, in a place where a person can just be at peace if they want to be....and with a man that I have loved, well, apparently since 1991. For 24 years. Someone deep inside, there laid an ember...just one little tiny ember still warm and glowing...and a year ago, he was the wind that picked it up stoked it.....brought it back to life. And living here just feeds those sparks and embers. I find new reasons every day to love him even more and to love it up here even more. I do have my days. When I miss the back of a motorcycle, I miss getting all decked out in my Harley attire and feeling all sassy, I do miss those days. Those days are more prominent now, as friends of my post their pictures of fun in the sun. And I will have those days and they will pass. And I wouldn't give up my life right now for any of it. People ask me why I move up here and I tell them and they think I am crazy. They say no one MOVES HERE intentionally. They all move away to get better jobs. I moved to Green Bay, WI to get a better job, about 4 to 5 years ago. I got 2 betters jobs and a great education and met some of my favorite people in the world. But I didn't move here to get a better job. I moved here to be with someone I can't imagine being without. I followed my heart. Three hours north. I wouldn't leave. I have no regrets. I miss my friends and that life I used to live. Change is hard. I have gone from Harley tank tops and bandanas, skull jewelry and riding in the wind, most of the times included drinking a lot - to a much slower paced life - of reading books I needed to catch up on, writing this new blog and more on my other blogs, meeting new people, starting a new job (it is never easy being the new person), and hopefully get myself a girl truck to go trail riding in or just pissing around. Trail riding and mudding are a big thing up here. I have done this before and I enjoyed it then. I enjoy it more now because of the company I keep. I am just babbling. In one of those moods. Ever have a day when the rain and the dreary day just made you lazy and blah? :-) It's allowed, right...:-) Yoopers can have lazy days too. It's a damn good thing I'm not one of them then huh? LOL Family Video in Negaunee, Pizza Hut in Ish - they have been getting our business this weekend. Oh well. New job tomorrow. I am excited that I get to work in Marquette, RIGHT next to the lake :-) Which will make my summers beautiful and my winters fucking frigid....ahhhh...here's to Ish. xoxox Here's to lazy Sunday's S
