Dear Journal....(insert Doug theme song here) This week has been nuts. Started off with a Tribe game with Ron Kent...They were free tickets and Jim Thome just came back so we had a great time at the game even though we lost. On Wednesday I go to another game with Nate and we find tickets that are 5.50 in the third row of right field...yes please. We go and have a ball. We get on the jumbo tron and I got on TV while doing the peanut butter jelly dance. We tried to hold out for the end of the game but it wasn't meant to be. Then on Thursday I began an internship I guess you could say at a radio station here in Canton. That's nice because I get some training in a radio station and it fits my schedule pretty nicely. Hopefully I can get more hands on experience here in the future. I've been here in Canton...not on campus for a change. I've been staying with Cantleberry and it's been great catching up with him and doing stuff with him and fitting work in there every once in a while. We've been working on our golf game. The first game we played we shot 60 and 59and that was before the game on Wednesday...not really good at ll. Thursday we go to the driving range and try to figure out what is going on with our swings and we end up going again on Friday and we shoot 51 and 50. It's not the best but it's better than what we did before. I haven't made any new progress in the work field unfortunately...hoping the thing with my aunt will work out. I'd love to begin working in a hospital. If I could get any job in a communications field I'd be happy cause that means no more old navy. Things may not be advancing in the work field but relationally with my lady...I think things are moving pretty well. It's been hard not being with her...it just seems like we've been almost inseparable as of late and to all of a sudden not be able to see her and for such a long period of time..sucks. It's only been two weeks and that shouldn't feel like too long? maybe? but i can't stand being away from her for long. And once I left her last she finds out that she is really sick and I can't be there to help her feel better and it's been a roller coaster. I know that she has to have priorities and I'm the first to remind her if there is a choice that should be made but making the right decision isn't always the one that is the most fun or feels the best. If she has to choose between staying up to see me and driving home so she can get better...I want her to stay with me...but I know that she should get home so she can get better. Ugh, I hate tough choices...I hate having to leave her..I hate not having a job that is full time so I can get a ring to put on her finger...But we talked last week... I feel discouraged because I don't have a legit job and I want to be able to support living in my own place and being able to do stuff. Everyone asks me when I'm gonna put a ring on her finger and I keep saying when I get that job. They respond with what does money have to do with it? You love her, marry her already. For some reason I can't get past that. I've always pictured this marrying thing being easy? I'm not sure what the word I'm looking for is...Can we work it out as a couple this whole money thing? Yes. So I should have no reservations about putting a ring on it then right? Just need to talk to her about this more...and I look forward to it.
