As some of you may have seen recently on Facebook, B and I decided we were going to try things again. And while I am happier than ever <insert goofy, childish grin>, I can't seem to shake the dark cloud seeming to linger over my head. Every time we (more specifically I) tell somebody this news, I get one of two emotions: the person is either very excited that we're together again with a typical, "Oh my gosh! I knew you two would get back together, you're perfect!" or I get the "Don't you remember how you felt when you two were broken up, and you need to be careful speech."
Okay, friends, yes I remember those times...and while they were by no means fun, I am an adult and I can make decisions for myself, as can he. So if we want to be together, or in our case together at a distance, we're going to do it. If you're really our friends, even if you have suspicions or opinions, please just keep them to yourselves. I know you're trying to look out for me and my best interests or him and his best interests or even us and our best interests, but if this is what is making me/him/us happy, I don't want to be criticized, I want your support. And honestly, it's really none of your business.
Rant over, I was going to say more, but I've got more exciting things to say then negative, so on to the fun!
With all that being said, I'm very excited to see what the next month has in store for us. B just graduated from TBS (The Basic School) in Quantico, VA where he found out he will be an Artillery officer. He's home for a few weeks and then headed out to Fort Sill, OK the first week in March for five months of training and he already found out he will be stationed in San Diego, CA at Camp Pendleton as a part of the 5th battalion, 11th Marines working with HIMARS (see video below). Needless to say, he's pretty freaking excited (although he'll never admit it to anyone except maybe me) to have gotten rockets, and even though it's not Infantry, he says it's the best of a bad situation.
As for me, this week started my first week as a full-time employee. Monday was my first day working with Naked Lime Marketing at Reynolds and Reynolds in Dayton. As my first week is nearing an end, I'm still not 100% sure on what exactly I'll be doing here because my training classes don't start until next week. I finished all of the online tests they needed me to do and read the materials I needed to read and finished this morning, so I really haven't had a lot to do. I'm actually really excited about this job. My official title is a Digital Marketing Specialist and I have my own little cubicle with a two screen computer, white board and locker and I have a lot of space to decorate (so if anybody wants to color and send me pictures, I'd love to hang them up!). For now, I know my job entails working directly with specific dealerships from around the country to make them and their websites/social media sites more appealing and available to the surfers of the Internet through writing press releases, blog postings, and updating their social media sites (everything from Twitter, Facebook, to Pinterest, Linkedin, Google+ and we're working on trying to get on Instagram; sounds about perfect for a tech-savvy, Internet sensation like myself! ;)) I did have to re-familiarize myself with HP software, which was a bummer...I love my Mac! The best part you ask? We get free access to the gym that is on "campus" (it's a huge building here with sports fields behind the building and everything so it's called a campus)! I'm super pumped about this. I've been wanting to work out more lately, but I haven't wanted to join a gym because they're SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE! So this works out perfectly!

I guess that's it for now; it's lunch time! I'll try to stay more up to date...I know it's been awhile. Stay tuned! Btw, I want to come up with a better internet name for the BF so if anyone has any suggestions...let me know in the comments section below! :)
PS, sorry for the rant at the top; I've just been happy and mean people try to bring me down
