Life does go on. and just had a final exam

Postby Kobau » Sat Oct 22, 2005 10:48 am

Ok, well other than maybe a few of you that i talk to outside of here,#ed_op#br#ed_cl#it wasn't known that my bf of the last 1.5 yrs and i had ended the#ed_op#br#ed_cl#relationship at the beginning of sept. I was a mess for awhile, and#ed_op#br#ed_cl#along with school that was part of why i#ed_op#br#ed_cl#wasn't#ed_op#br#ed_cl#on here much dealing with it all. Thanks to those, like Bri that were#ed_op#br#ed_cl#there for me to cry to etc and to be there as i got over it all. It did#ed_op#br#ed_cl#take a while for me to heal etc, but i can say that i am healed and#ed_op#br#ed_cl#very ready to move on. You will be happy to know that Paul and i are#ed_op#br#ed_cl#still friends, we are both good with that. And i've come to the#ed_op#br#ed_cl#realisation that while i will always love the guy, it is as a friend#ed_op#br#ed_cl#and in retrospect this break is something that should have happened#ed_op#br#ed_cl#long ago.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#and as a really really good note.... i got asked out#ed_op#br#ed_cl#by a really cute canadian guy, and acceptted.. the date will haveto#ed_op#br#ed_cl#wait till after my final on the 26th and showing a horse to a buyer on#ed_op#br#ed_cl#the 29th... but still #ed_op#img src="richedit/smileys//happy.gif"#ed_cl#! so yup life has gone on and it is looking pretty dang good! school and everything else seems to be flowing...

When something goes wrong in a show, it's actually the best time because you learn from it. You ask yourself 'what can I do better?' When everything goes OK, you don't ask yourself that question --- ANKY

Kobau, sorry to hear about the break up but I am glad that you were
able to work your way through it and that you are still friends. 
You may have better luck with dating a Canadian because wasn't the
young man that you had a car accident with also an American?  The
right guy is bound to come along sooner or later just put on that nice
little black dress (or a similar one) that you once wore in your avatar
picture. #ed_op#img src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley2.gif"#ed_cl#  Just go out and enjoy yourself love will come along in due course.

R'man... you remember that dress#ed_op#img src="richedit/smileys//shocked.gif"#ed_cl#!! wow.... and actually i have an even better dress now.. black and white, strapless and fits just oh so nice!#ed_op#img src="richedit/smileys//smiley14.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#
Yup, i'm kinda glad to be going on a date with one of our good CND
boys. I dated americans because of where i am, but i've found that at
least here, they don't mix right with my personality.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
The guy that asked me out, called last night just to say hi and see how
i was doing. Said he figured i could use a study break, and just wanted
to talk more with me...(insert the awweee sound #ed_op#img src="richedit/smileys//smiley2.gif"#ed_cl#)
Yes he is havign to wait. and he seems to understand that well. Said he
realises i have to finish my test and show a horse first, but he is
looking forward to a chance to take me out for dinner...#ed_op#img src="richedit/smileys//smiley9.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#
#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
The best thing is that i'm happy, relaxed and ready to carry on with life, dating, school and all that !#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Good to hear that you are doing well- it's good that you have learned and accepted that you guys just weren't meant to be.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#ooo, that canadian boy sounds nice! He ALREADY accepts your horses? I'd say he's got a pretty good shot at staying around because of that fact alone#ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley2.gif"#ed_cl#. He sounds very sweet. Are you going to wear that new dress out to dinner? #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

lol GU, yup already accepts that horses are key, says if when
competition season roles around the only wy to see me is at a show,
he'll just have to become a damn good groom( can ya picture my jaw
dropping at that comment!!) So yup he is a guy that just may have a
chance of sticking around!#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
Yup that dress is getting worn, He wants to take me out for a really
nice dinner after my final, something about treating me like a queen;)
he is earning points pretty steadily! #ed_op#br#ed_cl#
#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
Paul and i are on good terms so it makes it all nicce to. But i am
happier since i&nbsp; faced the knowledge that paul and i were meant to
be friends.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
