Back for more

I'm sorry I've been absent the past few months. I've really not had the urge to vent about my personal happenings. This year has been a bit crazy and the few thoughts and feelings I've had worth sharing have only been shared with those that are closest to me.
Spring is here and that means racing season is starting back up. I've been working behind the scenes trying to get the new car ready and start planning the trips. This is going to be a VERY busy year and an exciting one at that.
Next.. work has been a very strange place. We're not very busy compared to how we've been the past few years. We've been doing alot of re-organizing and taking this downtime as a GOOD thing at a great time for us to make the good things that work better, and weed out the bad things we've been dealing with but not had time to fix.
I've been able to work a deal out with my bosses to allow me to still work 40 hour weeks, but do it over 4 days instead of 5. That gets me more time to travel to the events and on the weekends that we're not racing, I can work on the car, cut grass, etc... or travel to see Kim.

In that arena.. where do I start. I've never been in this situation before. So deeply immersed in someone that everything we are finds it's way into each aspect of my life. It's been a big learning curve for me and while I've been trying to adjust and 'do the right thing', I've not been nearly the person I should've been from the start. The intent was there, but the execution was not. That's something I've worked on to correct and I hope I'm getting things right.
We've tried to make this long distance relationship work the best we can, and while not always easy, it's the effort that counts. We try to visit each other as often as possible, and sometime that means 4 weeks between visits. We do what we can and in the end, I can't ask for anything more.

The summer is going to prove very interesting in that we've both got things we want to do together, and on our own ( more due to necessity than choice ), and I'm sure that if we work as hard as we are now at it, we can get thru it just fine and make us closer.

I'll try to keep this updated and post pics and stories along the way.
Thanks for not giving up on me. I've not given up on this.
