And so it is…

Well it’s been a while were to start..

Since I last bothered to write on here, life has changed a bit.

I have the most amazing boyfriend, Sam. We have been together no for 4 months and he makes me ridiculously happy and I love him. Things between us are going great and seem to be headed for an epic future together, and I will stop there as I'm sure he will read this and don’t want to embarrass him interwebs style.

Naturally with my openness of our relationship to everyone in my life the church caught wind of it all and the Bishop finally tracked me down and we had a chat. Basically he wanted to know where I'm at how long I have felt this way and basically put down that I had to chose a “path” So basically I'm on the short path to excommunication from the church.

This isn’t really a problem for me as I have never really taken in any of the church’s teachings as I have been aware of who I am from a young age so I think on some level I knew this was coming eventually.

Still it is a bit weird to have something that has been in my life for 27 years suddenly being taken away, not a bad thing though, just I dunno different. Still If it always came down in life to choosing who I am and who the church wants me to be, the first wins, EVERY time.

I was discussing with Sam the other night that I'm thinking of just sending a letter of resignation into the church asking form my name to be removed from the records, kinda like beating them to the punch really. I really don’t want to be associated with an organization that stands for such hate against the person I am, simply because I'm who I am. So I think I will draft up the letter and send it off this week. I want to make it clear why I am leaving, that it isn’t directed at anyone personally but at the church’s teachings of intolerance and hate for me.

And so it all begins… :-)
