I guess I can't blame the emails checking for the proof of life lately. I have been rather busy in my business and getting out as Michelle. My life has taken so many different turns that it seems more like a realtiy show than real life. So I guess I should fill in a little about what is going on since I have been bad and not been posting lately.
Back in December my wife and I were finally finishing up the divorce steps when I started dating this woman. We hit it off very well since she excepted me in its entirity. We dated for 3 weeks and right after Christmas it hit me. My wife and I have been separated for 2.5 years for the most part and I was wondering why I never could go on with my life. I finally figured it out. Even with all of the crap that happened the last couple of years, I couldn't move on with my life because I still loved my wife. I tried very hard to bury and kick those feelings out, but they were still there. So on New Years Eve we got back to together and got through a lot of the issues. Now the marriage is getting past some of the real sticky issues and repairing the marriage. I don't know if we are going to make it, but it is looking very promising. She has accepted my cd'ing and even been a big supporter. Not that she has much choice since I run a meetup group here in Denver. <LOL> She has made some friends in the community and we are having a lot of fun. She has gone out with me several times while dressed and we are planning a weekend shopping trip soon.
Once my personal life began to fall into place, the other sides of my life starting taking off as well. My business is going well and the meetup group here in Denver is growing. The group is called Mile High Transgendered and after only 8 months we have 139 members. We have had 66 meeting so far with 14 upcoming meetups in the month of February alone. We are really beginning to hit our stride with the group and I am very happy. We have seen people who have never been out make it to the outside world. This has been a very rewarding thing.
The other big thing that has happened is that I have fallen in love with karaoke. OMG, I sang 4 songs last night and I can't wait to go again. I am becoming a karaoke junkie like TXKimberly. If you are planning on being in Denver let me know as we are planning 2 karaoke meetups next month. There is nothing better than to see a cd'er (ME) sing Aerosmith's - "Dude Looks Like a Lady" while dressed. Things are good and I am very excited about the future. I am hopefull that we will hit 200 members by our one year anniversary in the end of May.
BTW, Colorado Gold Rush is happening next month in Denver. If you plan on coming into town, then let me know. We are planning on scheduling an event for one of the nights during the conference and we would love to have you join us. We have 14 meetups so far scheduled next month but I see the strong possiblity of 20 by the time we finish adding some meetups for karaoke and Gold Rush events. So come on out to Denver and join us sometime for some really cool times.
