Time Flies: Xanga Edition

Hello! I am blogging live from Cincinnati! That's right, I had my very first business trip/conference. Also, this is my first time being away from Dan since we have been married. Which, for those of you that don't remember is almost a year ago!

Time flies...
I was trying to think what I was doing a year ago to get ready for the wedding, then I was like what was I doing 5 years ago?!? Then I remembered my Xanga site. Xanga is pretty much one of the first blogging sites. My friends and I each had one in college. I think a lot of it had to do with Carrie Bradshaw's influence on us and we all thought we should be bloggers...Anyway, it really fascinates me to be able to go back and read what I was going through 5 years ago. I pretty much had no idea what I would be doing with my life or where I would be. I will be honest, working at a law firm in Columbus, Ohio never crossed my mind..I must say it is reassuring to know that even though I had no idea what was going to happen, it all worked out. There is no point in me trying to obesess over the uncertainty the future brings, because it will all work out!

I thought I could share some posts with you!

In class today we discussed the phisiological changes your body goes through when you experience fear, your body tenses up, heart races, pulse races, adrenaline rushes, the urge to pee your pants is also strong....and then we discussed what your body goes through when you experience love, your body tenses up, heart races, pulse races, adrenaline rushes, the urge to pee your pants is strong (ok not for some people but for me yes)....now I never thought I have experienced love, and I still don't think I have, I have endured infatuation and all of its precursors, and the phisological symptoms are much like love's.....The funny thing is that the body naturally reacts the same to both fear and love...which made me wonder....how can something so wonderful have the same reaction to something that is so horrible? Is commitment phobia more than just mental? and should I wear depends when I fall in love????

Where do I begin??? seriously folks....hmmm...work was insane and I am sick of making sandwiches for awhile luckily I won't be doing that until Wed. Supposedly writing one's thoughts is "theraputic"...I have a lot on my mind lately and I am becomming easily annoyed ..so to vent...I am going to make my list of 5 things that bother me so.

1. Knock off designer purses--what's the point, everyone can tell it's fake which makes you look like a skeezy cheap ass
2. Louis Vuitton/Dooney and Burke purses-wow you can spend $700 dollars for a purse which is infact a walking advertisement...I also hate when these purses show up walking out of walmart or dollar general....it doesn't make sense to me...
3. Sweet Sixteen/Laguna Beach especially when it is on after an MTV special about the unnecessary poverty/death....It really bothers me....
4. Selfishness....get over yourself...seriously
5. Lack of manners and respect....people are different...it happens...COPE IT UP...what happened to "please" and "thank you"...in the words of Jack Johnson ( my good friend)...where'd all the good people go?

well....that's better.......

I will write about coldplay soon!! it was SMASHING!


Ignore the typos!!

Ok ok so here is the deal...I know you are dying on the inside, wanting to know what is going on with me and a certain someone...ok maybe not...but anyways a few people told me they can sense the tension and they know we both like eachother, which is nice! But I like that things are going slow and that I am friends first with a person before things get serious....I am happy and I don't have to try to explain his actions and my friends like him, and if we stay only friends I am fine with that too. :) anyways that is the update...and i will keep you posted...well maybe...muhahahhaahaha!

The moral: of the story... Life is good, I am happy, I have the most wonderful friends on earth, and my car is a piece!


I knew it!!!

Well... I guess it is time to update this site. Well since I last posted I have been accepted to the LVC and I am going to be placed in Milwaukee as a legal advocate for the Task Force on Family Violence. I am really super excited! I don't leave until August 15th and will be in Cedar Falls all summer living with Abbie and the people we are subleasing with! I am probably going to work a "crappy" job and then back to Eldora at the end of July until I leave! http://www.tffv.org is the agency's website!

I am considering taking a May term class, about Intimate Partner Violence....but not sure if this is really something I want to do since I will FINALLY BE DONE with school!

I met the parents last Friday and it went well, they were super nice people :). Which, in turn makes me glad. I guess you could say we are "serious." But most importantly I am happy. We are planning to stay together and let things work out! It is going to take alot of work but I am willing to do this. I really care about him! I guess if it was meant to be it was meant to be, right?

Thank you all for your support and being such great friends and support! I definatley need you all these next couple of weeks as the senioritis kicks in!!!

This is the last one:
