yeah i feel dumb for posting so many pictures of jewelry on my last post. but i was excited about how pretty and simple everything was. i guess those my ideal jewels.
i told myself i wasn't going to write until i showered. but i guess i don't listen to myself. there are a lot of things that are hitting my mind right now and some are private family matters that i REALLY want to talk about but i don't think it's appropriate and others i can talk about more freely.
yesterday Greg turned 30. we didn't do much of anything which i feel bad about. but he had to work the whole day and i had class that evening so our schedules were conflicted. instead, on sunday, i brought home hamburgers (veggie for me) and we watched "punk drunk love." i thought "punch drunk love" was going to be this romantic comedy and in a way it kind of is...but in a larger way it is so not. i also made a chocolate pie yesterday, following gregs mom's recipe, and i must say it turned out pretty well for someone who has no patience for the science of baking. (i once tried to bake a cake and it turned into hard bread....how?) it's a recipe i will definitely use again, probably within the month. that will then be three chocolate pies consumed. :)
on friday i got to see my friend tony. and that reminded me of friendships how they are important, even if you have found "the one" and he/she is your best friend till death do you part, i think friendships are important. i've been feeling nostalgic about this lately and i realized that even though i'm not the only one from my high school class who hasn't really stayed in touch with anyone, i wonder- is fort worth really that far from dallas or austin (which is where seems to reside now)?
anyways, i'm eager to put myself out there on the friendship market if anyone is interested.
what exactly will the future hold? sometimes everything seems pretty clear. and then five minutes later something comes along and muddles it up. and by future i mean what are we going to do career wise?
sometimes i feel like i can really settle. like have the perfect home and the 9-5 career. and i think i can do that.
but sometimes i also get this urge to just do something really absurd like move up north or to europe (with greg of course) and go on tour with him and just live off a bus or something like that. and i know these things aren't incredibly crazy but for someone whose lived in texas their whole life- i'd say it would be a change.
last year, we decided to be missionaries. and i guess that's still not out of the picture. we were going to apply to move to france to be with a start-up church there. but there were some regulations and rules that stopped us from doing anything about it.
i guess what i'm trying to say is...
i don't want to be ordinary.

i'll take you up on that friend thing. i've really enjoyed the times we've gotten to talk and stuff in the last few months. i hope once we become married ladies that we still hang out.
i identify really strongly with that last paragraph you wrote. i've been thinking about a lot of that same stuff too. also, if you're interested in missionary stuff, a bunch of justin's family members have at one time been or are currently missionaries and i'm sure they would be happy to talk with you if you'd like.
wanna get lunch again sometime?
