Lately I've been thinking about HUNDREDS of books I wanna write. I want to write about everything I experience, it's ridiculous. Like, I serve right now and it makes me want to write down the ridiculousness we encounter on a day to day basis. Everyone would read that because 1) people would relate and 2) it'd be funny to hear the dumb things that happen. And honestly, it's pretty dumb. Like... the dumbest. I also want to write about the people in my life, a tree in a field, a book about a car, and so forth. (NO YOU MAY NOT STEAL MY IDEAS! THANKS) I really think I am called to write books about real life and turn them into a story form. It's what I'm most interested in. This seems to be my realization within the last few weeks.
Baby Evelyn is a doll as usual. Still just a baby though. Sleep, poop, hazily look in directions at nothin, cry, eat. And repeat. I can't wait until she can INTERACT with me (Like baby Bennett whom I got the pleasure of meeting today. He's a cutie Laura!) But I guess I'll take it because apparently they are never like this again. Do they become annoying? Or cuter? Or outspoken? Or questioning? We shall see!!
Last Thursday I had the wonderful pleasure of having dinner with some college friends. Sure, they are all married, but I love everyone. And it's not even like I know the boys because my roomies are married to them, but I've actually had interactions with them on my own and in some cases, before the two were dating. So it's really refreshing to see 6 other people that know me and love me and that we all enjoy each other's company. I wanna soak up those moments all the time. Not to say that my friends I've had for years are bad, but it's just different. We still dont' know each other's secrets and we certainly have never dealed (Yah, I just wrote that. golly my typing skills are bad... DEALT) with something so hefty as a teenage death. So yah, I like it.
Last weekend Justin and I went to a ginormous corn maze and it was probably one of the best I've been to! The weather was perfect, and we were able to enjoy some good ole fashion pig races, petting zoo, EXOTIC petting zoo (hellooooo baby cougar! I want to own you!) a jumping pillow, cheese curds, and a corn pit. Wait.... what's a corn pit you ask? Oh you know, it's like a pool filled with corn. And yes... it IS as amazing as it sounds. Let me tell you, it was a highlight. I can't say that i've ever been in corn like that. I probably wouldn't advise it towards the end of the season for the maze because according to Justin, children WILL pee in it. Seriously?? Sick. We got the fresh stuff. The never been touched yet corn. I also brought some back to Justin's house. hahah. Who knew?! I reallly wanted it I guess! That's what pockets are good at I guess! After the corn maze we made our way to the top of the IDS tower which was a very beautiful sight to see. It's this place called Windows of Minnesota and they hold wedding ceremonies/receptions and office events and so forth. We weren't technically supposed to be up there, but we just acted like we were getting married and wanted to see what it was all about. The people we talked to were super nice. Found out that October is their craziest month!! Who knew?! Maybe I won't get married that month.... lol. I don't need pretty fall leaves and the smell of fall do I? Sigh. Anyway, that's in the future so no need to worry.
Justin and I have officially been dating a year and a half. And by officially I mean the day I picked to go by. Either way, we've made it further than before and come out on top. What does that mean you might ask? Well... I'm not sure. I feel good at where we are. I feel like we've moved passed this plateau that we've been in, I feel loved without him saying it, I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be. I can't ask for much more than that. He is my favorite person to be with, and I always know I can be who I am around him and he is okay with it. Haha. And that's a lot to handle!
Oh another long one. I just want to cover everything! I need a smart phone so I can just blog on the go. Just think of all the wonderful things I would capture! I'll see what I can do.
Until next time...
Love,
P.S.-one of my good friend's mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. It's a scary time and I think it's advanced. We aren't for sure on the stage, but I need everyone's hope and prayers to go to the Abrahamsons. I think with everyone praying to our Father it will at least settle their hearts and let them know that they have more friends than they know what to do with. Pray for peace, patience, understanding, the will to fight through this, love, and hope.
