| oh hai!
i figged i should update again.
it's been a while.
i don't really know what to say.
so i'll just say things that come to my mind.
i'm sick right now. with cold-like symptoms. i think it's almost over, though. so that's cool. i've gone through two cubes of tissues and one 'jumbo' roll of twirlet paper. yay.
mark and i are chilling at home today because we're basically snowed in. our area got lots of snow yesterday into today and the roads are lame. i was off today, and his job told him to say home. so we've been vegging out on our respective couches with our respective laptops.
he made us break-fast today at 2:00pm. it was good. i liked it. it tasted nice.
(haha)
we've been married for lots of months now. it's awesome. it probably helps that we're like best pals. or something. we like to laugh a lot. it's fun.
mark and i renewed our apartment lease for another year. so we'll be in the dayton suburbs a little longer. perhaps someday we'll move somewhere totally different. we'd like that. but cool things are still happening in this area, so it's alright. we'll stick around a little longer.
i'm still working at a starbucks around the corner. my coworkers are really cool. a few of them have moved on, and i miss those people. it's crazy when you realize how much someone brought to a certain environment once they're gone from said environment. but yeah, there are still plenty of good people left, and i enjoy hanging out with them outside of work, even!
oh! my brother's wife had a baby early this morning i have a nephew now. reece alston walker. i can't wait to meet him. he's probably awesome. i already have two nieces via my oldest brother, so it will be fun to have a nephew now as well.
my dad just got a double knee replacement. craziness. he's almost 61 years old, though, and is still working as a mailman. so i guess he deserves some new knees. ha. he's not following all the post-op rules, though, so that worries me. he's being rebellious. tsk, tsk... i hope everything heals up properly.
anyhoo, that's a random, stream of consciousness update for anyone who reads this.
have fun!
enjoy life!
much love!

| so we've been married for like a month and a half now.
ahhh!
basically, it's awesome.
it's so great to not have to leave mark at night to go back home to my parents.
it's great to be able to sit down and talk with him when things happen instead of having to wait until the next time one of us has enough time and gas money to get to the other person's house.
better yet, it's great to actually be able to actually share basically all our happy moments, thoughtful moments, boring moments, funny moments, etc, instead of waiting until the next phone call or visit to simply tell about it.
we love hanging out with each other and with our friends here in our new neighborhood.
we love watching funny shows and good movies together in our living room.
we love winding down in the evenings with some beer (or wine) and some clove cigarettes (or hookah).
we love having sex usually at least once every day, typically in our phat, round bed.
we love getting to have conversations every day about whatever's on our minds.
we love cooking meals (or rather, he does, i mostly just do the cleanup afterward) and trying new recipes in our tiny kitchen.
we love to share kisses, messages, spanks on the butt, and i-love-yous throughout the day.
basically.... we love being married.
in other news...
i recently turned 21.
i recently, officially, graduated from CCU.
i am currently attempting to learn an awesome (new to me) recording/programming/live performance software called ableton live. it's going to make my recording, programming, and live performances freaking awesome. i can't wait to be able to use it proficiently.
i recently had an interview with a starbucks within walking distance from our apartment. i'm hoping i get that job, because the quality of his van is kind of shakey right now and my car is currently dead. so now that you've read that, if you'd send up a little prayer, i'd appreciate it!
mark's job situation, on the other hand, is solid, and he's having a progressive influence at the church where he works. it's great to see them actually listen to some of the ideas he has.
mark is working on getting our studio set up so it will be a user-friendly, efficient, recording machine... room. i'm proud of him and how much knowledge he soaks up so that he can get things done in the stellar fashion for which he strives. he's a good man.
mark recently purchased an actual skateboard (we've both had longboards for a while) and he's been getting into that as a fun hobby-thing. the other day we went to a skate park and pretty much trashed our legs. ha. he's all bruised and scabby from practicing tricks and falling down ramps, and i (stupidly) thought it would be worthwhile to take my LONGboard down a ramp thing at the skate park. i totally wiped out and messed up my knee. hey, at least now i know...
good times.
anyway, that's a not-so-brief update on the life of me and of my husband.

| um.... wow.
so i'm like six weeks away from marrying my biggest crush ever.
how awesome is that?
pretty fackin' awesome.
he's so great.
handsome, mature, loving, funny, smart, all those good things...
i love him. so much.
i've had a couple surreal experiences recently, related to the marriage and all that.
the first one felt pretty monumental to me... we leased our first apartment. it's so great, he did a good job finding it. it's nice and cozy (by which i mean, way small, ha) but it is definitely going to work and be a comfortable home for the two of us. he's moved in, and i get to hang out with him sometimes. he already found an awesome couch and dining room table, and he's soon going to splurge on a phat mattress. because, in married life, the mattress is very important. very important. ha. anyway, the place is looking quite chic, and i can't wait to move in with him.
the other surreal experience was my bridal shower. there were like 40+ women there, all expressing their love for me, and showering gifts on me and mark. it was one of those, is this for real? days. so many people (mainly my sister-in-law, she worked realllly hard on it) helped out with the set up, clean up, etc, and i felt so loved and blessed. it was so weird, though, because it really, thoroughly hit me that i am getting married. i was given all sorts of boring housewares, and i deemed each one of them 'ours.' it felt really good. i dropped them off at our apartment later on, and mark was stoked, too. we had fun daydreaming about where everything should go, how we're going to cook together, do laundry together, clean the bathroom, and all kinds of other domestic things. it was awesome.
isn't it weird how basically every (normal) human longs to coexist with other humans? like, especially one in particular? i mean, cleaning a house is boring stuff, but when it's paired with one person in particular, it's so dreamy! weird...
i don't know... life is weird.
marriage is going to be weird.
but i absolutely cannot wait.

oh, so by the way...
i finally graduated.
i finally got the last of my assignments turned in a week late.
i actually passed all my classes thanks to some gracious professors and some miracles in the grading department.
i was so happy when i got my grades back, i cried with joy.
it felt/feels SO, so, sooo good to be done and to have the assurance that i have passed and finished.
nothing else is hanging over my head. except for student loans.. but that's different...
i've had some pretty bad days in my life...with tragedies, sickness, et cetera...but i can honestly say that those last two weeks of college included THE WORST days of my life. i had three legitimate mental breakdowns, and as i stated in the previous post, my body was totally effed up, so i was in the worst health all-around. i was so out of it and couldn't really enjoy the finer moments of those last days of school.
my fiance was great, he prayed for me, stayed on the phone with me until the wee morning hours sometimes, he came down to help me get through some projects. i couldn't have made it without him.
i also had some great friends nearby who helped me keep things in perspective. laura, thanks for not ditching me in those last weeks of chaos, i know i was a crazed batch. haha. if it wasn't for those friends whom i got to see around campus every day, i probably would have gone crazy for real.
anyhoo.... three months until i get married now.
i've been in a pretty dang good mood for the past couple weeks.
life finally feels right.
family's good.
mark is wonderful.
my car is dead, so i haven't gotten to see my friends since i left school....but i'll get to see them sometime soon, and it will be good.
