Trumpets

I sure love the Ben Folds song Army.  Just.  Yeah.  Been thinkin a lot today.  


Being engaged is so fun.  Friends are coming out of the woodwork with tips, ideas, support, friendship.  It's the best.  And my engagement ring is oh so sparkly.  


My life has been significantly better since I've adjusted to my newish life.  


The basement is shaping up pretty nicely.  There are still a lot of things that I want to happen, but it's a step by step project.  


Although I haven't yet found that elusive full time career, I'm a decent enough employee at work that when I asked for a few more hours a week, I've been consistently scheduled 25+ hours a week.  It's a blessing and a curse.  I get paid to work.  Blessing.  I have to work.  Curse.


I walked around the lake with Katie and McKenna tonight, both whom I love so much.  The level of giggles and awesomeness exceed normality.  It's bliss.  And we're having a girly night in Lawrence next week.  It feels good.  


Also, I'm typing on my new Macbook Pro, which my parents got for me for graduation.  They insist I earned it and I'm grateful for their generosity.  



Becky is the best Maid of Honor ever.  She is always listening to me so patiently.  Even when I kind know my opinion is wrong, she hears me out.  Not even only about wedding stuff. 

But I'll have to work again tomorrow morning.  You know, 6 hours is just an hour too long and an hour too short simultaneously.  5 hours, you can distract yourself enough that it'll go by fast enough.  7 hours you get a lunch break to break up the day.  6 hours, you're watching the clock, starving and tired of being there.  

Sleepy time.

Summer Reading

Warning: Not interesting blog post




This is my summer reading list:



  • Harry Potter Series (Ideally by July 15, but I just started HP1 today)
  • Ender's Game
  • City of Bones (Emily said to)
  • Perfect Chemistry (I love sweet and conflicted love stories)
  • The House of the Scorpion
  • Divergent
  • The Book Thief
Yes.  That will be summer.  I mean, of course I should be planning my wedding as well as trying to find a full time job to jump start my career.  But, you know, other than that.
