| We're moving back to Houston on Saturday!!!! So long College Station!
Lil' Jesse has his last day of school ever tomorrow! Then, we'll go to Houston and he'll work with his folks and look for a "real job". Then, We will come for his graduation on August 11th. Very surreal... but my hatred for packing is sucking most of the sentimentality out of the situation. | | |
| Right now, I'm sitting in the computer lab at aTm for possibly the last time. I have a presentation a week from today, a final on May 5th, and thus concludes my undergraduate career. I can't believe I've been here for 4 years. So much has happened in only 4 years... the fam moved to Pearland, Bre got engaged, married, and had a baby. I got my first boyfriend, got engaged, got married, switched majors about 4 times, lived in about 7 different places, had 5 different roommates, had about 10 different hair cuts, lost 2 grandparents, Astroworld is gone, thankfully kidney stones are too for now. I have worked as a camp counselor, waitress, substitute teacher, and cake decorator. I joined a sorority, became vice president, and am already an alumni. I have made tons of new friends, and kept the old ones too! I am at a new church, but still know and love the people from the old one. Wow, so this chapter ends on May 12th at 9am. Then comes grad school, job, house, kids, middle age, retirement, grand kids, and ultimately DEATH. For those who remember me and the time surrounding high school graduation, you will remember I do not do change well. Chest pains, random tears, bouts of sentimentality, lethargy in general... its all coming back!
How appropriate that while I'm writing this, I'm listening to KSBJ online and they are playing one of my favorite songs with words perfect for this moment... "My Savior loves, my Savior lives, my Savior's always there for me. My God He was, my God He is, my God He's always going to be!" I really hate change, and He is so unchanging!
Of course, they had to go and ruin my moment by then playing what I like to call "I am a friend of Bob"... so cheesy
In other news.... got a tat last weekend- pictures forthcoming | | |
| My sad life in College Station....I look forward to the following things more than any person should due to my lack of a life in Podunk-ville:
1. X-files marathons on TNT monday and tuesday nights- They start at 11pm and I usually fall asleep on the floor around 3 or 4 am
2. Walking through the student center twice a week to see all the exciting upcoming events in Aggieland 
3. My semi-daily naps while watching FBI files
4. Kolaches from Kolache Rolf's and pretzels from Auntie Ann's- horribly overpriced but soooo worth it (jesse disagrees)
5. Checking the mail- although not lately due to the kidney stone bills that should be arriving soon
6. Filling out my planner for the upcoming week... which is of course pretty empty while living in College Station
7. Sunday sale papers- I am my mother reborn
8. The dollar spot at Target... all the cheap junk I could ever want all in one convenient location
Wow, it's pretty sad when you see it written down... and even sadder that it's all true

| Apparently,
the cool thing @ aTm now is to get married around or before graduation
and get pregnant within the first couple of months! Not gonna lie, that
freaks me out a little. I know I already did the first part, but I'm in
no way ready for the second. Gosh, I think I need to have a little
while alone first... kids are forever! Not to mention the lack of
health care between graduation and getting a job?!? Now, I have some
friends and family who are pregnant and/or have children, but I know
they entered the possibilty of parenthood with much prayer and
consideration i.e. they know what a big deal it is! But man, it seems
like everyone and their dog (or should I say rabbit) up here is getting
pregnant!!! Although Jesse and I dated forever, we have only been
married 4 months, and already people are asking when I plan to have a
baby?!? Yikes, give us a little time to ourselves. Once we have a kid,
they will be there UNTIL WE DIE!!! I have mini-heart attacks everytime
someone mentions it... "are you pregnant yet? are you SURE??" ME: "Uh
yes, I'm totally sure... I mean I think so.... well, last I checked I
wasn't...ummm.....uhhhh......hold on, let me go take a test" [running
away, unable to breathe] Thank goodness God knows me and my heart, and
knows I'm not ready for any babies! (Ok, so that was more a prayer than
a statement  ) Ughhh, scary
stuff.... pretty sad when I view pregnancy on the ranking of things I
want right above a root canal and gangrene. Now, I'm a trendy girl...
but that is one trend I'm just not following... unless they start
making large pink bags for toting babies like they do for Chihuahua's. 
So, I'm insane

| Spring Break is here... and I'm alone in College Station... working @ Cheddars
Okay, so it's not that bad. I'm only here until Tuesday, and it's kinda nice to have some alone time. (Not to mention, Jesse and I agreed any extra money I make I get to use on anything I want while I'm in Houston... I'm thinking 200 Slirpee's) Jesse left town yesterday and is gone for 10 days with his old roommates on their "farewell tour" before they all graduate an move away from good ol' A&M. They are road tripping to Nashville, Charleston, Cincinnati, DC, Atlanta, ect. I was a little excited for him to go, and get a small break from his messiness, but my excitement lasted about 6 hours. By the time I got home from work last night I was ready to have him back! I didnt realize how much I liked having him around, even when he's being a pest. Being married is wonderful, it just takes some time to get used to being together ALL THE TIME, after seeing each other a few hours a day or every other day while dating. But I am really glad he got to go on this trip, and spend time with his boys before we all have to "grow up".
So I'm pretty sure my co-workers @ Cheddar's and I are the only under 25 year olds left in the city this week. I've made a few friends at work, also "new people", which makes it way easier being "new" together. Some of the other servers invited me to get trashed at BW3 tonight, but I told them I had church in the morning, and would join them for boozing tomorrow night. Ha! But seriously, work is ok. Im still trying to learn the ropes, and not look like a moron all the time, maybe just some of the time.
I can not wait to go back to H-town on Wednesday! I really miss the little kids, and Brooksie too! We're having a sister night at the Rodeo on Thursday... seeing Hilary Duff (one of Bailey's favorite Disney ppl)! The next night Katie, Beef, her friend, and I are going again! I'm excited to spend time with my fam, Katie and other friends back home, my new in-laws, and no studying! Our wedding pictures finally came in and are waiting for me @ my parent's house! I'm thinking about cutting and dieing my hair also, as a surprise for Jess... so shhh! In conclusion... big week ahead... away from B/CS!!
My kidney stone antics have stopped for the time being. I have a final ultrasound on Monday to get the complete all clear!! Yeah for no more dr bills! (All this taught me what a racket the health care field is... $10,000 for a 4hr ER visit!!!... dont worry, insurance covers most of it... thank you Jesus for parents who insisted we get med insurance before getting married!!) Unfortunately, now that kidney issues have subsided (hopefully forever!) I have developed indigestion/heartburn stuff?!? I owe it all to my wonderful father who also has indigestion, a kidney stone at 18, bad teeth, poor eyesight, thick wavy hair, dry sense of humor, ect.. Thanks Dad, couldn't have done it without ya!!! (Remind me to kick you in your bad knee the next time I see you) I have considered the theory that I am internally, a 75 year old woman, like that movie JACK, since all my "ailments" - stones, heartburn, back ache, sleepiness, crankiness- are common in the elderly... it's all downhill from here I suppose. --DISCLAIMER-- I realize some of these things are pregnancy symptoms... dont worry, this is NOT the case... REALLY . Just fyi 
School is going well. 4 hrs can be really rough sometimes I spend the majority of my T/TH's trying not to step on the boys in my ballroom dancing class, who are ALL a foot shorter than me (Hello, Jr High!!) and waging word wars in class discussion against liberal hippie Anthro majors (unlike myself, apparently the only conservative, non- darwinian, animal eater Anthro major alive)
Okay, that was really long... but it's a good release, since I doubt anyone will read this far down... and it has helped me organize my thoughts, and avoid cleaning the apt  | | |
