alright already! i realize that i haven’t been writing and i finally have the strength to give an update/explanation.
i would like to preface the following with a caveat:
i am not pregnant (yet/that i know of). when i am, i will tell you all
alright so recently i stopped taking oral contraceptives/old vitamins and have replaced both with a mega pre natal in preparation for becoming pregnant IN A FEW MONTHS (note: NOT NOW). because of this, my hormones have been way out of whack and i have been mildly depressed. i have been sleeping a lot more and have had almost no energy. i have noticed that i feel exhausted after faking enthusiasm for a couple of minutes because it takes so much effort.
i am slowly feeling better every day and know that in a few weeks i will be readjusted.
i just beg of everyone to be patient with me right now and not to get upset if i don’t update here/call/email/hang out/anything else. *lol* ahem, sarah: “it’s not you, it’s me. seriously though, all i want is to be left alone. just typing this entry (for 3 minutes) has made me tired and a little sad. i don’t want anyone to take my bad mood personally (as i have been made aware that at least 4 people have already). please please please know that it isn’t anything that anyone has done but just a rough patch that i will be over in a couple of weeks.
one last thing: i DO NOT want to talk about any of this on a one on one basis! i know several of you will want to contact me to try to help, but realize that this will only make things worse as it will exhaust me trying to make you feel like you’ve helped me so that you don’t feel bad. only time can help.
ps sorry if i sound mean in this. i am really trying to be nice, but i am just really unbalanced right now.

as everyone knows, addiction can be an inherited trait. so, being a junkie for pepperoncini myself, the little girl in this video is probably not a long shot from how mine will be someday.

it would take hours to post the long passed due update, so i’ve decided to break it down into smaller posts in hopes of maintaining my sanity.
in this post: state sign pictures & maps!
now, i have no doubt that you are all on the edge of your seats to see these amazing pictures, but i must insist that you take some deep breaths, drink plenty of water, and remember to answer nature when she calls.
so we decided (and by we, i mean me) to take most of our pictures in sepia tones in order to keep with the concept of being pioneers. we were, after all, fleeing our eastern village for a new and promising life in the west. anyhow, we took pictures of all the state signs and followed up with a kiss (we’ve officially made out in 16 states to date). the only color picture was oregon…but that one was blurry.
we visited 2 states more than we meant to; utah as a detour (just to say we were there) and washington (random party invite the day we arrived in portland).
*lol* yeah, so the whole map thing…i’m not sure about you, but i’ve found that there are some hilarious names on maps. for example:
BIG update coming probably tomorrow. i have a week off and will be posting a lot from the last month.
ps i had a dream last night that michelle obama was a good friend of mine and i had a pool party with her and 10 of her kids (although they only have 2). it was awesome

we got hooked up today! yeah internet! our stuff came on sunday and i’ve been unpacking in the hours between work. oh, i got a job, did i tell you? yeah, christoph asked what i’d be doing with my time until my internship began in late august to which i had no reply. “why don’t you get a summer job?” he asked. “oh! i could do that couldn’t i?” was my reply. so i did. i work at this amazing independent toy store where i actually get paid to play with kids and toys all day. it’s awesome! if i had had this job before getting my degree i am not sure that i would have gone back to school.
anyhow, i wanted to mention that we are planning on changing our last name to my maiden name soon. those of you that know both our last names shouldn’t be scratching your head right now. it’s simple: i had a very easy to pronounce, spell, and remember name and i changed it to his hard to pronounce (only 3 people have done so on the 1st try so far), spell, and remember name. heck, most of my family doesn’t even know my last name. and those that do always pronounce it wrong.
i will post a billion pictures as soon as i get all our stuff unpacked and put away. promise. cross my heart.
