| David inspired me to write on here again, although its been a very long time.
So. I'm married. We've been married over a year now. We live in Chicago and can't wait to move to Indiana at the end of August. I'm tired of the buildings, and the trains, and the people. I want to get back to a place where all I see for miles around are fields. And we miss our friends and family. we talk about you guys all the time.
I love being married to David. He is an awesome person and I feel incredibly close to him so maybe this year in Chicago wasn't a total waste.
Lots of our friends are getting married this year, which is incredibly exciting. I have so much to learn about marriage still, but I have learned a few things since June 23rd, 2007.
1. Even if you think you know everything about your new spouse already, you don't. You just don't.
2. You will get sick of each other, and that's okay. You still need time apart. Dave and I spend plenty of happy nights where he sits at his computer and I watch TV or read, and we say very little the entire night. I wouldn't want every night to be like this, but sometimes, we just have nothing to say.
3. This is the big one - It will never be equal. By this I mean that there is no way that you both can get the same amount of compassion or attention. Sometimes Dave needs more attention from me, even if I'm having a bad couple of weeks too. Other times, he has to put his feelings on the shelf to take care of my needs. I thought that having everything be equal was essential to having a healthy marriage. Instead, I learned that taking care of each others' needs as the situations arose was what made our marriage strong. I know that I trust David more than ever to take care of me. I know he feels the same way about me.
And now I step off my soapbox, and become short again. I love cheese, the color yellow, and David Baumann.
later gators.

| so its been awhile. currently I am working at my dad's office during the weekdays to make some extra bill and gas money. I live at my parents because I am getting MARRIED in 23 days! and then to Mexico for a week, and then housesitting for the parents for the month of July and finding our own place in Chicago. I've been sending resumes to museums for the past few days, and more will be going out in teh next week or so. I've gotten good feedback from teh Field Museum, but i'm not getting too excited about it because i'm sure someone with more experience will apply for the same position I did. but at least I'm getting my name out there. things are going well. Dave's amazing and we are so excited for the wedding! so that's about it. that's all i've got for now. i'm boring. | | |
| these next few weeks are going to be rough. essays every week. no motivation to do anything. restless sleep. i need to write and send out resumes. i need to get on my girls about their dresses. i need to get my weddings all figured out. i need a plan. a plan for my future, our future. i have never worried about what was coming so much. i have worried, but in the back of my head i always knew everything would turn out pretty well for me, because i'm lucky that way. but i have no idea what's coming. its all going to be so different. so new. i become a college graduate in a little over a month. i become a wife in 2 1/2 months. my sister will make me an aunt for the third time in 6 months. i'll be digging my toes into the working world soon. i'm excited. i just don't know what's coming. i'm worried that i'll be confused and everyone will know i wasn't prepared for this grown-up life. i can't wait. i think marriage will be the most exciting, fun, painful, emotional, fantastic experience of my life. just a few months to go. i am so happy. | | |
