New
So I ran into Xanga again tonight. Leafing through the years of blogs, it became so plain that life is so....alive. It can't stop changing and altering how you view everything else. That's sort of the crux of human experience - change, that is.
The many worries I once confessed to you, my friends, have since proven themselves rather inconsequential, mere glances of hardship - like the untied shoelaces of existence. I still find joy in those happy blogs and am still annoyed by many of the things I ranted about in past lives. But the down times...those are the ones that make me wonder who the h I was back then. I guess really, I've just tangibly realized what so many have impressed on me through the years - life goes on.
...and I'm finding each time that you fall
you're just becoming who you are.

Greetings Xanga friends!
I just spent the last 15 minutes browsing through your blogs and finding out what's been new with you all; I think I should do that more often. Though I enjoy Facebook, it doesn't have nearly the personal quality that a good ol' blog site has.
So in case anyone is out there browsing through Xanga and wondering what's new with me, here it is:
In just over a month, Mark and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary. Pretty amazing for a girl who thought she might never get married, huh? He is absolutely the light of my life and I cannot believe God picked such a good one for me. I'm truly the luckiest.
Marriage is super fun. It's like college life when you really liked your roommates, but even better (sorry Mel, Al and Beth!). I'm to the point now that I think if I can't spend time with him, I'd rather just be alone. C'est amour!
Teaching is growing on me. I guess I have learned a lot about who my students are and what they need from me - which is a lot more than grammar, writing and literature. Through teaching, I've actually learned a lot about what God expects of me as a Christian. I've learned how to preach the gospel without using words.
I'm not pregnant or anything. We are not planning on crossing that bridge for some time. There are an assortment of other legs of our journey that we view as imperative predecessors to parenthood (i.e. Mount Personal Education, Homeownershiptown, and FinancialInvestmentville).
Anyhow, I hope all is well with everyone out there. Drop me a line!

alright, alright. so i confess - myspace has become my predominant blog, gay as it is, and whether or not it's a blog. anyway, here i am, back to you, dear xanga friends.
summing up two months.....i like photography. in spite of my teacher's status as a self-absorbed pervert with a rather arid artistic eye, i feel i've improved a great deal and have enjoyed the chance to make art out of reality, rather than vice versa.
i'm in love. that's pretty rad.
my lease is up at the end of may. not so rad. i like my parents, but moving back in with them is not on my list of exciting post-grad plans. this fact is intensified by the idea of being what seems like states away from mark (see previous paragraph), particularly when i'm accustomed to seeing him nearly every day.
additionally, i'm hungry for thai food.
commencment is in a couple weeks. *shrug*
how are you?
