I could be making 14/hr right now, but instead I'm blogging.
Don't ask me questions I don't know the answer to, please.
I have a pile of sewing to be done at the foot of my bed, words I never ever thought I'd say.
I'm moving to Seattle in 16 days to go to UW for the MedSLP program. More words I didn't see coming.
(This blog is random cause its been too long since I've blogged)
This summer I was my sister's maid of honor (1). last summer I was my best friends bridesmaid (2), two summers before that I was my cousin's bridesmaid (3). yup, three. not that I'm superstitious but ok, take it for what it's worth.
but then,
I caught my sister's bouquet. Strange, I'm pretty sure she aimed. what does this mean? bad luck canceled out?
but then,
I spoke in church last week. the girl who went before me is getting married. she also went to UW for her undergrad. in her talk she said "I never thought I'd find a man who fulfilled my requirements: 1. responsible enough to pay the bills, 2. fun and spontaneous, 3. righteous. Seattle had absolutely no men like this"
and then,
my dad, the high counselor, all of my friends, random boys who know me sort of and this girl's fiancee (who was also speaking) look right at me with that "eee" face like "oh man, good luck up there." but also in that joking funny way. but yeah. it was pretty funny.
also,
everyone thinks I'm going to get married soon. I dont know why they think this. it buggs. (yeah with two g's) because I'm starting a new life? cause I'm thinner? cause I'm moving to a new city? cause meg just got married? cause I'm getting older? why? its not like I date, or hang out with boys, or ask them out, or get asked out, or get checked out even! why all the sudden do they think I'm going to get married? so this makes me think its a charity thing when they say at my sisters wedding "oh you're next, I can just feel it, you are going to meet the man of your dreams in Seattle, I can just feel it, I have a feeling"
well I have a feeling too. I have a feeling that I am going to grad school and becoming a speech therapist and am going to own at it. I'm going to learn and grow and become a better person and a more grown up adult, because that is what is important: me, not my marital status. all of those things are why I'm moving to Seattle, not to find a husband.
though it wouldn't hurt.

i'm having the SAME PROBLEM when i tell people i'm moving back to provo! and i feel the same way. i'm moving to forward my education, not to get married, but i wouldn't be mad if it happened. it's just not top priority.
anyway, love you. you're going to LOVE seattle and do awesome fantastic things. :)
you own those vocal instruments!
but srsly, i'll b preying that u find ur ec.
Janna my love. I hear you. I have been a bridesmaid 7 times, and my BABY sister's maid of honor. Everyone says "Oh, 27 dresses eh?" heh. good one. So i decided to switch things up a little. Lately I have been telling everyone that I am going to get married this year. To who you ask? I don't know. But it sure shuts people up. They just think I am crazy. But of course you would have to be crazy to be single in Provo at 23 and loving it, right?
SEATTLE! Please still be there when I come home. And take vitamin D, it makes the rainy days easier. <3
