someday

I have officially been working days for about a month, and I am still just as exhausted as I was working third shift. That may or may not have to do with the fact that I am going to school too. I don't know. I do know, that I am tired. School is going well, and I am pulling straight A's, which is nice.... but the classes are kinda boring.

I went to the arboretum a few weeks ago, one of the places we have been talking about getting married at, to see what it would likely look like this time of year... and it was beautiful. I LOVE the arboretum, because it feels like a little slice of calm in the midst of such business. It is literally RIGHT next to wendover, quite possibly the busiest road in Greensboro, but you would never know it.



I would love to get married at the arboretum, for many reasons. I think it is beautiful, and I love the fact that it is somewhere our family could visit on a Sunday after church, ride bikes, play football, walk the dog. Its not some remote fancy place I've never been and that I'll never be back to. And I love the fact that it is that little piece of stillness in the midst of so much chaos... because when we get married, I know there will be times when we are too busy, chaotic, when things aren't working out the way we wanted. I don't like that these times will come, but I know that they will. But we would have this place to come back to, a place to stop and center ourselves again. I know that anywhere we get married will be wonderful, but we both want an outdoor wedding, and I would so love to have it at a place so much with meaning and potential.



Other than busyness, life is good. I love love LOVE my fiance. It sucks that I don't get to see him as often as I would like, but when I do see him, it is always wonderful. Because he is wonderful.

and of course, there is the puppy... getting bigger and more adorable all the time. She's lost all of her puppy teeth, and has a big girl bark now... she's awesome.
