well...the day has come. i think i have moved past the baby hunger stage. its true. this is a very good thing. definitely a step in the right direction for now. (mind you...this could be today...and tomorrow could be a whole different story. ill keep you updated. nooo worries.)
we are trying to figure out our summer plans. we have so many options.
1. something just came up and we could get out of our apartment contract...and move into this adorable 2 story condo with a garage in orem that we have secretly been coveting for the past couple weeks (best part..it would cost LESS than what we are paying now..if you can even believe that). i would go to school like i have been planning and greg would work. i would graduate in decemeber. i could play with sam everyday all summer. we could see my family a ton like we love to do. there are plenty of pluses in this situation.
2. we are toying with the idea of moving to north carolina for the summer so that greg could do some shadowing with a dentist that he knows. this is a little bit of a scary option to me for several reasons (ie. where would we store all of our stuff, where would we live, what would i do while he was shadowing?)...but i promised greg that i wouldn't dwell on it until we talk it out and make some decisions...so i won't go into the "cons" just yet...instead i will tell you all of the totally awesome things that would come from it! first, greg told me that he would take me to disneyworld for a weekend. (this in and of itself almost made me make the decision right there and then!!) second, we could take advantage of myrtle beach.. i would get a nice tan...play at the beach...eat good food. definite plus. third, there are so many places that i want to go. the job that greg would be working would only be 4 days per week, so we could go on some totally awesome weekend trips (ie. savannah, charleston, new york...oh my) fourth, it would be a blast to just pack up and go for the summer. leave provo, take a break from school...have the guarantee of nice weather!
3. we are applying to a few internships and pre-dental summer programs for greg. any one of these would be super awesome. the thing is...we didn't think to do this until a little too late...so we are pushing the deadlines, and have already missed the deadlines for lots of the programs that we would have loved to get in to. (maybe next summer on those?) problems...we would have to find an apartment in a random state for 2 or 3 months, we would have to find somewhere to store all of our stuff...i wouldn't have anything to do...but again, i promised greg that i wouldn't stress until we know whether or not we actually get accepted to a program.
these are the main three...anyway, im already so stressed out about making this decision..i can only imagine trying to make the decision for 3 of us instead of just 2 of us. wow. so..thats the story of the day that jordan decided that she was super content with her life just the way it is. plus...we like going out to eat...we like randomly going out..we like going to late movies...we like staying up late and sleeping in late....we like spending our money on little extras...i just dont think that i'm ready for that to stop. i see friends of mine who are having babies and buying houses and whatnot. i just cant imagine having that kind of a financial burden (among other things..) right now! I love our (relatively) cheap rental payment and being able to go where we want and do what we want and spend our money how we want, without really having to be too super worried about our budget. its nice. im not ready for that kind of stress. im content. (finally...praise heaven.)
seriously...i get stressed out much too easily. its kind of ridiculous. actually very ridiculous. i just dont know how to deal!! every little thing stresses me out. its a mess. but then big things...tests...research papers...they just dont really phase me. i need to work on that big time.
greg has been taking an o-chem test for the last 3 1/2 hours. he still isn't home. dinner will be done in 6 minutes. blah. a test that long would definitely be the death of me. i would not do so well. bless him for choosing such a major! oh my.
photos of the day...
this would definitely have to be one of my favorite memories from london (okay, but seriously...how do you pick a favorite memory?) seriously...this is so much harder than it looks...and those lions are so much bigger and higher up and more slippery and hotter than they look...
well..my boy still isnt home. and dinner is ready...just sitting...and getting cold. its tragic. i know. i hope he survives the black hole that is the testing center....poor boy.
