sorry

I haven't been on here in FOREVER! So I decided to make it up by uploading our new engagement pictures :] They are so adorable.
These are the favorites, I put up a lot more on myspace and facebook: ]

prom pic memory :]

i just came across this picture again and it almost makes me sad. This is almost our 3 years together at our senior prom :] now its two and a half years later and we are taking new pictures but I have got to remember to keep this one for our kids. We are so little :(

the great big never ending very very long process of getting an education

When I graduated high school I got a card from my crazy cousin that had a comic strip on the front of it. It showed a graduate running away from high school jumping and screaming with excitement. The next picture showed the high school off in the distance with the graduate still smiling and carrying on. Then the next picture showed the graduate running into a brick wall and falling to the ground. This brick wall was a building with a sign reading "College" at the top of it.

Shawn and I felt that brick wall two years ago and though we went into the building with high hopes, it seems like a never ending process and more like an obstacle course dividing us from now and life. I like college and appreciate my education, but I am so burnt out! I want to open my day care and start my life. I feel like this is never going to end, even with the end in my sights and almost in my grasp. Even after I graduate next year Shawn still has at least a year because he is double majoring. I just want his graduation date to be here. That's the starting line of "real life" that I see. We will buy our house and start a family after he graduates and we both have our careers in order. It just takes so long and today, I am feeling impatient. So I wanted to have a venting spiel on how much I hate college today. The end.

feels like the world just might end

school is starting two weeks from today :(

Shawn: up at 5 work at 6...all the way till 4:30 M-TH. School 5-8:30 right after. Work at the conservation department Friday and Saturday. Off Sunday for a day of church and family.

Lauren: School M-F 8-3... work after.

The question is, when do the bride and groom to be get to see each other?

The answer is my friends, Sundays and Holidays. Long distance relationships suck, but I think that actually living ten miles apart and never getting to see each other might suck more.

I always dread the upcoming semester because I get mad that I won't get to see Shawn and spend as much time together as we got to over break. I wouldn't trade a minute and then BAM! A new semester starts. I can't wait to graduate next year. I can't wait to get to live together. This is hard for me, but it's hard for him too. We have to work at it every day.

I just feel like the world is coming to an end as the semester draws dangerously closer *sigh* My world anyway.
