So, I probably won't get to be on this like I would like.  ie...once a week or so.  But still email me.  dancing_casper@yahoo.com.  Call me.  You know my number or can find my number from someone that knows it.  I have some packing to finish and time to spend with my family (even though Mandie is working, my mom is sleeping and my dad is forever engrossed on his compy or tv).  I just wanted to say see you later to people.  We will be down in about a month...I will let you know dates soon. 

Do me a favor and curse the freeways and other drivers for me...as there aren't even stop signs where I am going.

I will miss you guys,

So, in just a minute I have to go to the DMV.  FINALLY I will get to put my car in my name.  I will be officially responsible.  It might be the most expensive thing I own.  Unless it really is worth crap.  My fantasy is that when we finally need a "family" car then someone rich at the church will be needing to get rid of their smaller sized SUV because of taxes and will give it to us.  Just in time for my car to bite the dust.  Just a little fantasy I have...  :)

Today I babysit for my eventual nephews and neice.  How fun...I have those now.  They call me Aunt Jenni.  How cute.  It will be a cool time of bonding with them, we will have lots of fun and tire them out really good.  Then we will call Uncle Jason and by then they will be super tired and will go to bed easy.  Then I wait till who knows when for Stephen and Collene to get home. 

Today is my last day of work too.  Tomorrow I pack a WHOLE bunch.  Saturday morning is a trip to Glen Ivy with Mandie and my mom.  Then to the bank to close accounts (seeing as there isn't a B of A up there) and then to Davids Bridal because my wedding dress is IN and I get to get it fitted.  YAY!

Welps, I must get going to get all my junk done.  I will talk to you dudes later.  Bye

Cool.  I just did turbo tax online.  I should be getting about $1000 back total.  I could use that for sure.  I will buy Jasons wedding band and pay off some student loans and stuff.  Too bad i have to pay them like $50's now to file online.  I don't ahve that.  So I have to wait. Or maybe I will just let my parents file it for me in about a month.   Then it won't cost.  Only thing is, I could use the money now kinda of thing.  Ah well.  That is still my best return ever.  A much needed return.

A week from now I will be driving on the 5 to my new place of residence.  Weirdness.  That means a lot to do this week.

OH.  We FOR SURE have the church now.  Now I can finally order invitations and get other things settled.

I really need to jump in the shower and get ready now.  Hasta jiggas.

(call me so we can hangout)

I just dropped Jason off at the airport about an hour ago.  It is weird to think that next Sunday I will be picking him up again so he can drive up with me when I move up on Monday.  The reality of leaving down here is starting to set in.  It is making me feel a bit lonely.  Hopefully I will be able to spend some time with everyone this week.  I am feeling a bit tired right now, and it is only 715.  It was a good day.  The weather was perfect for me.  Just the way I like it.  We went on 2 walks, had a late breakfast and lunch, cleaned up the back yard and watched a movie.  Just relaxing.  Yesterday we started registration at Target for the wedding.  Oh!  On Thursday, Jason dropped me off at work and took my car to run some errands.  When he picked me up, I looked down at my radio and it looked different.  He got me a new stereo system.  I can play cd's AND I have more than one working speaker.  And...we fixed the rattling passenger door. Yes, thats right Rachel, you no longer have to rest your arm on that door in exasperation.  His visit down here was quick...especially cause I had to work.  Blah.

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately.  Getting married is a strange thing.  First there is the idea that for your whole life you have to restrain yourself from so much.  Even hugging in public is awkward and can be looked down on.  But then you say "I do" and suddenly you can do it all.  Thats weird.  Then there is the whole "leave and cleave" idea.  I am learning this applies to more than just your parents.  There is a whole adjustment in relationships with family and friends.  First,  I can't be depending on my parents for everything.  Even if Jason and I get in a fight, I can't go crying to my mom.  And not only that, but then about 30 other people suddenly become your family.  Things with friends are different.  The husband becomes first in your life (next to the Lord of course).  So that freedom of just coming and going with my friends is different.  Not that friends are out of my life by any means...I just can't randomly go to the mall with them whenever.  Even involvement in church will be different.  Like, say there is a bible study I want to go to, but that is one of the nights my husband will be home, then I need to stay home with him...unless otherwise agreed upon.  But I probably can't be doing bible study every night of the week. 

None of this I am complaining about.  They are things I have been learning, thinking and praying about a lot the last 2 months.  During this bit of transition time, it makes things kindda lonely.  I sometimes feel completely out of the loop.  However, that lonliness is filled with excitement of getting to enjoy this time with the person I will grow with for the rest of our lives.  I would never trade what I have been given by God in this.  I guess I just miss my friends and family right now. 

I leave a week from this monday.  I would like to spend some time with everyone, cause I miss a lot of people. 

I didn't sleep very well last night.  I had a dream that my sister kept trying to kill me and she laughed about it.  My mom laughed too.  I sat in the middle of the old kitchen, locking her out of the house, screaming and crying out of lonliness, while everyone laughed at me. 

In the mean time, I am baking chocolate chip cookies.  I thought it would be fun and special to have some set out with mountain dew for when jason arived.  I made tissue paper dasies and maybe i will light a candle.  So yeah.

I spoke with the people witht he preschool/daycare last night.  It is awesome because 1) it is a daycare for the lower classed community up there.  The families that are just getting by.  What an awesome example in the community.  2) I will be bringing the academics to the daycare.  Basically, I will get to be the teacher.  I will get to plan things to teach the kids, how they will be taught, and crafts and all that stuff.  Maybe we will have farm month and visit the shephards and sheep.  Things like that.   Very excited. 

High school group is tonight.  I am going to need some energy for it.   Humm. 

Ok, talk to you guys later.
