8. What are 5 passions you have?

Hmmmm....this is a very interesting question. I suppose they are....

1. Jacob. We fight and disagree and sometimes I want to shake him, but words cannot express how much he means to me and how happy I am to be able to fall asleep next to him every night. He understands how crazy I am and doesn't judge me and tries really hard not to be frustrated when I do stupid things that most people would have yelled at me for by now. He is always there for me and knows the different expressions that I can make with just my eyes. I don't know if there's anyone else in the world who can do that but him.

2. Dancing. I love it. Something happens when the music comes on and I'm in front of people and I'm moving. It's magic. I can't describe it. I feel outside of myself while completely comfortable within myself all at the same time.

3. Reading. I could literally sit around all day and just let books take me to far off places. I haven't had enough time lately to read anything which has made me sad (especially since I have some sort of epic love story waiting to be picked up) but hopefully that'll change soon.

4. Sewanee. I left a piece of my heart there 3 years ago.

Here's a beautiful aerial view.

Here's our chapel, All Saints.

There are tons more pictures I could post, but I won't to spare you.

5. My friends. I literally don't know where I'd be without them sometimes.

Things that I don't like: waiting, feeling gross and worthless, people lying to me, people acting like they are way busier than they are to make people not ask them to do anything and make them feel more important, feeling like I'm not good enough. Unfortunately all of these things have happened to me today. Harumph. :(

5. What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?

I decided to write this one today because I got a random nugget of luck at work today.

1. (This is only #1 because it JUST happened). I DON'T HAVE TO DO 4 PEOPLE'S JOBS AT WORK!!! Thank the lord almighty. I almost cried when my boss told me they were moving someone from another department upstairs to take over. I.Almost.Cried. Seriously. I was freaking out today about how I was going to get everything that I had to do done and then my manager was out so I kept getting bs calls to 'find this' and 'send me that' on top of my mountain of paper on my desk AND THEN I was supposed to train for my new job since his last day is Friday but now I don't have to dooooo that anymore! Hopefully the heavens are lightening my load so that hopefully I'll be able to leave soon.

2. Everyone that I invited to Jacob's birthday party actually came. This made me really, exceptionally happy. Thank you to everyone who came even though none of you are reading this. (Except for you Meagan)

3. I have the greatest friends in the world. I've been really depressed lately and it's surprised me who has stepped forward to ask if I'm okay. Thanks for doing that. I'm working on getting back to okay.

4. Possibilities. I'm trying to hold on to the positives right now and think on the bright side. There are a few jobs that I've applied for that I want desperately. Specifically, I want to go back to Sewanee and get to interact with all sorts of authors and editors and agents for the Sewanee Writer's Conference. Yep. There's that.

5. Last but not least, Jacob. We've had some weird moments here lately but I know that you're trying to fix whatever has gone astray in our relationship. Sometimes I'm stubborn and emotional and closed-off,  and sometimes you're aggressive and nervous and loud. But I know that you love me (even though sometimes I forget) and I'm so glad that I married you. I'm so excited about all the new things that we'll get to do in our lifetime and I'm so happy that you want to make all these grand plans with me because you know I like to travel. And you don't laugh at me because I believe in aliens and get way too into things until I'm weirdly emotionally attached. But I love you. And I know that you love me and all my weirdness.
