face aliens and religious adventures

i need to wind down my head a bit before going to bed, cause i've been up playing half-life 2 which is almost the scariest game ever, so i thought i'd take the opportunity to throw down a blog post.

so last sunday tony was called into the bishop's office after church. i thought he was in big trouble for, i don't know, chewing gum in church or something. or wearing a tie that didn't match my outfit. or killing someone. hey, i'm not with him 24/7, who knows what he does on the way home from work. anyway, it turns out the bishop just told him to go on a mission. apparently he was so impressed with tony's public speaking skills while he was giving a talk several sundaes (mmm, ice cream...) ago that he felt he should put those skills to use in the mission field. plus he looks way good in a suit, which is a well-known missionary requirement.

of course, tony said that if he goes, i have to go. i told him he was cute and kept playing video games.

just kidding. i actually feel really good about the kid going on a mission, and if he went i would go too. on my own mission. (dur.) i know it would be extraordinarily good for us, both as individuals and in our relationship. plus that whole teaching the gospel thing.

so that's what's been on our minds the last couple days. i do feel good about it, but at the same time i feel a little impatient at other things i want to be happening in my life. it seems like everyone around me is getting married or having babies or playing with the babies they already have or buying their first home, etc. i'm not really in a hurry for all that, but with it being a potential next possible step i can't help but get excited dreaming about it. i know 2 years isn't a ridiculous amount of time, but when standing on this side of it, it seems to stretch.

of course i can put those feelings away for tony's sake if he decides to go. and for my own sake. i'd feel way too guilty knowing i denied both of us the blessings of a mission just because i was impatient to do something we can still do later. it's just a little exhausting thinking about it.


okay, i'm feeling more ponderous and less scared now, so it's bedtime. what up, bed. i'ma sleep in you.

picshures

my friend crissy has recently inspired me to take more pictures. it's something i've been wanting to do for eons, but i never seem to be able to remember to bring the picture-taker whenever we go places. the last several times we've done stuff, though, i've managed to take the camera, which i will shamelessly unload here.

it's so bedtime

i have the most wonderful and amazing boyfriend/best friend. he restored my desktop with internet! no more lappy for me. i am so in love with him and this computer.

i had a very good weekend. friday night tony and i ate kettle corn and partook in the finishing of our watching of the epic journey that is the lord of the rings. it made me want to go on an adventure, but tony reminded me that we don't have any cursed jewelery.

saturday was a very busy day, but it was the gratifying kind of busy. i've been so not busy lately. so we airsofted, got kicked out of our airsofting grounds by landowners and policemen, got jamba juice and arby's, played resident evil 5 at tingey's house with buddies, bought art supplies, and then came home and set up for a figure drawing thing i decided to have. which was a blast for me. not too many people showed up, but it was enough and honestly i'm not sure my house could fit that many more. i love friends! we talked and drew and ate cookies. tony saw ninjas that nobody else saw. and then after that we went to The Pie with some of my old highschool friends in honor of pi day. i would like to remind everyone that pizza is delicious and should be eaten as often as possible.

it was also a very good sunday. church was inspired and featured a musical number that will stay with me for a long time. plus joe, julia, and the munchkins came over for dinner and it made me happy to see them, especially with knowing that they may be moving further away maybe sometime soon. miri's giant smiles make my heart smile giantly.



but mostly i love my boyfriend. he is the greatest and best of all worlds, and i love him with all of my butt. i mean heart. plus, he teaches me how to drive a manual, so he's handy too.

AFRO!

nothing new to report. all's quiet on the western front, except that the ECONOMY SUCKS and we all need better jobs, but that's old news. to cheer ourselves up, tony and i bought afro samurai.




























it is the new video game for xbox 360, and it's glorious. in a bloody, foul-mouthed, 1970's-kung-fu sort of way. we obviously love it, and i've had to stop myself from shouting at people in my best samuel l. jackson voice. i can't in good conscience recommend it to anyone because it's rated M for Motherf'in, but at least look at the cover next time you're in a gamestop.

other than that, there is no other than that. peace out!
