Well. I'm eating Lean Cuisine pasta at work. Slam. And can I say, I am really enjoying it.
I've taken a job as a graphic designer for an interactive design agency called CentreSource in downtown Nashville. As a Nashville native, I've never spent a lot of time downtown being that is where the tourists/the country music is. But it's been a nice switch to spend time down here. Kinda feels like a little whilst big city. Anyway. The job is really amazing. And truly an unheard of job to land fresh out of school, but I put myself out there, and this great group of people have put their faith in me. It's hard work, no lie.. but I'm feeling really good about it. They are also paying me really well, so I am in the market for a cute apartment somewhere close to town. The point is: God is good and He provides, and I am so psyched about this new chapter of life.
I'm also really excited about staying in Nashville with Ben... because he's.. amazing. The best. You kinda need to meet him. For sure. :)
Also: the other night, my Dad was replacing the batteries in the thermostat really late at night as it had shut off in the freezing cold.... and after staring at it really close in the dark to determine if the batteries were the problem, he found the head (and only the head) of a mouse who had gone to chew on the wires and electrocuted himself to 1) decapitation and therefore 2) death. He was all fried with his mouth open, still chomped on the wire. I think that's the funniest, grossest thing that I have ever heard in my life. My Dad also got almost attacked by a dog this week, but my faithful Gwyn protected him. He's had a rough week. What a guy.
Things are endlessly good. Family, church, work, Ben, Nashille, Gwyn, apartment shopping... they're all great and I feel very, very blessed right now.
Also: pictures from a day out with (quite possibly) the cutest person I know.. (ps i can't explain my face in these pictures.. i just don't know..)
My pasta is cold and I miss Cooper. The end.
p.s: dear Christin: I have not forgotten you and have a LONG email to you that I just type more on here and there.

Well, I officially suck at keeping up with this. You would think that out of school with virtually nothing to do, I'd be updating this daily about random stuff no one cares about. But I haven't. Rejoice.
The point is.... everything is working out so well. I have:
- taken an amazing job as a designer at an interactive company in downtown nashville . More on this later, but it's suffice to say that I'm.. ecstatic. Today marks one week I've been here.
- been waking up early, acting like an adult (who knew?)
- been slowly shedding pounds off
- been searching for the perfect, awesome, amazing apartment to move into with ol' G.
- been meeting new people, a substantial amount who use the words "code" and "module" frequently..
- been running since I got home-- more much that I ever have, and at some pretty good distances. Music City Half Marathon: here I come.
- been spending a lot of time with these people:
  
- not been missing Bowling Green, even slightly!
Got to go for now. Just wanted to say hi.

Today I graduated from college. It was just alright. :)
Just kidding-- it was amazing. Except that I had a really hard time keeping my hat on. I eventually took it off... sometime around the point where my school president was quoting the lyrics to Forever Young by Rod Stewart. Yes, Rod Stewart. They also played the song as commencement was ending. ? You can't hold it over the guy for quoting it though-- he only has one thumb. This is how stuff works in Kentucky. :)
Weather wise, the day was miserable. It was practically sleeting-- and I had elected to wear a dress & leggings. Gag. But other than that, it's been a very gratifying day. A friend asked me on the phone today, "So what are you doing tomorrow, do you have plans?" and I frankly replied, "I don't know the next time I have plans..." So there's that. I'll work on it... after I sleep for about 8 days straight. Check.
Peace outt.

"
Seldom to touch far away from here, even if I'm released...I can't talk to you anymore.. and I miss you....not in a Slint way, but I miss you
..."
Mm, hi. Writing from bed up in the mountains. We've made it here to rest for awhile, and resting we have been. As we speak, G is passed out on the floor. She's been pretty excited to have two new additions to her ever growing fan club, and has been enjoying her time spent exploring a new big house. She hasn't seen the inside of her crate in quite some time, and it's been good for her. This change is proving to be really good for both us.
I'm having a hard time deciding which of the following things to be most relieved about.. maybe you can help me decide:
1. Being one hundred percent debt free. As a graduation gift from my deceased grandfather, I got a check that wrote off the debt that has been hanging over my head for most of college. To see $0.00 in that slot when I look at my accounts is.. the sweetest relief. I'm still not sure it's real.
2. Being FREE of Bowling Green. This option has several sub-points.. a) Never having to work at Starbucks again (ill fitting clothes, smelling like coffee, early mornings, countless white mochas, constant cleaning, etc..). That's.. so freeing. b) Moving out of my tiny, smelly apartment. Finally, finally!! I didn't realize how much that tiny space had corrupted my spirit, but now away from it, I'm ecstatic to never have to return to it and all it entailed. I feel like I can breathe again. c) No more drama. When I drove away from that city on Monday night, I was leaving some pretty recent, heavy baggage behind. I brushed my shoulder off, and though that city will always hold a spot in my heart, I am so blessed to be free from there.
3. Being d o n e with college! I turned in the last of my schoolwork on Monday evening, and with that, I was done with 4.5 years of college. Like the debt being gone, I am still in a bit of shock. Is this real?
Those are the options. I can't.. focus on one long enough to decide which is more prevalent.. one thing is very true though: this just might be the most amazing week of my life.
So I'm here to detox for a little while. It's almost like a resort where I've unpacked my things, bought some groceries, where I can sleep for 12 hours a night, take runs with Gwyn, I've been baking, and spending lots of time with people I really care for. Here's some photographs of my little haven...
In January, it's looking like while I'm on the hunt for the perfect job, I will be spending some time with the trendy kids working at Anthropologie. Partially to keep me off my butt for a few weeks, but mainly to get the discount that will help to buy (quite possibly) the most amazing wardrobe for my first real job. :) This also means I'll get to spend time with my dear friend, Rachel, who I miss dearly. While on topic of good friends, Lang Thomas Leichhardt is an amazing one. If you don't know this boy, you need to hunt him down and beg of him to invest in your life. He's a true gem and I would not have survived the past few weeks without his ever-strong support.
Also, you need to meet my beau, because he's... just wonderful. :)
Gosh, friends.. I feel like hugging anyone who's reading this just to prove to you the level of happiness inside of me right now. I walk in my cap and gown on Saturday, and then after that, I have zero plans. How freeing! Wish we all could go out and celebrate.
I can't remember if I mentioned her to you, but you should check out a girl by the name of Brooke Fraser-- her music is beautiful. I've also been listening to lots of Pinback, Sigur Ros, and Low. The ever changing soundtrack.
Hope all is well. I'll be around.
