Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

Well, folks... it's official. I hate job hunting. As a college student who has yet to graduate, (and, let's be honest, it's gonna be a while yet) I've found that it is EXTREMELY difficult, actually... next to IMPOSSIBLE to find a job in the professional world. No one wants you. You don't have a degree or enough experience. I'm doomed to wait tables! AND all the temp places in Dallas are hidden. I swear I've looked for like, five of them and they just disappear, or the city looses me. lol... well, okay, so the getting lost thing is mostly my fault thanks to my retardedness, but that's another story. At any rate, after all of that, I'm still unemployed in Dallas. lol... that sounds like the anonymous names that they give to people who call into radio talk shows or send questions into newspaper advice columns... like in Sleepless in Seattle. Only in my case there will be no happy love story to go along with it. Anyway, other than the fact that Dallas has no place for me within it's workforce, I'm doing well. I've begun attending the singles ward here, and working my way into THAT scene. It's weird. There is DEFINITELY a huge difference between a singles ward and a STUDENT ward. Number one, the ward isn't overrun with 18 year old mormon bimbos, fresh out of the nest. It's nice, really. But at the same time... unnerving. I'm not used to it yet. Then again, I've only been one Sunday. I have, however, managed to work my way into the good graces of a household of guys. One of them owns the house, and the others pay him rent. It's a pretty sweet deal for all of them. And... here's the hott part. It's got a 62 inch big screen tv with a surround sound system (don't worry Art, it still doesn't rival your system... or your setup :-D )a hot tub AND a pool. I haven't done the pool or tub thing, but I've definitely enjoyed some Mario Kart on that ho. Other than that, I don't think that there's really much going on. I just chill with the Allens when there's nothing else to do, and I love that, so I really can't complain... just that the unemployment thing sucks cuz I don't have money. I don't mind not working. I just need cash. Here's to hopin that 'prayer' thing I keep hearing about actually works. :) oh, and p.s.... Beth and Heath... thanks for the little notes! I'm sorry I'm so bad about updating!

THE LOVE

I can't express how much fun I'm having! I love all the little girls, the Allen boys are definite faves, and Mama and Papa Allen are awesome. Paul is HOT, as Hannah always said he was, and this time, when I went to his house I actually got to talk to him instead of just standing in his living room for five seconds. (And Ben is definitely a favorite.. such a funny man) The Wedding was crazy, stressful, and beautifully fun all at the same time, and the good times are rollin'! lol.. in short, Dallas is everything.. just fabulous! Oh, and as a side note.. I'm slightly bitter... EVERYONE (and I do mean everyone) got a piece the night of the wedding EXCEPT ME...Hannah, Zachy, Bisa, Esther(the ultimate piece :-D), and even Jacob got a kiss. Joseph and I comforted each other in our lack of piece-ness. lol... *sigh* (ps.. yes, I did get to talk to him on Mother's day, and I forgot how much he's such a fave. He's doing really well. Oh, and Keiks, he definitely did ask about you ;)lol.. gotta love those Allen boys) OH YEAH. I met THE sister-in-law... and... she was.... yeah. anyway! Hannah and I haven't begun working yet because of the wedding, but we're going in tomorrow. Soooo I'll keep you all updated on that front. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the summer!!! I'm going to make a list of all of the things that I want to do, and I'm gonna get them all done before I come home!

I cannot express how surreal all of this really is.. I'm here in Dallas. I forgot how much I really do love this state. I'll expound on everything later, because I have to go.. we're on our way out the door. I just wanted to let all of you know that I arrived safely.
