Oh man, it was so great to hear from some of you about what your lives are like right now! Kara I'm so impressed about how your attitude is still up despite your brother not being in the band, and I hope things turn out great. I'm sure they will. How are things now? Emily, I feel like I had an actual substantial conversation with someone just from reading your post. I loved hearing how you are thinking and what changes have happened in that mind of yours. I'd love to hear more.
Well I guess I should tell "ya'll" what I'm up to here in the "Land of Enchantment" aka New Mexico. I'M PLANNING A STINKEN WEDDING! I don't think there's much more explanation needed. Man this stuff is harder than it looks. I don't know, do I want a cake topper with a "K" on top or just fresh flowers? Well then what kind of flowers do I want? Holy cow the list can go on. If you're an indecisive person, do yourself a favor and don't ever get married. Elope. Seriously. Anyhow, we just got all of our wedding invitations out a few days ago (hurray!!!!!) - about 315 at the moment. We got them printed in Ecuador, Will designed them and they're so sweet. I'll try and get a picture up soon. Oh yeah Ecuador. It was great! The jungle tour was amazing, four days just chillen in the jungle, getting bit, gliding down quiet brown waters in canoes, eating plants (seriously, one of them made our tongues feel like they had thousands of tiny needles pricking them, which apparently the Quechua natives eat to kill hunger. Don't see much of a future market for that in America..). The rest of the time was really sweet too, we took a salsa lesson one night in downtown Quito, went to some hot springs (where I got massively burnt because I guess the sun's a little closer at 11,000 feet), went to "Mitad del Mundo", the equator (not Ecuador) line, although they measured it before the invention of GPS, so the huge monument is about 100 yards off the "true" line. Well, what can ya do. They had these big signs like "N" for north, etc, and so Will and I had the BRILLIANT idea of me taking a picture next to the "S" and him taking a picture next to the "W"est, only to walk over and realize that Spanish cleverly named west "oeste", so there was a huge "O", which didn't help us much :) I'm sure you all really wanted to hear that story!
So now I'm on my way out to California (SoCal!) for two or three weeks to get my groove on! Ok, not really, actually Will and I will be looking for a place to live in August and a job for him. And he's working for the boss he had last year for some of the time. What a crazy experience, being engaged and thinking about all of these things that one has in life suddenly sharing them with another person. I'll keep ya'll updated on how things progress :) Anyhow, those in the SoCal region: WE SHOULD HANG OUT! I'm in need of some serious falafel. Speaking of which, I helped my sister drive out to Florida last week, and so I went to a Middle Eastern Cafe for some falafel and babaganoug, and it cost me like 8 bucks!! I was kinda pissed, but the guys was Lebanese and we had a great convo (not in Arabic, sorry Christina).
I love you all mucho, and it warmed my heart to hear "mumkin shwaya" being put to some good use.
Anyone else watch the Democratic Debates last night? Richardson definitely does not have my vote (even though he's my governor) as the "first thing he would do in office in the first 100 days" would be the work on the education system here. Foreign affairs has my current attention.
