A day of dreaming. And boys.

The other night I did some laps around the grass. Slowly. Balancing. Thinking. thinking about summer, jobs, school, italy, future, majors, minors, MAJORS, running.....................you don't need to know everything. :)

It is so frustrating not being able choose a major, let alone "declare" one. Here's what I've been tossing around as possibilities: athletic training, elementary education, italian[minor], music[minor], nursing[a recent development that becomes more of a possibility every day], sfl[family life sciences, seriously, i think i would love it].

If I could, I would just major in all of them! There's so much knowledge out there that I crave to have! And I want all of it NOW! :) If I could afford it, I would stay in Provo spring and summer. Maybe if I did that every year for like 6+ years, I could major in all the above!!!! But, they don't allow that. Darn. And, I can't afford that. Sad story. By the end of next semester I'll basically be done with all my generals...and I hope by then I'll have some sort of direction as to which major map to take. 

i DO know that I want to study abroad in Italy next spring. [they, the international studies department, have not yet posted a spring 2010 application, so i can't yet say that I am, for sure, going...]

i Do know that my wildest dream is being on broadway.

i DO know that i want to run a half marathon in September.

i DO know that i want to compete in a triathlon.

i DO know that I want to be a mother. 

i DO know that I want a family. A loving husband, cute kiddos, and an awesome old house to call my own [with a ridiculously awesome back yard. I'd rather have a lot of land for a volleyball/basketball/tennis court, a pool, trees, a tree house, a garden, space to run, and a little house. seriously, a big house does not appeal to me at all...[i'll add that to my 'how you're more like your mom than you ever thought' list])

i DO know that I know more than this, but I'm already tired of writing it all out. :)

Moving on...

For all my talk of wanting a family, I'm pretty far away from that happening anytime soon.

I present the men in my life: 

The only kisses I have had, and am likely to have, for a while. :)

(Brutus, Buddy, Harley)

Brutus is my best bud now. He's my running partner (poor Buddy is too old and can't keep up, and Harley is fat and slow, ha) and he literally jumps like crazy for joy whenever I'm in the backyard with him, especially when he knows we're going for a run. He's a good dog, willing to do whatever you ask him, and III just lov'im. I wish I could take him to school with me, Dad said I could! Too bad my apartment says I can't. :(
