Not in any particular order, except the order that comes to mind first.
1. As mentioned per twitter, the poet and I broke up.
2. As not mentioned per twitter, the poet and I got back together the next day.
3. Per items #1-2, I am a chump and an emotionally challenged individual.
4. I thought item #3 was going to be an update, but then I realized there wasn't anything new about it.
5. I'm in Utah for a month, hanging out with the family and enjoying the unseasonably cool weather. Dallas was 104 degrees the other day, so I'm feeling really good about my decision to be here instead of there. Although I hear that July will be much worse, which is precisely when I'll roll back into town.
6. Danielle and Michael got married a few days after I got into town. I got to help put everything together for their reception, and everything turned out wonderfully I think. It was the first wedding I've ever really done anything for, and I appreciated being a part of it.
7. Emiley is getting married next Saturday, so I'm throwing her a bridal shower this Saturday. I haven't been this excited about a project in quite some time, I must say.
8. All these people getting married have made me feel like everyone gets married all the time and not being married is the weird thing to do. I expect my group of friends is behind the times in this regard and, therefore, I'm behind them as well.
9. I went over to Kristine and Jordan's last night. They just had a baby boy named Owen, and it was all I could do but alternately stare at Kristine and then the kid and say: You have a child. My amazement is threefold: 1) People get married. 2) People get married and have children. 3) People get married and have children and those children are human beings of their own accord. Mind. blowing.
10. The poet left yesterday after coming to visit me for a few days. We were together a total of four-ish days, and I didn't want to punch him once for being annoying. Not sure anyone else in history has lasted that long with me.
11. The poet knows about the blog now, so at some point I'm going to have to let him read it. I'm not excited about this. Even B-o-b never knew about the blog, and I had zero qualms about that.
12. Brooke and I talked on the phone the other day for the first time since she's been home from her mission. We discussed our wish to go back to the good 'ol days of college when she, Emiley and I lived together and needed nothing more in the whole world. We felt mutual disappointment that it wasn't possible.
13. I still don't know if I have a job next fall. However, no one has told me that I don't, so maybe that's a good sign? (It's pretty awesome when your financial future relies on the two previous sentences.)
14. Everyone who has seen me since I've been here has commented on the fact that I'm not really chubby like I've continuously said I am here on the blog. To that I say: I don't know how accurate that is.
15. Michelle and I are making the rounds at the Lord of the Rings extended versions they're showing again in theaters. Tonight will feature 3 hours and 55 minutes of The Two Towers, which previously was my favorite, but which I might loathe after that long in a movie theater. Toss up.
16. Being in Utah for a whole month means I get to see my favorite people like Tara, Ashley, Lani, M.C., Krystal, Kristine, etc. etc. and I couldn't be happier about it.

I can't believe I got a shoutout! So excited for our quilting escapade tomorrow night. I even called Nate on his lunch break to tell him about it.
Thank you for the update! I was just wondering as I started reading this post if Brooke was back from her mission and if it had been long enough. Which is kind of random. Also random is that you addressed it in the post.
One of the reasons I knew I liked Tim was because I could spend large amounts of time with him without getting annoyed. Haha! I'm glad this proved to be the case with the poet.
Uh oh...he knows about the blog...quick! hide everything! :-p
