I'm getting married...

Well, I just went out with some of my friends in the city and two of them figured out that in our contract it states that if we are to get married during the time of our contract we have an additional week off...so one of my friend's and I decided we would just seal the deal. He couldn't get under the table to propose but I still accept.

I have realized that I am currently experiencing the kind of celebrity status that Britney Spears does after a concert while I am at school. Anytime I walk down the hall the girls will flock towards me, say hello and bow, and then run away screaming and giggling. It's so funny. For the past two days I have shown them pictures of my family, friends, Seattle, Tucson, and my PLU volleyball girls and all they want to know about are "my celebrity volleyball players." I let them loose today in class and just gave them the chance to drill me with questions hoping that it would kind of get it out of their system and these are the questions I got:
"Do you have a boyfriend and when are you going to get married?"
"What is your blood type?"
"Why do foreigners have big noses?"
"Have you ever had plastic surgery?"
There were a couple of others where I just stood there for what seemed like 20 minutes and tried to figure out how I was going to respond.

Also, I have pictures! I'm only going to show you a few but here's a couple that will show you what life is like over here...



So, this would be the octopus that I semi-attempted to eat. I know you can see the veins in my eyes (it was a long day) and my chipped tooth is quite visible (compliments of Anella Olbertz...even though she'll deny it) but I still feel like I'm almost more brave than Bear Grylls.



I pretty much live smack in the middle of this University. I don't have any pictures of my place uploaded yet but they will be coming once I make it look presentable:)




This is the street I live on...I couldn't pronounce it if I tried.



This is a picture I took as I was walking into the city the other day...every single one of those buildings is an apartment...crazy huh?
Thanks for following! I love reading your comments:) More pictures to come soon!

Smash.

  3. Getting Married!!!! That means that Jeff wins the bet! Are you going to Parkland for the honeymoon? ha ha ha Don't blame you on the octopus, I can barely handle calamari when it is breaded and deep fried to disguise it. Costco will be your saving grace. Love the pics. Post a whole lot more when you can.
