Mmm, fondue!

[judecorp]

My temp was up a little bit this morning, so that's good. If it keeps going up into the 98s (it was 97.91) I'll have my confirmed O and will be quite happy. But I'm pretty confident it happened yesterday anyway - that's what the trigger shot is for.

I can talk about other things, I swear. No, really.

Jen and I went to Coworker Gina's house last night where she made us cheese fondue and chocolate fondue. I feel bad because Gina is /always/ feeding us. We have promised her dinner a million times and have never come through. So we really need to get on that. I do like eating her food, though. :)

I have an appointment for a haircut at 1:00 with the Dark Overlord. I think I want to jazz up my hair a little bit, make it a little more punk rock. Okay, not really, but I need /something/. Maybe. I'm starting to realize that I'm quite boring in my old age.

'stina got into WNEC for law school (go 'stina go!) and I'm all dizzy with the possibility that she and Jenny could be moving to Western Mass, too. Oh my gosh, that would be the awesomest thing ever - we'd have Jessica, 'stina and Jenny, Lisa, j and Jen, another Jen, and all of Jessica's groovy friends. Major good times in homo-ownership. We should all just live on one enormous farm! Viva la cooperative living!

I let Jen sleep in majorly this morning and I kind of wish I hadn't, because she ended up kind of oversleepy and we didn't get as much smooch time. Aah well, there's always tonight/tomorrow! This babymaking junk has been really good for our relationship. I wish I'd convinced her YEARS ago!

Jen took the weekend after that off for our anniversary, so I doubt she can get that weekend off, too. And I'm pretty sure there's a "Welcome Home" party on May 6th for a friend of ours who has spent the last ~16 months in Japan. Can't miss that.

Bummer.:(

We can do something another night if you want to go to Pride! I'll be back for a long time!!

How could we miss your "WELCOME BACK" party? We've been waiting for you to come home for AGES!!

Lots of luck with the babymaking. =) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for y'all. It's also very, very good to hear that it's been good for you both, as a couple.

Jenny and I have been talking a bit about what we're going to do in regards to our future plans. My sweet, practical Jenny is thinking about how we'd manage to make it all happen, if we decided to do that. She knows nearly NO ONE in Mass. Neither of us have jobs. The scholarship overs all but 8,000 a year, but that's a big chunk of money. And I could only work 20 hours a week, according to ABA rules. It would take a tremendous amount of sacrifice, particularly from Jenny, and a lot of work to make it all happen.

But I, too, am absolutely dizzy with all the wonderful opportunities it would open up. We'd be in a state that would let us marry. I'd be on track for a career that I am passionate about. I've romanticized the ivy-covered buildings and tree-lined streets of the school. And I'm in love with the idea of a fresh start (but that's something that's always been true). We did joke about wonderful it would be to have so many like-minded couples around us. These are the things I'd had in mind when I applied to that school, to be honest.

For a bit, I'm savoring the possibilities and the beauty of that dream. Some other day I'll be a grown up and be practical. Sometimes you have to let yourself dream a little so that you can remember what makes you happy.

Hee. Go ahead and talk about babies all you want. It makes me feel not so bad that I talk about law school a lot. We all have a tendency to talk about what's most important to us at the moment. It's ok.

You're right, it would involve a lot of sacrifice - all new starts do - and not just for Jenny but for you as well. I know that she's spent a huge chunk of her life where she was /before/ Atlanta, and that was a big move and a big step. And this? Even bigger. I hope that no matter what happens, the two of you can make a decision that's acceptible to both of you. But please let her know that she won't be alone and we promise to be exceptionally nice. ;)

I'm sure it's exciting to have all of these options and opportunities; I remember the excitement of grad school acceptance and scholarships. It's nice to be wanted, no matter what, hunh? And I do know how you daydream about New England, not that Springfield is particularly picturesque.

I know that y'all will do what's best for y'all, and I'm okay with that. I'd just really like to have the two of you a little closer by is all - we're ready to settle our family and the more family we can settle in one spot, the better.

p.s. Thanks for the good vibes in the babymaking process. It's quite exciting (at least to us!) and I can't really shut up about it. I wish I could, especially when there are places (i.e. work) where it is certainly not common knowledge. Aieee!

yay for western mass! when are you coming??

i'd totally live on a farm, but i'd need to change my hours a bit.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

No idea when, really. We can't really buy anything until we get my dad's house sold (cha-ching!) anyway. I'm hoping we can head out that way in August/September... although I'm also applying for a job at Smith that would start somewhere in the summer (if I got it). So who knows?

[buddhafly4224.livejournal.com]

yeah, sounds pretty up in the air. well, let me know when you guys come out to visit/house hunt. we should totally get together in the w.m.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Word. I hope to come out there soon for a little visit. :)

[ladyoracle.livejournal.com]

Wow. I don't have the kind of friends who'd make cheese and chocolate fondue.

So jealous.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Come visit us anytime and we will make you cheese and chocolate fondue. I promise!
