Obsessions!!

I'm obsessed! This should come as a surprise to none of you. I'm the passionate type...and we tend to get a little psycho. Last night (er, let me rephrase that as today 5 minutes before class) was the ultimate manifestation of my obesession with procrastination. This is an obesession that I hate to indulge... but I inevitably do.

I'm also obesessed with traveling. Not a week goes by where I don't wish I "were somewhere." Lately I've been obsessed with trying to get me and Marc to go to Europe . Then I think, since we now have a relative (Marc's Aunt Shelly) in Durban, South Africa... well, you *know* how I LOVE Africa! I just can't stay away... no matter how much it costs, how I feel when I'm there, or how I think I'm over it when I'm back. The dream is always to travel back and visit our missions as well. We'd love to go to Honduras after they build the temple there and then I'd love to go back and visit the isles of the Indian Ocean: Madagascar, Mauritius, and Reunion. And the list of places I'd love to visit is never-ending. I hope that these traveling obesessions can someday be a reality! That's why I hope they call me on a mission... and another mission... and another mission... :)

I'm also obsessed with being warm. Anything below 78 degrees seems unbearable. I'm currently wrapped in a robe with my little space heater pointed directly at my legs. This is a daily ritual that spans the months of September through June. I'm always cold. After 3 hours of church on Sunday I'm a human ice block, wimpering as I come home. 4 years of undergrad in the windy city of Boston has also permanently caved in my shoulders as I huddled to maintain feeling in my extremities. I like it hot!

Lastly, I'm surprised that my obsession with weddings hasn't popped up here yet. Well, I'm not really surprised. I've worked very hard to restrain myself from posting... well, posting myself! (And you though Christy was vain... ;)) In my wedding dress! I LOVE weddings. Not only my own, mind you (although, it *is* and obsession and I do look at my wedding pics about once a month and *still* love it!), but everyones! And today I would like to announce how happy I am for Brandon Illguth! My old missionary brotha'! He's getting married- just got the announcement today. Congrats! So happy for him and for her! Wonderful news isn't it? And now... because I can no longer restrain myself... Are we not the most beautiful couple in the world??
