there is a lot of stuff here, but not even half of what I came here thinking I needed to write

The state of North Dakota didn't float away over night. I'm still here typing away.

Part of my Taco Bell fell apart though. I wonder if we are going to have to close down and have our building rebuilt. That would suck for all of our employees, and the employees of the other Taco Bell because we would all probably have to share the hours at the one store. Crap that would stink.

I got my birthday card and pictures from Nathan today. The card is in spanish so I don't really understand what it says. Something about my birthday. But it has Donald Duck on the outside of the card and on the inside of the card it shows Donald kissing Daisy on the cheek. I think it is perfect. And I don't really care that I don't understand what it says on the card.

The pictures he sent are beautiful. There are a couple of some waterfalls, then some of the pyramid of the sun. And of course the pictures with Nathan in them, he looks so hot. They made me miss him lots and the pictures of the waterfalls and the pyramids made me wish I were there with him so I could see all the stuff he is seeing.

But I am stuck here in boring North Dakota, working at Taco Bell, while he is out experiencing part of the world. He isn't down there just having fun. He is down there on his mission (no his isn't in the armed forces, everyone in North Dakota asks me that when I say he is on a mission,) it is his mission for the mormon church.

Then every one has to ask me if I am mormon (no I am not,) and how that works because isn't that illegal and stuff. It isn't illegal, but they don't really approve of it. If Nathan wanted to get married in a Temple like most of his family wants him to I would have to convert or he would have to marry someone else.

I worry about that a little bit but not that much, we haven't ever really seriously talked about that and when I told him that I worried about it he told me that things have a way of working themselves out and that I shouldn't worry so much.

So I will have to see how things work out when we finally get to see each other again in December 2003.

I'm distracted now and lost my train of thought (I think it might have headed up to Canada with the train that headed up that way a little bit ago.) I'm glad the train tracks are just far enough away that once I am asleep I can't hear them anymore. I hear them when I am awake, but not when I am asleep.
