jealousy & all that...

so the husband is in austin at this moment... finding us a place to live.

i've requested pictures at every juncture of his travels throughout the city... so i can live vicariously through them as i sit, confined to this desk of clerical drone-ism. dramatic? na...

it's a cloudy day in the wonderful, exciting, and weird city of austin. with humidity in upwards of about 90%. doesn't seem to bother jake much. he says that it isn't miserable as long as there's a slight breeze. so there's that. we won't have to worry about getting the ever present bloody noses of desert living. hooray for that!

i'm actually quite excited for our little texas adventure. it's an expensive little adventure (as in, we could probably move to europe on this same budget.. plane ticket included), but it's the right choice for us. who knows where we'll be in a year from now. probably in the military. so WHY NOT take off and enjoy life austin stylee for a little whiley?

anyways, all of that out there, i am feeling broad pangs of jealousy for the spouse's mini vaca without the wife. i know he misses me soooooooo muuuuuuuch.. he's got to, right? but i truly wish i were there with him. taking tours of possible future condo-homes.. having the first look at our new city.. having lunch at the south austin trailer park and eatery.. sounds delightful. soon, though. oh so soon. we'll be unpacking and nestling into our new place about three weeks from now.

so i guess i can survive until then. oh and i should probably insert somewhere in here that i do actually MISS my husband.. we've never quite been this far away from eachother before. when i got home from work yesterday, i found a note that he had left me. it went something like this:

going to miss you, sweetie.
i'll be thinking of you...
do some independent stuff and listen to all the music that i don't like.
love you lots,
jake

sweet, hey? ha ha. i never knew i had music he didn't like.. maybe i should run out and buy a lady gaga cd for just such an occasion.

cheers! xo lauren

ps. i started a tumblr account.. just to add one more thing to my pile of time consuming social medias. i sorta like that i can just have a random 'i feel like saying this today and posting this picture.. or i like this picture that i found while searching tumblr.. save for future use' outlet. link to it on the right side of this bloggity.
