a boycott on capital letters

dearest darling jenny,

i have decided that hence forth (if i'm using the correct terminology there) i will no longer use capital letters. i just sincerely view them to be a little too restrictive and too grammatically correct. i feel that by writing in only lower case letters i am somehow allowed to throw grammar to the wind and use commas, periods, and exclamation points at my leisure without fear of feeling stupid or making my english teachers cry themselves to sleep.

that being said; in response to your post: !, i looked up the definition of nomad on dictionary.com (which btw is the end all be all of definitions online other than urbandictionary.com which makes me giggle).

nomad (noun) - a member of a people or tribe that has no permanent abode but moves about from place to place, usually seasonally and often following a traditional route or circuit according to the state of the pasturage or food supply.

now, i didn't need to look up the definition of a nomad to understand what you were saying; i know what a nomad is. i was just interested to see how it was defined in exact words. and, (b/c i'm writing in lower case letters, you see, i can start a sentence with the word and. take that mrs. brennan) as i realize you are not interested in the life of a nomad to follow some sort of food supply; i do think this idea is an intriguing one.

i admire that you have moved around a bit. not to say that i haven't, hence me living in wisconsin; but i don't think i would ever have the guts to move somewhere where i don't know anyone. i didn't even go far away for college, and even though i was 30 minutes away - i still made it home ALMOST everyday to enjoy some of mare and hare's home cookin'. i think that you are at a point in your life where if nothing is holding you to a particular place then you should take advantage of your interest in traveling. i think you would definitely meet a lot of cool people and see a lot of fun places and hopefully have enough pictures to make the ladies at the scrapbooking store squeal with delight. that being said; i think you adapt well to where ever you are. when you were in college you were happy there, and when you came home to stl it might've taken you a few days to adapt, but then you were happy there.

okay, enough of that for now. to answer your question about our new investment - i'm actually not sure when we're moving in exactly. we are having the inspection on the house this saturday and we close on february 27th. we actually are still in our lease at the apartment until the end of april unless they can rent it early - so we have a bit of time to fix up the house before we move in. we are most definitely having a 4th of july party i think (so i guess i shouldn't have said 'most definitely' there). i am excited/freaked out/scared/happy/freaked out/excited all in one big lump. it is definitely something to be excited about - but sometimes when i see all my friends out partying it up and having fun and living their life without attachment, i'm not going to lie when i say i don't get maybe a little jealous - but i think that is something that comes and goes. onward!

so my question for you is this; with you being the moh in your sisters wedding - do you have any fun plans for her in store?

yours in christ,

laura
