Moving back, Awkward Wedding Moments

all things considered, i decided to move back to austin. my parents need me and i have no job and no money, so that's that. plus, if i do decide to really pursue grad school, it would probably be here anyway.

yup, that's that. i will really miss all my friends in dallas, but good times don't last forever. things change, and then you can have good times in new places and with new people, creating new memories. yup. i don't really have anything more to say than that...i'll save crying for when i'm bidding people goodbye.

on another note, erica's wedding was nice. it was not too big or too complicated (or at least it did not appear to be), but i know there was still tons of planning involved, and erica did a lot of it herself. congrats to her and quinn! now the real work begins. oooooh yeah. marriage is tough stuff, to say the least.

and of course there was the expected "sooooooo joanne, when are YOU getting married?" from all the thoughtful aunties. i enjoyed the mixed reactions when i smiled and replied with a prompt "Never" and went about my business. scold me if you wish, but i figured that it was a better response than something like this:

auntie: so joanne, when are YOU getting married/so joanne, you're next, huh??
me: haha yeah actually i don't have a boyfriend, so that won't be happening in...a long time.
auntie: oh joanne, why not?
me: well....... (*insert something self-deprecating*)
auntie: (*awkward*)

or something like...

auntie: so joanne, when are YOU getting married?
me: actually, i always thought that i might never get married because...
auntie: oh no no, but you are such a nice girl. you just haven't met the right person yet.
me: uh..... (*insert a mean generalization about men*)
auntie: (*awkward*)

or something like....

auntie: so joanne, when are YOU getting married?
me: aren't i a little young to be...?
auntie: oh no no, you really are not that young.
me: (*awkward*)

yup.......

Joanne gets lots of dates.
(*awkward*)

have a safe move back to Austin~ it's always a tough decision to leave everything behind, but you have the right idea. there will always be new friends and new pleasant things to look forward to. at the very least you'll have places to stay if you ever go back to dallas to visit or whatever.

haha, witty reply to your aunts~ yea things will happen when they'll happen. but it's also a given that family will always poke and prod about that stuff. luckily my parents have backed down on that for a while now. o.O i'll have to think of some witty reply as well~ never hurts to be prepared. lol. take it easy, J

Love the scenarios! Just wait until it's "Hmm, I wonder if we should give this old high chair to Goodwill, or save it for our future GRANDCHILDREN?" Especially awkward when they skip the marriage nagging completely and jump to that...when you're sixteen. *sigh* Been thinking about you and your family, hope everything is going okay! <3

LOL, I go through that EVERY summer/winter when I visit Taiwan.
We better get use to it and hope someone will be smart enough to start lookin'

yeah well, i'm not looking and i'm not asking people to look anyways. besides, mommy and a lot of the aunties told me that they don't really know of anyone, so i'm left to my own devices anyway. grandchildren, LOL. way to jump the gun!
