friends, trips, and phones

well, since last post, luis and bethany got married. the wedding was amazing, exactly how they wanted it i'm sure. through this wedding i've met some really great people. it's funny how circumstances that can seem indifferent can turn out to be more than what you could have hoped for. 

we leave for mexico on saturday! this is the very first trip i have ever taken (out of texas) without any friends or family. funny, because the one person going with me is now both a friend, and family :) it is going to be a wonderful experience and i cannot wait to wake up and be feet away from the beach, frozen beverage in hand. it will be a great getaway.

once i return, i've been thinking of a new purchase. my sidekick is about to just stop working, i can feel it. he likes to turn off in my pocket without restarting. or lose service mid text message. or rip a hole in the pocket of my jeans. all in all, its time for an upgrade. i can't decide on what to get...there's the white G1:

or the cell phone tyrant, the iphone:

i know that both can handle my mindless internet endeavors, as well as the standard texting and phone calls. i just don't know which will suit me best. either way, its a 100% improvement over what i'm dealing with now.
