| So, I know that this is a little late, but I GOT ENGAGED ON SATURDAY!!!!!!!!! Things have been so crazy since then. Ok, here is my story. We were planning on going on a date this past Saturday (the 3rd) and because Paul has had mono, we were going to make it early so that he could get in bed at a decent time. We went to a move at 2 (Walk the Line....quite good) and then went to dinner. We then went to Wal-Mart to do this thing that we did last year that he and his family do every year. Basically we each have $5 to spend on each other and 30 minutes. The goal is to get things that are thoughtful and come closest to $5. After we had gotten our gifts we went to exchange them. The plan was to go to Starbucks, but at the last minute he said he had a new idea and that it would be more romantic. We ended up at Civic Plaza off the square, where we had our first kiss and he gave me my other ring. We ended up going to "our bench" and I went first. Then he gave me three things and I thought he was done but he said "One more thing." He took out a letter he had written me from his jacket pocket and read it to me. It was beautiful and the last line was "I can't imagine my life with out you." Then he handed me the letter and got down on his knees and asked me. I said yes (of course) and then he told me that we weren't going home early and that he had planned an engagement party. It was a wonderful suprise. My family came and his family came from Chicago and my two best friends from Georgia came, as well and friends from here. It really was perfect and I am so happy. We think the date is June 10, but we will see!!!! | | |
| This week is finally over.....just 2 more days then Thanksgiving Holiday!!! Basically, I have had a ton of school work...a test, paper, or presentation every other day. On top of that I have been planning my parents 25th Wedding Anniversary party (which was finally today). Also, I have a friend who is having a lot of problems and has been crying everyday and I have had to do a lot for work here lately and my boyfriend has mono and my brother's car broke down and I have been driving on a donut for 2-3 weeks and will have to keep driving on a donut til I hopefully get tires for a Christmas present. I don't mean to complain, because I am doing alright, I just have been really busy. I feel like I am just going from one thing to another. I don't just have any time to stop. I will probably have a breakdown on Wednesday when I finally have nothing to do. I have a test tomorrow and online homework due tonight and a paper due on Tuesday. Then I will sleep for a day and have two Thanksgiving meals and get to spend time with my family. I just keep reminding myself....one more semester!!!!!!!! | | |
| Well, it's official. My boyfriend has mono. Luckily I have had it before, but he is very pitiful. And of course, since he lives with boys, they will ask me how he is doing but do they volunteer to fix him food? Do they ask HIM if he needs anything? Of course the answer is no. It sucks that it is the holiday season because he won't be the same. The good thing is that I get to drive his car a lot, and as you all, this is an improvement from mine (which is one he gave me for free, so I can't complain). This is my other thought for the day. If being in school stresses me out slightly because of all of the school work plus the DO events plus the events for church, then what in the world am I going to do when I am married and have a full time job. Maybe the good thing is that I won't be pulled in different directions because hopefully they will all have the same focus? Probably not. I am just thinking this way because I am about to register for my last semester in school, which is an amazement in itself. This kind of rambles........ | | |
| So it has been a little bit of a rough week. First of all, I have had 4 tests this week. Studying as completely taken up any of my free time. The minute I finished one test, I had to start studying for the next test. I had one on Tuesday, one on Wednesday, and two on Thursday. Secondly, I had to do the MT poll on Tuesday (in the middle of my tests). This was an interesting night. For 4 hours I had to sit at a desk with a computer and call people and ask them to do this survey. Lots of people did not answer, some just hung up, and I actually got to do 4 interviews. It was draining to say the least. I had to take 3 or four breaks. Also, my car has not been working and I finally got it fixed Wednesday. I was so excited about doing stupid things like errands. But here is the kicker for the week: yesterday I was driving home from taking my sick boyfriend some medicine and low and behold MY TIRE POPPED!! Yes, I now have a flat tire. This is not any old flat tire though. You see, my car is very old and the lug nuts (I hope that is the right terminology) are rusted onto the wheel. My brother and my sick boyfriend came out to change it last night at about 12:30 in the morning and in order to unscrew just 4 of the lug nuts, Bryan (brother) had to stand on one side of the wrench thing and pull on the other. Two are so rusted that they are not two perfect little circles and the wrench thing (I am sorry, I don't know tools) is not pretty stripped. I now have to try to screw the things back on, take it to a tire place, see if they can knock the bolts off and try to patch the tire. I already had to borrow money from my dad in the first place just to get groceries and get my car fixed and pay bills this month and I do not have the money for two new tires. He doesn't have any more money to give me because he started his own business a few years ago and is living from paycheck to paycheck. Well, I do not mean to complain, I just needed to vent a little bit. Of course, this stuff always happens to me and when it rains, it pours. | | |
| This is a warning....this might be a bit personal for the guys so continue with caution. So, I have Pilates at 8 in the morning on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so normally I go to school in the clothes for Pilates and I pack the clothes that I am going to wear for the day and change into them after class. Today was the same as any other day. I packed a black cami and a little pink cardigan to wear with jeans and heals. After class I went to change and found out that I FORGOT TO BRING A BRA. This posed a great problem because I am supposed to be on campus all day til 9 and my car isn't working so I am screwed. This started me thinking. I never realized how important the bra really is in society today. One little item (well I guess the little depends on the person) can completely throw a person off. And on top of that, it is something that is not even seen. Most of the time (at least hopefully) a bra goes under our clothes and is hidden to the world. I never realized how much it defined me. When I put on my cami to see if I could rock it braless today, I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked flat chested. This greatly upset me and made me feel insecure. Some people may not relate to this. They may go braless all of the time. They may rebel against the confines of society and bask in the freedom that comes from going with out. I, on the other hand, am not of that kind. I like a bra. I like feeling supported and protected. Maybe that's just me. Who knows. | | |
