CanDance tagged me...so here I go.
7 Things you may not know about me.
1. I'm completely OCD when it comes to putting lotion on my feet. I can't put my feet under the covers of my bed unless I put lotion on right before hand.
2. I've been working on a cross-stitch for my dad for over 2 years. If I keep going at the rate I am this moment - it will be done for Christmas.
3. Monkey is my favorite animal - I sleep with one every night.
4. I can't imagine doing any other job but ministry - it is my life, my calling, my passion
5. I've been keeping a journal since I was 15 with the intent to give it to my daughter when she is 15...I guess that's assuming I have a daughter.
6. I'm addicted to TV on DVD...it makes me happier than buying a movie
7. I am directing TBA Chi-Rho Midwinter in Jan/Feb...woo!
Eh - I'd tag people, but no one would do it...so if you want to, do it. =o)

Hm... Meeting the parents?
Kind of exciting idea/prospect.
Aaron just invited me up to Missouri for a couple days at Christmas... his parents would pay for my ticket. Kinda freaks me out, but makes me excited at the same time. I dunno...I'm just saying.
Guess its moving along.
I'm still extremely happy.
This week he is at home, and I miss him. I've gotten so used to seeing him a lot, and its weird to not see him for a whole week.
Anyway - that's my life. Guess the next step is for him to meet my parents. Guess it makes sense for him to meet mine before I meet his - if only because mine live here...and his are in another state. Haha.
I don't do cold well - Missouri in winter = COLD...but it'll be worth it if we can get dates to work out. =o)

I awoke with a start. There was a loud ripping noise outside my door and the pounding of feet running down stairs. My heart rate accelerated greatly. This was it. After almost a month of trying, the time had finally come. I hear the feet come back up the stairs and a beating noise happen that causes the awful ripping noise to finally stop. It's over.
"Did you get it?" I yell.
"That wasn't a mouse...it was an 8 in rat!"
a full body shudder took over me. I have been living with a rat for over a month.
Our landlord has not been doing anything, until I finally told her we had to try something else besides poison because the 'mouse' had eaten through my shoe last night. Guess that should have been a clue that it wasn't a mouse. Anyway. She brings by two heavy duty crazy strong sticky traps. Jeff sets up the line of defense just inside the door the thing was always going into.
The boys are laughing and excited. Anne and I are completely grossed out and tell Jeff he has to stay in case we catch the mouse because we don't want to deal with it.
Thank God he stayed. Anne couldn't look at the rat, although she did see it. I couldn't even open my door until I knew that it was gone from the house. SO GROSS. All of this happened at 6:40 this morning. What a wake up call.
Hopefully, there was only one. Guess we'll find out. We put out the second sticky trap, I just hope we don't have to deal with another one...that ONE was scary enough.
Now, I have to finish a paper, and Anne and I have decided to clean our entire house cleaner than it ever has been before. Every inch of this house will be cleaned. We are getting new rugs for the upstairs...because...ewwww....
NASTY!

So...I guess I'm dating someone.
Haha. I love that I say it as "guess". I say it that way because its been all of 2 weeks... and we definitely haven't come close to trying to define it yet. So...more details I suppose as/if it becomes more concrete (which, its looking that way).
Anyway - I'm happy...and I feel smiley a lot. That's good.
Em is coming into town next week!! I'm so flippin excited! Its out of the blue and makes me super happy. We're going to go see HSM3, because we are that awesome.
I need to buy my tickets to see Twilight at midnight. Guess I should get on that in the next couple of days.
Hm...I had a lot more to update on, but I just looked at the time, and I have an 8am class...so, I should head to bed now so I'm not a complete grouch in the morning!
Retreat this weekend - I'm SO ready.
