I'm so ready for Spring Break.

Scratch that...

I'm so ready to graduate.

that is all.

So...I've really meant to do a better job about updating on my life - but life is so fun, that the updates just aren't happening. Haha.

So - Valentines Day was awesome - we ate at a cute little Italian Bistro (that I think we'll never eat at again - but that's a different story) - and ate ice cream - and then hung out with my parents? haha, yes. As we drove up to say hi to them, I told him that they were going to think that we were engaged - i was right - but nope, no ring yet. However...I did get a diamond necklace that I love love love!

I was blown away - I had NO idea he would be getting me something so nice. But I love it. =o)

On Friday we did a "date day." It was so much fun. We left Friday morning to drive over to Dallas for lunch and then headed to the Dallas World Aquarium! I love that place! It was so much fun!! I'd post pics here - but I'm putting them all on facebook - so you can see them there. But we had a blast. Aaron was like a 5 year old the whole time. It was fun seeing him so excited about everything! Of course, I was too...lets be honest. Then we were trying to decide what to do next - and we went over to the AAC to see if there were any Mavs tickets available last minute. Turns out that we could get seasts for $2 each! Who knew? So, we then went on a hunt to a sports store to find some cheap Mavs shirts. It was greatness. The game was fun - we were of course sitting in nosebleed, but the seats surprisingly weren't bad! It was such a good day. Let me tell you though, I was exhausted!!!

So, I guess that means things are good in Deb-land. I like it.

Apparently we have another rat...or maybe some other type animal in our house.

Em is in town and was staying the night with me. At 6am we both shoot up because of a terrible noise. I never saw it...but it was adventurous to say the least. Anyway - we called the landlord again and finally she sent someone to patch up all the holes and such. Well see how that works for us.

The people I babysit for are giving me Valentines Day off! Yay! They want me to spend my first Valentines with Aaron. They are sweet. I'm watching Evie tonight, and she cried for an hour and a half after they left before she passed out. Her parents said she's been like this for two days - they looked exhausted. They need the night off. Anyway- now I get to spend V-day with the boy - and his parents. Haha. should be good. We're going to go to Melting Pot next week to celebrate just us. Yay! =o)

No Day But Today!

So - I just found out that RENT live on Broadway is released on DVD tomorrow!!!

It just so happens that I got a lot of Birthday money over the weekend.

$20 of that will buy me this DVD and I will watch it over and over and over...

I'm done.

I'm so done with feeling like this.

I hate the negativity.

Why do I go to meetings, when they begin and end and every minute between is full of negative energy. WHAT IS THE POINT?!?

I don't know how to make it better, and I certainly don't trust everyone else in the group. That doesn't make the idea that things will get better seem any more likely.

guh.



On another note...

XP Midwinter - I thought it went pretty well. As did Anne and Jeff...among others. Were there some things that needed to change? Yes. Some things that didn't happen like I expected? Yes. But was it a BAD weekend? No.

Not sure how I feel about directing...perhaps it was just the circumstances I was handed...that is very much a possibility.

Ok -

I'm all about NOT ending on a negative note...so...for something positive....

Super Bowl/Chili bowl party at my parents last night was a lot of fun. Everyone in my family seemed to really like Aaron - so that is always good. =o) He certainly does make me happy. Plus, I got some great gifts! Woo!

Today has been a wonderful day!

I slept in late - skipping my 8am class as a birthday present to myself. =o)

Then, Anne surprised me with Starbucks and an AWESOME gift! It is a movie three pack with: Mean Girls, Clueless, and She's The Man! I'm so beyond excited!!

Aaron and I went to lunch. We went to Olive Garden - it was very yummy. He still has the flu a tiny bit, so the food was making him feel gross...which makes me sad. But, it was the first time he'd REALLY been able to eat all week, so we'll take what we can get. =o)

Then, I was working on a sermon for my preaching class. I have a problem turning in a sermon on paper...it always ends up coming across SO differently when it is actually preached instead of just read. Plus, I end up changing things while I'm up there depending on a number of factors. I know that Jeter knows this...but still, I don't like that I had to only turn in a hard copy of it.

Aaron and I went to dinner with my parents at Saltgrass! It was SOOOOOOOOO yummy!!! I got great gifts! I'm very excited about my 1000 thread count sheets from my sister!! They are in the wash right now so that I can put them on my bed tonight.

Now it is time to finish up my exegesis so I can turn that in before I go to bed.

Tomorrow I head to Athens where I am directing Chi-Rho Midwinter!! Yikes!! How am I old enough to do things like that?!?

And...

HOW AM I 27?!? WEIRD!!!

So, I decided I was tired last night and went to bed at 11.

6:30 my phone wakes me up - I'm annoyed by it, but don't read the text.

I wake up at 8:45 and read the text - TCU Alert saying TCU is closed. Woohoo!

It is only then that I remember that I had an 8am class...luckily it was cancelled. Which is good, since I would have slept through it anyway.
