Buddy's play date

Robbie, Grant, and Chris went down to Austin for the weekend. Mom asked if Buddy could have a playdate with Toby. So She got to go down too. I decided to let her play all week until I go down for Easter at the end of this week. But I already miss her too much! She is just such a sweet girl, and her kisses in the morning are the best way to start my day.

Saturday cravings for chips and salsa

Jeff and I had another official date yesterday. We have a lot of unofficial dates, which are mostly our mid-afternoon or late night hangouts, which always result in cuddling, or dinner. We normally don't do anything that exciting on our unofficial dates, but they are always just as much fun as our official ones. We take turns thinking of what to do on our dates, and who ever is the one planning the date, gets to be the one who pays.

Jeff planned this official date. We first went to cameron park (which was my idea) and walked around and he took pictures. It was extremel

y beautiful, the weather was perfect, and some of the trees were in bloom.

Next he took me canoeing, and did most of the paddling...since I am not that strong. haha It was fun to just be outside with him. It made me realize I need to spend more time outside.

Then, since I was hungry (of coarse) we went to Food for Thought and satisfied our cravings for salsa and chips! I had fun just listening to him talk about theatre stuff, and Disney movies.

After a short break of doing homework

(for him) and drawing and the gym (for me) we reunited to e

mbark on his date. He took me to a roller rink! Which was so much fun, and

made me think of when we'd go skating as a little kid. I was a huge rollerblader back the day, making ramps, and always skating around the neighborhood. It was fun to relearn roller skating, since they didn't have Rollerblades in my size. We had a super fantastic time! We talked about bands, and songs, and vacations we have taken. It was nice because I like to hear about stuff he likes, because he can be not as talkative as me most of the time.

We went to Baris of a late dinner. The homemade everything was incredibly delicious. And we continued our random blurting out random facts about ourselves.

The more time I spend with him, and the more I learn about him, the more I like him. I am sure whoever reads this gets tired of me gushing about him. But he is just such an amazing guy, I can't help it.

The date ended at the outpost. We and Jacob watched Inglorious Bastards...and I fell super asleep on him. lol

Most Romantic night of my life...

Maybe it was the combination of a sort of sick (yet still drop dead gorgeous) boyfriend, watching 500 days of summer (and the conversation about love is sparked afterwards), or snuggling on the couch watching the second best lighting storm of my life...either way, it was the most romantic night of my short 20 years.

I don't think I can really say enough how perfect of a boyfriend Jeff is. In my head I had expectations (formed from previous relationships and dealing with boys), and what a dream boy would be like...Jeff has kinda surpassed everything I could possible dream about a boy. The sweet things he says to me, the way he touches me, and kisses my head and neck, are just all so perfect and fantastic. I can't imagine anyone could be so wonderful.

okay enough gushing about boyfriend. =)

My heart is torn...

Between these three boys...

Chris keeps texting me and talking to me on facebook. I miss him terribly already. I wish I could fly up there and play with him for the afternoon.

Roy is so adorable. And just turned three last weekend. Seeing him and Lily Tuesday nights is the highlight of my week. His sloppy wet kisses are the best kisses!

What can I really say about Jeff?...Ideal boyfreind. Way too sweet. Dashingly handsome.

Best Monday ever...

Mondays for most are usually long, tiring, and the last thing people want after a glorious weekend.

My monday was particularly splendid. First by waking up to Buddy jumping into my face (she had a little too much energy in her jump, so instead of landing on the bed she landed and ran into my face). I was very much "on my nut" as Jimmy Stewart would say during drawing. My pictures are looking rather glasssy! Carndog gave me a call during a class...I was hoping he wanted me to watch the kids. Yoga class was fun as well, since I ran into Billy there, and TJ after. The rest of my day was pretty normal, with an exception advising, and an earth shattering nap. I don't know what made is such a fantastic day. Maybe it was the weather, or just an awesome mood, or the fantasticalness of the weekend carrying over.

The one completely awful thing that happened...I could only run about 2 miles because of my knee. =(

ps. I found out last week that when I asked Jeff to go to the movies to see Fantastic Mr Fox...he was kinda hoping it was date. As was I.

funny huh?

Sugar town

Every so often I get a song stuck in my head. But it's not just stuck there, its replaying over and over all day long. And I never seem to get tired of it. The last song this happened to was Nancy Sinatra's "Sugar Town".

Now instead of a song, its a boy I can NOT stop thinking about. This maybe childish and giddy, but I am falling pretty hard for him.

The stars lean down to kiss you...

I wrote this a while ago, and thought I would post it. I thought about this again when I was in New York and tried to look up at the night sky and saw pure cloudy gray...

What if everyone in the world, or America, or just Texas, or even just McClennan county turned off their lights for a few minutes. Now I am not asking for much, just darkened their houses, streets, and cars. and stopped. For only a moment, and looked up. With all the lights dark, and nothing reflecting up in the sky to darken the beauty of it. Just think of how many stars, meteors, planets, galaxies we would be able to see. The night sky would be able to unfurl it’s true beauty and splendor. I like to think it would look gray, from the abundance of stars making it not black. I like to think it would be like looking at a very freckled person, if their body was space and their freckles were stars. I think it would really shock people how many stars you can see from earth, and maybe make some sad, thinking this could be our night every night. But the lights from our towns, roads, houses, and cars, dim the light that is our night sky. We just have to slow down and look up. In this looking up, we can see our creator’s workmanship. For Jesus said even the rocks will sing me praise. God can be seen in his creation, and nature praises God just by being so wonderfully created by him. But we won’t know this unless we stop and look up, or look down. Pausing out of our busy day to admire the evidence that is our Creator. We live with this evidence everyday, but fail to look closely and celebrate it.

sick girl

I'm a very sick girl today. I haven't done anything except, sleep and drink tea.

Hopefully I will feel better in a few hours. I really want to see Macbeth.
