high light/low light

At Mi Casa every week we go around and say our high light and low light. It's fun, and interesting. And I love it! Even Lily and Roy have "what made them happy, and what was sad".

This week I have got to say:
high light:
Friday night. Lord of the Rings. Brownies. And hanging with Steven and Ryan. I feel like I haven't had a lot of one on one time with Ryan recently so it was super fun! Also I totally owned him at knowing Lord of the Rings better.
Monday night. Got some quality time Conner, hanging on the floor in Ben's room. Again I haven't spent time with just him in a while.
Buddy was also extremely lovable tonight!

*The boys are sometimes very nice one on one. They don't get as wriled up and can't feed of each other. They usually are more sweet.

Low light:
none.

flowers....

I saw two guys recently...
One, pulled his car to the side of the road, got out and was picking wildflowers in the field. - I am assuming for his girlfriend.
The second guy I saw, was walking down the street to an apartment complex with a bouquet of flowers in hand. - I also guessed for his girlfriend.

Both of these scenes just took me by surprise. The unusual amount of sweetness was touching.
Good job boys, you have some lucky girls.

The thing that poets write about...

i want more of..

the thing that poets right about
the thing that singers sing about
the thing that flowers bloom for
the thing that stars shine for
the thing that babies laugh for
the thing that jesus died for
the thing that winners wait for
the thing that trees reach for
the thing that addicts stop for
the thing that widows die for
the thing that proud are humbled for
the thing that lonely are looking for
the thing that made me come alive
the thing that made me realize ...

that love is the most beautiful thing
that anyone can happen to

Scene of the crime...

I come back from treatment to find my nightstand completely disheveled...picture frame knocked over, jewelry box on the floor, flowers knocked over, and partially chewed up, and water spilled everywhere...

Buddy is a bit obvious when it comes to her making mischief.

I knew there was a reason why she didn't run up to me when I got home.

Cross country

I am in line to be a walk on for the cross country team. I have started training this week. My body is adjusting to all this exercise, and I get super dooper tired around 9 each night. So I'll go to bed earlier and wake up earlier...Like I have right now.

I thought I was in better shape than I thought, but my IT band injury has really put me back more than I thought. SO I have to work extra hard to catch up with the other girls.

ANyways I love the idea of being able to eat a ton, and whatever I want...since my body just need calories and energy to keep going.

one month...

I like how when you don't plan or expect something you usually find it.

My world is being turned upside down by the wonderfulness of my lovely Jeff. He keeps surprising me day after day, and continually gives me butterflies when I am around him. Shouldn't the butterflies have stopped in February? Anyways, he is more than I could have hoped for dreamed for.

Allergies, frizzy hair, and speeding tickets....

Here is my vent post:

Allergies suck, and the medicine sucks all the life and vitality out of you. I fell asleep on Jeff again on our date Saturday night, because of them.

HUmidity = frizzy hair = me wanting dreads very badly

I got two speeding tickets last monday.

Oh and I am a terrible vegetarian - really a non- vegetarian.

but on a lighter note:

My weekend was splendid!

Friday: RYan, Ben, Brandon, Jake, Jeff, Rob, and I all went out for pizza. Then Steven and I watched Clint Eastwood movies.

Saturday: date night! But it ended up being group date night! haha. We went out for hamburgers (my eating habits need to change), at a hamburger Chinese food place! Then to Date Night! great movie. then home to make chocolate covered strawberries for a midnight picnic. We didn't go on the picnic, instead I fell asleep while Jeff watched the Prestige.
