Gobble… Gobble

The day before Thanksgiving and I have so much to do. Last night I got the magazine to press and I’m so happy it is finally done. I am just keeping my fingers crossed hoping everything gets approved and there is no changes. I can’t wait to be able to rest my eyes for a few days and not think about work. In the last couple of days I’ve been swamped working from 7am-9/10pm on a computer. I think anyone doing this would see how it would make you a little crazy!!! But needless to say I only have to go to press once a month, so for those few days it is probably the worst my job gets. haha as one of my best friends said to me, “Your job is like having your period… it comes once a month without fail. It is a pain when you have it but it will soon all be over“

Hope everyone has a great holiday… Happy Thanksgiving!!!

My Best Friend’s Wedding

In thirty minutes I will be boarding a flight to Madison, Wisconsin with a stop in Milwaukee. With my excitement at a high I was not able to sleep at all last night. Surprisingly, I was able to pop out of bed with little hesitation and my drive to the airport was quicker then I had anticipated. I think traveling for me could be compared to a dog wanting to stick it’s head out of a moving car. I absolutely LOVE traveling and sometimes I think I should of worked for an airlines.

But the real reason I’m so excited is that I’m going to be visiting with my girlfriends Brittny and Holly once again. (The same girls that I went to visit in VA, Beach for Springbreak). We are all going to be celebrating Brittny & Char getting married this weekend! I can’t believe she is getting married on Saturday. The thought has just blown my mind, plus it has also made me realize we are all growing up.

So this weekend should be… no wait… I mean will be Wicked Fun! I will be sure to blog about it when I get back in town on Sunday, I think they are just about to board my flight, so I have to go. Wish me luck I’m the maid of honor and I have to make it through my speech without crying!

Virgina Beach Reunion

Since March of 2008 it has been ONE year since I’ve seen my girls from college Brit & Holly! But in just under two weeks at the end of the month, I’m going to take a spring break vacation and fly out to Virginia Beach.

I just got plane tickets last night and I’m beyond excited I get to go!!! Holly and I are flying in to Virgina Beach to visit Brit at her new pad at law school… so it will be a reunion to die for! We will be going to the beach, shopping, a law school prom and well to be honest just be girls! Virgina Beach watch out… here I come!

I Cherish You

As of today it has been officially one month since Mr. Seattle and I started talking! I have to laugh at myself, because I’m not even in a “relationship” with the guy yet. However, I’m already put an anniversary on the day we started a friendship, oh well… I like it (p.s. I didn’t share that information with him, it just me being a helpless romantic). In all honesty I’m so happy I wrote him those five words to him on facebook… “Just thought I’d say hey.” Even though we are miles apart, this whole experience has been way beyond what I ever anticipated or expected. Who would have ever thought doing something like that would turn into such a beautiful friendship? Our friendship has truly been a huge blessing to me.

For the longest time I’ve been disappointed by guys in general, finding they only want something when it is convenient for them. But I find Mr. Seattle to be different, he genuinely seems interested in me for who I am and not what I look like. Which is an awesome feeling to have for once! There are so many great qualities and characteristics Mr. Seattle has that I’ve noticed I really enjoyed. It has been a pleasure hearing him share his heart, thoughts and experiences. I never thought I would be able to have this much fun getting to know someone! It just makes me realize how bad I was treated in some of my past relationships. Probably one of the biggest reasons I’ve grown to cherish Mr. Seattle so much this past month. I finally get what it feels like to have a “real” relationship. Whatever comes of all this… call me old fashioned but, I know if I can grow old with someone that loves the Lord, cares for me unconditionally, and wants to share a life together being best friends… I would be the happiest woman alive. Even though it has only been one month, at least I know the feelings I’ve grown to have for Mr. Seattle are real.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Hot Chocolate, Cookies & a Movie

So here is the down load on date number two with Mr. Seattle… it was beyond great! Since Mr. Seattle is from out of town he came over my apartment last night for some hot chocolate, cookies and a movie. While watching Family Stone, we had so much fun together and it seriously felt like we have been best friends for years! I don’t know what it is about him, but when I’m around him I laugh so hard…he is quite the jokester. Granted even though we joked and laughed a lot we did manage to have some serious conversations about our relationships with God. Which can I say is definitely a new experience for me on a date. It was really neat to get to know his heart and hear about his walk with God. I just can’t seem to get over the fact that it is so easy to talk to him. I don’t think since we met there has been one awkward moment between us yet. Even though the date didn’t really go beyond snuggling on the sofa during the movie, I’m not disappointed at all. It will make the next time I get to see him so much better and I’ve learned my lesson from starting off relationship on the wrong foot. Plus since we live so far apart, only time will tell to see how this all plays out. It will be interesting to see how the long distance communication goes. Not saying we are in a relationship yet after two dates, but there is definitely something really strong between us and from what I gathered last night we both felt it. I’m not sure when I will get to see Mr. Seattle again but I’m hopeful it will be soon. I just have to leave this one in God’s hands, and pray that He will guide our friendship where He wants it to go.
