- Apart from turning in my letters of recommendation tomorrow, my application for SPU's Marriage and Family Therapy program is complete. This was a "hurray!" and "holy you-know-what!" moment all in one. But mostly good. I've done all I can.. Now, we wait.
- In a sudden (but not out of the ordinary) little stress freak-out right before I turned in the application, my dear heart Chelsey somehow wrangled me out of crazyville and back into normalcy. He made me stop before I pushed that dreadful/wonderful SUBMIT button on my application and prayed that whatever happens we (I) will be content and know it is God's plan. Be still my tiny and frantic heart, I love that guy a lot.
- We had a kajillion snow days in a row. Sunday, it began. Monday was a holiday, and it snowed more. Tuesday it was way frozen and my one class that I had, was started late and ended early. Then school was closed Wednesday, Thursday & Friday! It was really nice to not really do anything. I ended up reading a bunch of books from junior high, which is never a bad thing.. Princess Diaries (Volume 3!) is just about the best thing. If you don't love Mia Thermopolis (who I will always envision as Anne Hathaway), you are weird in my book. Plus a little Gossip Girl for the scandal-lover in me. Meanwhile, my brother is reading John Steinbeck in the corner silently while listening to some fancy jazz music. Are we really related?
- I was drowning in homework and probably not in the best mood, but Chelsey just sent me a picture of a tiny little baby sleeping in a fluffy blanket. Melt of cuteness. He knows me too well.
- During this week of being stuck in the house we couldn't really drive or go anywhere, so we just stayed at home. Most of the time I ended up hanging out with my little sister, Kaitlin.. And in that time I realized she is hilarious and actually cool, despite the fact she's my sister. ;) We had lots of fun driving everyone crazy this week, watching an entire season of HIMYM and just hanging out together. :)
- Having such wonderful jobs. I work for a therapist, Danielle, who is probably the most laid back and great person ever. She gave me a giant candle when I got engaged and it smells so good I want to eat it. I also work at SPU in Disability Support Services for the director of DSS, Jon. He happens to be laid back but also just as anxiety-prone as I am somehow, so we relate to each other pretty well. After showing up late to work one day because I was stuck in horrific Seattle traffic, he asked why I didn't have my chai latte.. And that I should get my priorities in line. Get coffee, THEN go to work. Tell me you don't wish he was your boss.
- Poor Chelsey's family was out of power for a few days during the snow days, as I sat warm and toasty by the fire. We didn't get to talk much or even see each other for FOUR WHOLE DAYS (gasp! gasp!) Which is very unusual for us and therefore kind of a big fat bummer. Then my power went out, and we had no contact at all. Sad lil me. But alas! As my sister and I sat in my bed reading silly preteen novels, she shouted 'HEY IS THAT CHELSEY OUTSIDE?' And of course I said no, but wait! It was him! Despite the fact he lives 7 whole miles away and his car was stuck in ice and snowy stuff, he for some reason really, really wanted to see me. So he walked. It was so sweet to see him all pink from the cold and bundled up in a million layers, just to see his crazy weird girlfriend who apparently he missed. It reminded me of middle-school and junior high, before the days of the exalted driver's license, when the only way anyone saw their boyfriend/girlfriend was if they were driven by a parent or walked. And it was the best. AGAIN, I love that guy a lot.
- All the wedding stuff happening! We have so many cute ideas floating around our house and it is just the best thing in the entire world. I want to write all the crazily precious things we are doing but I don't want my ideas being taken slash there should be some surprises for my guests. Tee hee. My mom comes up with a new idea probably every 5 minutes and they are all so good. Only 202 days left! Not that I'm counting.
- This picture of us I forgot we took on Christmas. We both look dorky and my hair looks funny but we are so completely ourselves and hugging each other and I think it is pretty cute. Love you, Chelsey-welsey. :)
- The feeling of climbing in my warm bed after what seemed like an endless day of writing. Heaven on earth, lemme tell ya.
Hope you enjoyed this. Make your own list too! It'll put a smile on your face, I promise. xo
