Story Time

It's been rainy, cloudy, sleety in my neck of the woods. Snowing to the ends of the earth on the East coast. And I'm sure it's cold and miserable up in the Midwest. So I figured I'd take a much-needed study break & enlighten y'all with a cheerful story. This actually happened a few weeks ago....but I was reminiscing on it today. - And decided it might be blog-worthy. Unfortunately, typing it out doesn't give the safe effect as being told in person. But here we go. Remember how I once said I am terrible at talking on the phone? Here is a little flash to really represent this truth! Background Info : Ryan used to have a "work phone", but now that he has switched departments/buildings/programs -- I don't have his new number. I never once called his work phone, so am not really sure why it was in my phonebook. But anyways--back to the story. We live in a decently populated city of the Southwest.

I have found that drinking lots and lots and lots of water (NOT ice water, however!) Or take Tums. However, when I Get the hiccups -- I might as well just go hide in my own private room b/c it'll go on for a lonnnng time! It gets annoying. 3. What are 3 of your favorite indulgences? -Yogurt + frozen fruit + dried oatmeal -Clothes shopping -A glass of wine 4. Where is the most exotic

You know things are good when.....

In lieu of Valentine's Day coming up...I have a nice, cheesy, post for you today! Well, today marks 6 months (1/2 year) of being married. Some of you (probably most of you) may read this and laugh hysterically that one would get excited about this. But where is there a rule book saying: "You are only allowed to celebrate your marriage on an annual basis." Unless I am lacking on resources, I don't think there is a rule out there like that. And upon celebrating 1/2 year of a great start to a marriage I was surprised today! Now, sometimes there are moments where you just know that a certain person is right for you. And they do things that no one else in the world would do for you. In fact, no one else in the world would be thrilled by it -- but I am. And this is how I know that Ryan is right: We are celebrating this evening since we didn't have a weekend. He had guard drill and late nights at the library, and I had volunteering and school responsibili
