predictable?

I love iphoto. I love that I can look back a year ago to the week and see what I was up to.

 attending the same party I did this past weekend..

 hanging with these sweet cheeks.

Getting promoted..

Also: Buying a car & blogging about my Grandpa (like clockwork?)

Happy April!

counting down

I have exactly 7 days to pull a miracle out of thin air. I've been working SO hard for the past 3 months, and it all culminates in one week from today. I have a lot of work ahead of me, and no days off, or time to rest. That means I need lots of love and encouragement so I don't die. You can:

1. Give me a hug
2. Stop by the store and say hello
3. Leave me notes that say funny things
4. Help me do something fun every night to break up the monotony of all the work.
5. Give me a hug

I started the week off right, with my girl of choice, Colleen. KEEP EM COMING! Seriously. I'm only asking because I need some encouragement this week. I'm pretty good at taking care of myself, but this girl is really at the end of her wire and could use the love and support of her friends.

poppa

One of my favorite people in the whole entire world is my poppa. It's his birthday today, and I called to wish him a good one. He makes me laugh. He is one of very few people in the world that I think "get me" in my truest form. Love you poppa!

socialite

I never really thought about it before, but it takes a good 6 months to get settled in anything new. My new store, my new relationship, etc etc. One of those I am still struggling with, but the other I poked my head out of the ground this weekend, took a good look around and realized I've been keeping myself pretty isolated. Partly because of the work thing, but also getting to know someone and developing a relationship takes time. I think also winter keeps you inside and not as active. Well I miss friendship, and hangouts, and being social, so I'm declaring to be better at all of those things going forward. let's make plans, shall we?

mini diana

So i'ts been a few weeks since we got back from our trip! I finished up a roll of film I'd had in my mini diana for about 4 years and got it developed recently. I'm so in love with this man. and our bikes. and my niece. My life is so good.
