Has it been forever?

Well, it's been over a year. Too long.

I stumbled across my blog today for some reason. Thought I'd write something just to update.

However, I'm at work and probably shouldn't write a lot.

I have a lot to say and no time to say it right now, so I hope to find time soon.

I miss this. It reminds me of college and friends and lccs and illinois and chicago and my family and old times and good times and i could go on and on and on. But I can't so hopefully soon.

Until soon.

DANGIT

I didn't go home this weekend. I seriously thought about it. I wanted to vote - and now I can't. I'd vote for McCain if I could though - in case you were wondering. When Allison decided to go home this weekend because she's attending a candlelight ceremony and a wake, I almost went with her. Dangit I should have. But I probably wouldn't get my homework done if I had. Oh well...

I have homework to do this morning - and right now it's hard to start because Miss Mindy is sleeping still. I decided that I will watch the OC when I do start my homework today :) thank you.

I take my car in on Monday afternoon. I get a rental for the week. I want to go somewhere kinda far so I can drive it :) hehe.

I wish my shoes fit and felt the way that I want them to.

man oh man. life.

tid bit of my fall break :)

and again we say goodbye.

I had to say Goodbye to Alex again early this morning. I dropped him off at the airport at about 10 minutes to 7:00 this morning.

Every time we have to say goodbye, which by now has been at least a dozen times ( I might be exaggerating but I highly doubt it by much ) , I cry. Today, I started crying as soon as my alarm went off and as I'm writing this, I'm crying again! When I got home from dropping him off, I started crying while watching Friends and when Violet texted me. What has gotten over me this time ?? I guess the fact that it is going to be another 7 weeks until I see him again (December - whenever school is done)

One thing to look forward to though is seeing him December and never having to say goodbye again! (Except when I fly home for Christmas for like a week :) And for that, I will celebrate!

It also means I will no longer live in Illinois, at least for a while.
And 6 months from Saturday, WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

um.. weird?

I'll write more about my fall break when I get back to school.
Blahhhh! Class @ 8 tomorrow!

questions asked....

Jess and Morgan had some great questions in their comments on my last blog! HAHA! Well, let me answer those for you :)

If he gets his antelope today, (he's really hoping he does because he has to go home today) he is not going to eat it and neither would I if he even decided to keep it. He's going to give it to a guy he knows and his wife - because they like antelope I guess. Alex does not like to eat antelope and says that I probably wouldn't like it either. I guess it's pretty tough and has a real gamey (is that a word because people use it all the time - haha!) taste. Therefore, he is just going to give the whole thing away (except the horns - he wants to keep those).

HOWEVER! When he goes elk and deer hunting in November, for about 2 weeks right before Thanksgiving, he will most likely keep at least some of that. I have never had elk before, but I bet if it were made into ground meat (I almost said beef but no no, it's elk, not cow) I would probably like it because you can put it in stuff - like tacos and such, and you wouldn't be able to tell what it is. Kind of like Deb putting venison in our tacos :) You can't even tell what it is. At least, I'm never able to. But we'll see. That would be a lot of meat for two people (1 entire elk and 1 entire deer). But I would like to try elk sometime so we'll see if he gets his! Haha!

I hope that answers your questions :) See how much I'm learning from Alex just because he's from Montana :) Haha!

alex :)

Alex comes on Thurday. And he is staying until next Wednesday. I am so excited and I can hardly stand it!!! I haven't seen him since August - yeah, it has been about 8 weeks since the last time.

I have class all week obviously so hopefully the time will pass quickly. He is hunting today. You know, antelope. Kinda like cantaloupe. He was excited when I talked to him last night. Hopefully he gets his today so he can go home. Otherwise, he'll stay there and go again on Tuesday to get it. Then, pretty much when he's done with all that, he'll be here!!!

We're going to go on a date either Thursday when he gets here or Friday. We're going to hang out with my Dad and Violet. We're going to go visit my Grandpa for a little bit, too. We're going to go to the Morton Arboretum and take our engagement pictures - finally! :) We're going to the Bears Game on Sunday!!!! We also have our first premarital session with my pastor on that Monday.

I'm sooooooooo excited for him to get here! Ugh I hope this week goes soooooooo fast! Until Thursday that is, and then it can slooooooooow down :)

oh David Letterman.

This video just made me laugh - granted I am really tired.. it might make you laugh, too :) Just thought I'd share before I went to bed.
