i thought that Christmas was when people got engaged. three couples got engaged this weekend... and in order of dating the longest to least!
1. 10 yrs dating: my brother in law's sister is engaged! she hasn't set the date yet- but it may be next fall... but maybe not. we are all happy that friday was a great day for them! yay!
2. 5 years dating: my husband's twin and my friend are finally tying the knot! definitely a long awaited engagment that happened saturday night! (we didn't know about it till after we got home from harry potter that night at 12!)... they should be getting hitched in a mere 5 months, in april... lovely
3. 2 1/2 years dating (i think?): beth manzi and ben are engaged as well! yay! sounds like the ring is huuuuge (yay beth) and it sounds like it will be a 6 month engagement with it being in may! (perfect timing, ben!)
and i'm still married. 2 points for everyone. i am always shocked at how many people struggle in their married lives. look at *in good company* they didn't even make it past 7 months. talk about not being excited about watching THAT movie when i was hittin' the 7 month mark with my hubby. not. excited. no. but hey- we're almost to a year and 7 months now (two months shy).
and. i should have the pictures out to the people who were *in* the wedding this week. now that it's public, and one person who reads this thing will be getting a set -- it will make me actually send them out b/c i have had them ready for ummm... about a year. yeah--- being married hasn't helped me in the way of productivity (sp?)
peace out. it's almost thanksGIVING!!! yay!

sick
i've been sick for a couple of days now (with a minor, none the less), and it has been rough. ha.
i went to the u of michigan game with the neighbors on saturday. it was good- scouting out the competition for OSU this coming week. i think that osu has a chance. we'll see. anyway- it started off with some tailgating and then i had to connect to a conference call. right when i connected, some planes flew by in celebration of the veteran weekend. talk about embarrassing- starting off a conference call with a loud blast. the rest of the game was fun, but a girl who sat behind me apparently dropped her cell phone into the toilet- and it was the only thing she could talk about. i thought that my head would explode! we're at a football game, lets focus! no need to borrow your friends phone and call all the family/friends you have to tell them you'll be unreachable at that moment. one maybe, but not 80. anyway- i'm not giving her enough credit.
you should check out this band named loben i created the site, and there are more *fun* things to come, so we'll see what happens. yeah!
as mentioned before- i was kind of working this wknd. thank goodness i wasn't asked to go in on monday (we had the day off) b/c 1. i felt pretty miserable- and i was hanging out with friends prior to miserableness. 2. i felt like i earned my day off- even though i'm not a veteran. oh well (i get no vacation days till next year- then i have three weeks- go figure). anyway- now i'm even more thankful that i didn't bust everything out b/c the whole project got canceled, and i've spent all morning on creating comps for the project. *fun* (seriously- not a problem)
it's raining out, and i wish that i lived in colorado- the state with the most sunny skies in the us (accroding to a study i saw in high school). am i allowed to take naps at work? we may find out the answer later today

new design
i think that i'm going through a phase where i need to update my background frequently. the last one was disgusting. the organization was icky. i don't know why i even chose it. this one, well, we'll see how long i keep it. i think that i'll be happy with it for a while, and hot pink is *in*
i am able to buy a flash book for work. i'm really pumped about this, unfortunately, i want to be able to buy this one book that will not be released till well into december. yuck. i want to learn how to do things, NOW! boy, i'm super selfish.
this weekend was good, but really tough. we were at a retreat with the high school youth group. some of the girls are ready to be older than they should be. they seem to want to be able to push things to the limit with boundaries, and they have no concept of being calm about boys. i didn't really know about that kind of stuff at that age, but it's hard to let people make the crazy mistakes that people make when they are trying to figure stuff on their own. i hope that God will teach me how to have good words of wisdom come out of my mouth. i feel like i tend to be mega stinky at that kind of stuff. oh well.
okay- that's kind of it. i hope to have a story for next monday, but we'll see. i won't be working, so that will be good enough for me.

november
novemeber is a strange time of year. i like it because october has just passed (halloween!) and then thanksgiving is to come. with Christmas around the corner as well, i don't know what to do with myself. this year, i have Christmas to New Years off, without even having to ask for it. and no, i don't teach. rock on!
the cool, crisp air of november is nice as well. this is my first for the detroit area, and i hope to make the best of it. i'm still the girl who asks people to hang out (it's been a solid couple months, now). i'm amazed at how much better it seems like people like me b/c i ask them to spend time with me. i like that.
this wknd is the fall retreat with the high school youth group. i'm both excited and quite overwhelmed. sometimes, i think that i am not supposed to be a part of this group, and other times i feel like i am right where God wants me. i don't know. i just wish that it was as easy as it was last year. although, i do think that it was better after the fall retreat there, so maybe i'll give you an update later. we'll see.
ha
i'm hoping to take the husband out west this coming spring. i think that we need it. i almost wish that we had the freedom to go where ever we want for new years (which, we do, but i also want to hang out with the college peeps) and go west. who knows. i think that we're actually talking about going overseas in the spring at this point, but we have been known to talk without doing.
i'm exhausted this week from not really doing anything. i think that i worked a total of maaaaaybe four hours the whole week. i think that doing nothing can be tiring.
yes. yes it can.
i hope that i still have energy next week....
i'm off to a sleepless weekend with some 14-17 year olds. (and maybe a couple lucky 18 year olds that were oldies like me in school)
hugs
