A moment of peace.
My heart is at peace right now. Although I feel this is temporary, I still feel great.
My puppy is learning new things every day -- like how to wait at the door to go outside to use the bathroom, her name, how to sit, and now we're working on how to lie down.
I don't have much to do for research this week.
My friends and family continue to be supportive of me while I am here. My grandmother keeps getting better in the hospital. My brother was taken off the list of (immediate) deployment for Iraq. This doesn't mean much for the future, but for now it's better.
I went to the zoo last weekend and saw Nissum. I love her! (She's a big lioness.) I got to pet her and play with her and I let Chris do it too.
I am going to see the Clemson-Alabama game this weekend. There is nothing like cheering for my team to bring my spirits back up. I hope we win! Even if we don't, I still get to hang out with friends and see Chris.
Chris is amazing. I love him more every day. Just thinking of him makes me happy and calms me down when I am upset. I think he will move here eventually (it's just a hunch) and that everything will work out. Even if he doesn't move here, I think it will be okay. It must be frustrating for him to be in the position he's in.
I feel silly writing like such a juvenile. It's okay though, it is just a representation of how giddy I am for the moment.
I'm sure once classes get harder and research gets going I'll be back to being less cheerful (and my normal self, as of late), but at least till Monday I plan on being on cloud nine. Hehe.
