so i'm back in the LC for the holidays which means you can all be looking forward to lots of LJ updates, mainly because there's nothing else to do, we always find ourselves playing online. exciting, i know.
as of today, my parents have been married for 27 years, which i completely forgot about until they reminded me this afternoon.(way to be, krisan). we went to dinner @ goblin market tonight in celebration... thought that was nice of them to include me on their big date. seriously though can we think about this? 27 years of togetherness, plus the 2 years of dating beforehand... that's a lot, and they're still young. personally i think that's awesome. i love the idea, and it really bothers me how uncommon it is these days for marriages to last. everyone goes into it with such good intentions... what goes wrong? why is it that arranged marriages in the olden days were so highly respected and rarely broken... its so different now. i'm not a fan. i'm pretty sure that if i had to choose another profession, i would want to spend my time researching why that is and trying my best to do something about it. i could write a novel on this subject, and i doubt you care, so we can move on. but all of this to say... happy anniversary to my parents, and thank you for buying me dinner. xoxo.
EHS graduate run-in count: 1 (jake beard, waiter @ goblin market)
well ok, finals week didnt turn out quite as planned... i lost my 4.0 with flying colors this semester... 3 Bs and 2 As. but there are more important things in life right? the B in immunology was highly negotiable and the most annoying of them all, but i got a letter of recommendation out of it, which i'll gladly accept. next semester should be easier and the gpa higher. hopefully.
*excellent* birthday/christmas/anniversary celebration with ben last night. me = luckiest girl ever. weird to think that its been almost a whole year since that first breakfast at big blue bagel. skiing in aspen, where all of this began. 1/6/04. sitting in my car for three hours on the phone with emily. hahahah... good decision, us. i am such a happy girl. and just for the sake of being cheesy...
us, about a year ago.
ok i think i could sleep now. more family bonding in store for tomorrow, elliephante&co. will be home sunday afternoon, and then back to work sometime next week. i wish it was cold in florida. why is it never cold in florida?
