Time
I can't help but feel obligated to update since everyone else is. So much to catch up on! These past couple weeks have just felt like a rollercoaster of good times and bad. So, from the top...
Of course, the day Sarah and I have dreamed of: Prom. I don't even think there's a word that does it justice. It was so amazing. I step through the door, say a quick "hi" to Jon and set my umbrella aside, and then look up and catch my first glimpse of unsurpassed beauty. I was speechless. I tried my hardest to pick my jaw up off of the floor and then before I knew it I was holding the love of my life. Sarah, everytime I think of that moment I still can't come up with anything to say other than a breathless "wow." It was a dream come true, and after the donning of her corsage and my boutonniere and many pictures later, we walked outside to the car to begin our amazing night. To sum it up: drive to my house (pretty silent mostly because we were so absorbed with how amazing the other looked and were stealing glances as well as strictly enforcing the "red light rule"); Hacienda (dinner with THE MOST AMAZING girl in the world!); drive to the Palais Royale (not so silent because we were full and happy and got most of our "you look so amazing"'s out of the way and were just looking forward to meeting up with everyone and dancing); and then of course, the dance itself! I think this deserves its own paragraph...
Senior Prom. Whoa. Last dance ever before stepping out of high school and moving on toward life. Last chance for great times with your buddies that you may never see again. The best time to spend the one who you want to be with for the rest of your life. Perfect. Between the dancing and socializing and unforgettable kisses on the dance floor, nothing could have been better. Nothing. I would relive this moment over and over again if I had the chance. I held Sarah, the most beautiful and loving person in the world, in my arms the entire night and I couldn't have asked for anything more. The one dance that counts the most was undeniably the most unforgettable and best dance. EVER. I am the luckiest guy alive...Seriously.
Then came the after-dance socialization time over at Danny's house. Good food + Good drinks (SODA...don't freak out!) + Good people = Great times. We stayed for about an hour (maybe more? I can't remember exactly). Anywho, after the good-byes came the dreaded ride home. You know...the kind of ride home that you never want to make because you never want the night to end but you know it has to. Yeah, it was like that. A last kiss on the porch and then the lonely drive home. A great end to a great night (to say the least!). It was definitely on my list of Top 3 Most Memorable Nights.
The following day was our 6 month anniversary. It seems like we've been together forever (in a good way!) yet we still have so far to go in learning everything about each other. That's not a bad thing either...I LOVE learning each little thing about Sarah! Hun, you mean so much to me and I look so forward to our future together. I love you with all of my heart! The only downfall to the day was that my feeling so icky squished our morning plans to go to the WA feis together. I felt so bad because we talked about it for so long. I'll find some way to make up for it.
The week after felt like a blur. Good days and bad days alike. The Cubs game on Thursday was definitely one of the good days. I had so much fun watching my favorite team and having a good time with Danny and everybody. I bought a new spiffy hat which will probably never leave my head for quite a while. I also bought part of Sarah's b-day gift because I just couldn't help myself and had to give it to her early. It was this neato green bear with a white shamrock on the front and the Cubs logo in the middle. Heehee...new Cubs fan in the making! I gave it to her on Friday...yet another great date night! Saturday I worked another "wonderful" double (dripping with sarcasm if you can't tell). Sunday was a good day because Sarah was able to go to Church with my family in the morning and I had to read for Mass. Speaking of family, MY BROTHER IS BACK IN TOWN!!! Man, I miss that guy. It's so good to finally have another person who understands where I'm coming from and is just as (if not more) psychotic as I am! Late nights and many laughs have followed since Saturday and they will continue for about a month until he has to transfer to Miami. It's great to have him back. Oh, and then there was Monday...another neato day ;-)
So...that brings us pretty much up to speed on current events. Tuesday was my last official day of school and I only take 3 finals (1 on Thursday and 2 on Friday). On Friday, I take my placement exams for IUSB and can finally relax a bit. Graduation is on the horizon: May 31 at the Joyce. Whew, the end has finally come. Now on to the real world...
SPECIAL SARAH SECTION: I wish her the best of luck this weekend at the Cleveland feis. You'll do great, don't worry! You are amazing! Oh...and then there's the little fact that MAY 29 IS HER BIRTHDAY!!! PARTY!!! I wish her the happiest of days and I can't wait to see you then! I LOVE YOU SARAH!
I hope everyone has a great week.
