(no subject)
Well, I'm procrastinating going to bed (is that ridiculous?), so here's a life update in reverse chronological order:
1. Tonight was Chris and Mary's engagement party. It was a huge semi-formal bash in the Oak Room of South Dining Hall with tons of dancing and fancy clothes. And Dybicz was here--what a treat! Chris and Mary are so beautiful together and it's a real blessing to share in their joy.
2. I spent the day baking them a raspberry cheesecake--mmmmm! It was very well-received, which always makes me feel loved. I know my love language isn't gift-giving or acts of service or word of affirmation, but I love cooking for people, giving them food, and hearing how good it is. Makes me feel needed, I guess.
2.5. I feel as though it should be four days from now because my past 30 hours have been SOOOOO long.
3. Last night Chrissy and I went to a Rascal Flatts concert!! She bought me the tickets for Christmas and we drove up to Grand Rapids after class to see them and Blake Shelton. Aside from getting rawther lost in Kalamazoo (thanks for helping us figure it out, Janel!), it went fairly smoothly. And we decided that even the getting lost was good cause when we stopped for directions we met an EXTREMELY good looking (and tall and manly) guy at a hockey store. Chrissy thinks it's ridiculous that I checked for a ring, but I feel bad being attracted to married men, so I always make sure they're not. I don't think that's weird. Then the concert was awesome--probably one of the few concerts that I could have enjoyed every minute of, because even if I didn't know or particularly like a song they were singing, the lead singer would always pull out some incredible grace notes and just leave my jaw on the floor. Also, they got on this moving stage and came to a small stage in the back to be with the people who couldn't afford crazy tickets, which was very cool. I called Brown Hat to tell her the concert was amazing. Her response? "We finished our puzzle." And we thought Timmy was the one without social skills. Poor BH. Then on the way back, we stopped to see my friend (Janel's friend) Dave and I had a root beer float. I like Dave a lot, mostly because he's one of those friends that you're just so comfortable with for no real reason at all. All in all, an excellent day.
4. I really do look amazing in a cowboy hat--maybe I should move to Texas after all.
5. Got two job interviews!! http://www.cnhs.org/ in Columbia, SC and http://www.holyspiritprep.org/ in Atlanta. The second looks amazing--they teach their high schoolers Latin, Greek, and philosophy!! I never really thought I'd get to teach smart kids, but now that it might be an option, I'm thrilled!! I'm a little concerned that the school might be uber-conservative, but we'll see when they FLY ME DOWN!! THe first school is just a regular old school, but who knows? That might be where God wants me.
That's all I've got. Have to be at Main Circle at 6:45 (ugh!) tomorrow morning to hear a Catholic apologist--I think I'll be exhausted. Then tomorrow night, Ky and Dybicz will be in town--SWEET!!
