my silly boyfriend

it's probably mean of me to tell this story, but it's just too funny to keep to myself!

last night my sister, boyfriend, and i watched marley and me. (by the way, i cried soooo much at the end. i'm such a softy...i'm not even an animal person!) anyway, about 5 minutes into the movie brade fell asleep! granted we didn't start the movie until after 11. this happens to brade a lot and i feel bad because when it does...i like to just barely wake him up and ask him questions. previous questions have included: what are you dreaming about, how much do you love me, and what do you want for christmas. basically i try to get as much information out of his subconscious as possible. is this not completely mean? i would hate it if someone did this to me, but i can't help it! it's just so fun! sometimes, when i'm in the middle of my interrogation- brade'll start saying things that make absolutely NO sense. haha this is my favorite. last night i was telling brade to wake up because he's missing an awesome movie and i'm crying would you please comfort me?

brade replied by saying, "TV MOUTH LAMP."

"What?!" hehe i started laughing. who wouldn't?! then, i started asking him what he meant? (i thought maybe there was something more about the tv, mouth, and/or lamp that would give me a deeper look into his mind)

"that means don't talk to me when i'm sleeping!"

hahahah. i laughed so hard! apparently my amazing boyfriend speaks a different language in his dreams. :) could he get any more perfect!? maybe he's an alien :D we can only hope....and continue to monitor his dreams.

sorry boyfriend! i just had to share how adorable you are.

sometimes...

i wish i could spell

i wish i were shorter

i wish i wouldn't nibble my fingers

i wish i had better ideas

i wish i wasn't so shy

and

sometimes...

i wish my boyfriend would dress like husband (josh) on rockstar diaries

( i mean seriously, that man has THE best style! )

love pull your sore ribs in...

i will pull your tangles out.

how was your weekend?

busy, busy, busy!

hello everyone! i've been so busy lately designing lots of different things! how exciting :) my boyfriend's sister- awna, and i are in the process of making our own business! there will definitely be more to come about that. oh and by the way- like the hair cut?!

also, my town is having their centennial next summer and i was asked to design a few things for them that could go on shirts and hats and stuff..here's a couple i did so far. what do you think?

a light heart full of joy

Life should be a little nuts;

otherwise it's just a bunch of Thursdays,

ya know,

strung together.

-Kevin Costner in Rumor Has It

so true. and today i tried to live up to it. i spent most of yesterday feeling sad- i missed my boyfriend. it's amazing how one person can affect your mood so drastically. but, being the perfect, amazing, wonderful man he is :) he surprised me at work today...with a flower!

i was so excited! i couldn't quit hugging him :) he stayed there and kept me company for 3 and a half hours..he's perfect. i even talked him into picking wildflowers with me when we got home. it didn't exactly turn out to be the romantic adventure i had in mind- considering the mosquitoes were all but lifting us off the ground! but we had fun and boyfriend was a trooper (he hates bugs, but mosquitoes really like him).

thanks for a great day b! you're wonderful.

i love you ted sweetie :)

oh! and by the way..i've made a hair appointment for wednesday next week! goodbye drabby, straggly locks! hello cute swingy short hair! yay!

Terrific Tuesday

do you ever find a song and then listen to it over and over and over? this happened to me a couple days ago. rag doll by aerosmith. what can i say? i really should have been alive in the 80's. on my way to and from work i crank this song and completely rock out. if only you all could see. ha! my only worry is that i will get sick if this wonderful song and stop listening to it. this happens quite frequently to me. i don't have enough self control to limit my favorite song intake so i end up hating it after about a week of constant play. putting that on my list of things NOT to do.

also, i got to spend some time with my boyfriend yesterday! yay! we've both been busy and haven't gotten to spend a lot of time with each other. i love every moment i get to be with him. love you b!!

flower power! about a week ago i got to sneak a peek at my future dorm room. let's just say.. one solid wall is wood paneling. sooo...i've been trying to think of cute things i can do to pretty the place up. i've decided i'll make about a thousand paper flowers then tape them to the wood wall in a nice shape. any other ideas?! i'm all about the ideas.

have a great week everyone!
