Five Months

**WARNING: this one's gushy

Today marks the day that Phillip and I have been dating for five months. It's crazy to think about it, especially since it's been so much longer than that!

I was telling a friend the story of how we met and started dating, and I was surprised to find that I was very glad to tell her that we were friends for a good year and a half before we started dating. So, five months doesn't really mean much to me, to be honest. Because there are more important dates in our relationship.

It's been about 1 year and 10 months since we met.

It's been about 1 year and 6 months since we became really close friends.

It's been about 7 months since we started to consider dating.

At 4:30pm today it will be exactly 5 months since we started officially dating.


I am just so happy that we don't only have a dating relationship, but we have a strong friendship. That is what has kept us together, and what I believe is going to keep us together for a long time, if not forever. I can't express how happy I am to be celebrating 5 official months with my best friend! I love you, Phil!

Still Freshman year, we're going to Spring Formal! Phil went with Ashley, I went without a date.














Sophomore year, long before we started dating.

The only thing better than a good friend is one with chocolate

That's what it says on a paperweight that Sam gave to me like two years ago. I still have it sitting on my desk. I just love my friends!! Sam came again this weekend for a visit. I can't express how blessed I am to have a friend like her in my life. She has been there for me so many times, and I just love being with her in general! I love my best friend!! :)

Michigan

My family has left for Michigan! And here I am, at home, getting ready to go to work... oh, well. I knew this wouldn't be a summer vacation.

Surprisingly, I am looking forward to having the house to myself. I am not scared about it at all. I will enjoy the time I get to spend alone and I think I'll get a lot done too!

Sam and Phil left this morning after a simply perfect weekend. I honestly was nervous about how it would go, since they have never come up together before. But we really had a good time, and I got to spend some alone time with both Sam and Phil individually.

KC Camp started yesterday, and it couldn't have gone better! We had 20 kids, which really helped it go well. And I got another volunteer!! Yay!! I just need to buy more prizes now, if there are going to be that many kids on a Sunday morning!

Well, I need to finish getting ready and head in to work. Bye bye for now!

I Have a Story!

So this morning I woke up to a rusting in my wall. My first instinct was to look around to see who was messing around in my room, but then I realized that it was coming from the wall! So I figured it was a moutoo tired to be freaked out by that idea (as long as it wasn't a robber or some other scary person, I was going back to sleep). But then it kept making noises, so it made me look around again... and I saw the shaddow of a bird at my window! There is a bird making a nest in my window!! It's in the window with my air conditioner, so I can't see it, but I can see its shaddow. I'm so excited!! I'll get to come home from work one day and see this bird's eggs hatch! :-D I know this probably isn't something to be excited about, since it is in my window, but I just don't care. It made my day!

Just thought I'd share :) Happy 4th of July!

My Very First July Post!

Hurray for July!!

Well, not much has been going on here... I got my first paycheck that was exciting. And Cuevas will be here tonight sometime! I don't know if I'll get to see them today or not, I'll bet they'll be tired. I can't wait to see them all again, though! I have the day off today and then I work a full day tomorrow... and then Sam and Phillip come to visit for the long weekend!! I can't wait!

I really don't have anything to write about right now, I just felt like I should update. Hmm... Well, I went for a run with Samson this morning and guess what he did... he pooped in the middle of the road! Rachel asked me what road he pooped on and when I told her she said, "Me too!! Well, I mean, I didn't poop on that road, but Samson did once when he was with me." Just thought that was a funny quote to share.

Today I'm getting ready for KC Camp to begin. It starts on Sunday!! I can't wait... actually, I can. I'm not quite ready yet... Rachel and I are planning on going over to the church to start setting up for Sunday. I'm thankful that she's going to come with me to help, because she's a lot more creatively inclined than I am.

Until next time... Elizabeth ;)
