Really Awesome Week

So, life is really good right now :-)
John and I went to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert on Tuesday, and it was AMAZING!!!! Our seats were 3rd row, center stage! The show was absolutely incredible! It's so hard to describe, but when I get the photos on my computer, I'm going to upload them to my ofoto account so people can see them :-)
Aaaaannnnnddddd.... After the concert, I was getting into the car, and John PROPOSED TO ME!!! It was amazing and the ring is BEAUTIFUL, I love it so much, I love him so much!!! I can't even begin to talk about how excited I am! I was so surprised, I had NO idea it was coming! It was just incredible. Even just talking about it I can't even find words for it :-)
So, August 20, 2005 is the day, and I am sooooooooo excited! Now we need to start planning it!
I'm so happy!!!!

Day after Christmas

So here we are, the day after Christmas. I am so tired! It was a good Christmas, despite not feeling like Christmas until almost 5 o'clock that night. I got some really great stuff from my family, John's family, and especially John! He got me a ticket to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra this Tuesday up in Portland!!!! I am so excited! It makes it that much more fun, because he'd been saying he was going to take me since before we were even a couple. I can't wait! :-)
I also gort some Wal-Mart gift cards, an L.L. Bean gift card (which I used to buy a new winter dress coat), cash (yay money!), J.C. Penny gift cards, and the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD (yay for little sisters!). My parents were awesome this year, they got me way more than I was expecting. They bought me quite a few little things, a new purse, they cut out a picture of a business suit and wrapped it (meaning that I have to go shopping with my mom to get a suit - which I DID ask for this Christmas), and a new printer! They got me a nice HP photo printer, which my dad told me he picked up this past week because he was able to get it on sale. I really was surprised about the last thing, because I had asked for a printer, but really wasn't expecting one.
I got some really nice things from John's mom and Dad, his brother and his brothers girlfriend and his sister and his sisters fiance. I got some scarves, hats, gloves, candles, a birthstone necklace and a pin. I was totally not expecting that much at all, so it was quite a surprise, but a nice one :-) I felt really bad, because I wasn't planning on either of his siblings getting me anything, so I had nothing for them.
Ugh, I'm so not ready for tomorrow to be Monday. I told John in the car on the way back here that I need a few more Sunday's before I go back to work tomorrow. Full day at work tomorrow, then Tuesday it's work till 1:30, Dr.'s appointment at 3, then back to Johns house so we can head up to see TSO that night! YAAAAY!!!!

Vacation, all I ever wanted... Vacation, had to get away

Your Dominant Intelligence is Musical Intelligence

Every part of your life has a beat, and you're often tapping your fingers or toes. You enjoy sounds of all types, but you also find sound can distract you at the wrong time. You are probably a gifted musician of some sort - even if you haven't realized it. Also a music lover, you tend to appreciate artists of all kinds. You would make a great musician, disc jockey, singer, or composer.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

Yay end of the semester

I love the end of the semester! Especially when, after tonight, I only have 2 classes left (that's right, I said 2 - know why? Because I don't have to go to TWO of my classes tomorrow!! yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!) and one of them is an in class final (in a philosophy class - whoo hoo) and the other is essentially a breakfast class, in that we get to drink coffee and eat breakfast and talk about what we liked about the semester. I have 3 out of 4 term papers done, handing in #3 tonight. #4 is due next Monday. I have 2 take home finals, one I already have, the other gets posted on blackboard tomorrow!
Tomorrow will be a good day. 2 classes, then I'm going to go donate blood, then I'm going to work on my paper, then head up to Laconia around 2 or 2:30 for Johns school concert. I'm excited about it, he's worked so hard with those kids this semester.

Oh, so this past weekend was an adventure. I got home from work on Friday and John came up, like normal. We spent the night cleaning and getting ready for both of our parents to come to my apartment for pizza on Saturday. So I was dusting around the living room window, and I put my foot up on Henry's desk to reach behind the hutch that was on it, and CRASH!!! The top of his desk broke! Fortunately, nothing else did, but I felt soooo bad! I cut my leg in 2 places, and my other ankle and hurt it a lot. But his computer was fine and none of his stuff broke, so I gave him my desk, and John gave me one that he had at his house. What a mess! But it's all good now. Henry wasn't mad, surprisingly.
Saturday John and I went up to Sarah and Chad's for their engagement party. We only stayed for a couple hours, but it was good to see her that day, since it had been a while since I'd seen her. That night his and my parents came over for pizza, and got to meet each other for the first time. That went really well! Our parents were like long lost best friends or something. So that was good. Then Johns parents and the two of us went to the Strafford Wind Symphony concert up in Rochester, and it was excellent. John's probably going to start playing with them in January, which will be good... I'm kind of sad, because we'll lose another night together during the week, but I'm excited for him to have a chance to really play with a group again.
Sunday was just a Sunday... worked on homework and that was about it.

Anyway, off to my last SW 705 class! YAY!!!

Stuff

Well, only a few more weeks until Christmas, which means there is only a week left of classes. YAY!!!! I handed in my first 2 term papers this week, and I have two left to write. One is due on the 9th, so I need to really start working on that. The last one is due on the 13th, so I need to start working on it, but not as much. Neither of them really have a page minimum either, so thats going to make it much easier. I'll be SOOOO glad when this semester is over! It's been bordering on nightmarish! Next semester won't be as bad, just internship 2 days a week, work 17 hours or so, plus my seminar, practice 2 and human development 2.

Thanksgiving was good - it was nice to get home for a weekend. John came with me, and that was really nice. I'm glad we didn't have to spend a holiday apart. I'm glad we won't have to spend Christmas apart either! It will be strange not waking up at home on Christmas morning, that's never happened before, but I'm excited about being with his family for the holiday. I love his family, so it will be fun.

This weekend John and I are going up to Sarah Casses for her engagement party, which should be a good time! I haven't seen her house yet, and I haven't seen her in a long time!
Also, we're going to the Strafford Wind Symphony concert with my parents and Kate and his parents! They're meeting for the first time, and I'm kinda nervous! More so because tonight John and I have to clean my apartment since they're all having dinner here!!! So it's massive cleaning night tonight... ugh.

Anyway, I'm just home for my lunch break now, so I've gotta wrap up and head back to work... only 4 hours left there until the weekend!

Peace!
