Wellll first three guys had to push my car out of the snow and help me uncover it from the ice. That was on Thursday because of our blizzard! We didn't have school on Wednesday and my car door was frozen shut, so no work. The Thursday I had an extra hour between lunch and class, so I decided to attack the ice encasing my car. Some nice fella came out and helped. Then we had to push it out because it was plowed in!! (Please know that when I saw "we," I mean the unknown angel man.) He started to push me out and then up came Lee Caterson, who freaking survived cancer last year, and another guy who is apparently named Darrin Carrier, and then got me out! Lee and mystery man told me something's leaking and to go get it checked out so....
Friday morning I dropped my car off after NT, after standing outside in the FREEZING waiting with an Australian man (he was not a happy chappy! his words) for the dumb shop owners to arrive. They did and they said they would fix it. Bethany came to pick me up and take me to chapelllll and at the end of the day my new friend Michael drove me to pick it up. I think I'd really like to hang out with Michael more and see the tattoo he has on his chest! ;)
Friday work was crazy fun. We wrestled a lot and Tavion saved me, then Tyree got my fact with his nail. It's cute. We had a fire drill and Talbert was so distraught when I put him down that he laid down in the snow! Crazy baby. <3 Talbert then spend a good 15 minutes putting a hat on and off my head. He was just so entertained! Christopher and I spent a good chunk of time pinching each other. I love those kids! Kelvin came and was cute. Miss Janet and I were going crazyyyy and it was hilarious. Then I picked up pizza and ate the whole thing almost by myself.
Saturday we (Katelyn and I) woke up and drove home to the murder mitten! My mom made some yummmmmyyyy chicken tacos for dinner and then we watched the Duggars on TV and Katelyn made her yummmmyyyy white chili. Then it was Applebees for dessert (mmmm Justinwaiter and funnywaiter who scared stupid girl) and we saw Bride Wars! It was so gooooddd and funny. My favorite part was when Anne Hathaway said, "Mother eff!" Also I want to get married times one million now. And have Sarah and Katelyn in the wedding. And we saw Mike Bane. And then we went to sleep.
Sunday we went to sunday school, then Dunkin Donuts!! then service. Then we ate one million chili and it was amazing. Back to my house for naps/CSI marathon! They showed the one where Nick gets buried. Ahhhh so amazing. We didn't get back to school til like 10, because we got caught up in the CSI marathon. Today I talked to Craig a lot and Mattttt from Spanish whom I adore. Also reunited with my old Spanish ladies a la mesa original. Life is fun! And Honduras is in 10 days! :D And OneVoice (gospel choir!) chapel is on Thursday! And I'm giving blood for the first time that day too! I'm not nervous, just excited.
Giving second thoughts to my summer plans. Prayers?

Turn my words into a song!
You're like a sunrise.
Being around you makes me want to hate you.
Because if I hate you, then I don't have to deal
with this overwhelming affection that grows up in me.
This wild animal of affection that
rears up in me every time you come around. Because
if I hate you, I don't have to deal with
this wild animal of affection that rears up in me.
Being around you makes this overhwelming
affection.. this wild animal of affection...
makes me want to hate you... You're like a sunrise.
Sometimes people surprise you. And sometimes
people are wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. You
fill me up with wonder. Sometimes people fill you
up with wonder, and sometimes you just
stare. Sometimes you leave someone and as you're
walking back to your car, or driving home,
or falling asleep, all you can think about it this person,
this wonderful person. And you're
filled with wonder and you're not in love, but
you're filled with wonder and you want to be
around this person, this wonderful person.
Because they fill you up with wonder and you can't
help wondering how much more wonderful your life
would be with this person in it, with this
person as a wonderful part of your wonderful life.
And you're full of wonder.
And that's enough. That's just me and that's all
I want to let you know right now. That's me
and I'm getting part of me secret, holding some
of me back for a rainy day. I'll let you in
more on a rainy day. When there's nothing to do
and we're sitting at home bored, all the
games played and all the talks talked, then I'll let
go of some of the me that I've been
holding back. On a rainy day you can see that hidden
piece of me. Not all of the pieces, but
maybe one piece that you've never seen before. And
maybe I'll let you have it and take it home with you,
but maybe I'll put it back into myself for the next rainy day.
This is annoying, but I got a new username. Add it!

SUCCESS! I actually had a normal social interaction with Grayson! I was walking away from the Students' Center and he was walking towards it.
Me: "Grayson!" (scoldingly)
Grayson: "What's up?"
Me: "You are going to get sick without a coat on!" (Seriously, it's like, 2 degrees outside and he's not wearing a coat!)
Grayson: "I know!! I drove to my first class and forgot that I had to walk to the rest of my classes."
Me: (shakes head)
:D. It's a step. Of course, we had normal social interactions all the time last semester, but now it's a triumph!
Next Thursday OneVoice (the gospel choir I'm in) is having their very own chapel all to themselves! It should be online, so I'll post it up once it happens. This morning I had breakfast with the President of my school! And about 20 other sophomores.. but it was nice. However, it started at 7am, so this day has been very long already and I haven't even left for work yet! I miss my kids when I'm gone though. It's snowing and hopefully we won't have class tomorrow! Also, hopefully I don't get in a car accident on the way home from work.

Fail. Fail fail fail fail fail. Epic fail. I failed. Failed to take advantage of a wonderful opportunity to talk to Grayson (more than I did), to walk with Grayson, to invite Grayson to dinner last night. To give Grayson just a little hint that the thought of his existance doesn't make me nauseous.
(Me and Grayson both walking out of our Spanish exam at the same time)
Grayson: See ya later.
Me: Yeah, see ya. (Step, step, pause, turn) Wait, are you going to OneVoice tonight?
Grayson: Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
Me: Alright, see you then, then. (Walk away into lamezone)
FAIL.
And all this after not talking to him for weeks! And after him missing two Spanish classes. Ghoawuthoasg. I just need to let it go. Because then we could actually be friends instead of me being really stupid and him being really great. Let it go... just let it go.

Fridadiday after work I met up with a few girls I lived with last year for Katilin's birthday. We went to Chuck E Cheese (or more literally, I went to Chuck E Cheese after work, they were lost for about an hour and the driver refused to listen to my directions (I mean, I was sitting in the parking lot so obviously I knew how to get there) and eventually I had to meet them in a Walmart parking lot and have them follow me there; what would they do without my knowledge of the city of Springfield?) Tbh, I thought Chuck E Cheese was going to be lame, but it wasn't, it was a blast. I mostly ran around winning millions of tickts from Jackpot games (I tell ya, don't ever take me to a casino!). We all decided that we were going to win as many tickets as we could and give them all to Kaitlin for her birthday so she could ge tsomething nice. Well, we all had 12 tokens (except for Katelyn and me- Katelyn had 20 and I had 24) and altogether we raked in 697 tickets. Balling!
After that we went to Steak and Shake and got some yummy milkshakes, then Katelyn and I watched some CSI and went to bed. Yesterday I finally stopped neglecting the fact that I only had nail polish on three of my ten fingernails and (sloppily) painted them while watching Nancy Drew. I started work on an Intercultural Communication assignment, but it's all questions about our ancestors and I don't know anything about my ancestors. I answered some questions like, "What language did your ancestors speak? Well, the ones from Germany spoke German..." but I'm hoping my mom will have some more answers.
So Katelyn and I went to church as we always do and it was good. A little more noisy than usual (we don't have classes for the kids, it's a community!) but Dr. Gombis is amazing and I just love being at that church. I forgot my tithe money though and that was really lame of me. I'm really bad at money and my mom keeps telling me I need to tithe or I'm not going to have any. It's true, I know! Then we went to Taco Bell afterwards. I thought the basketball game started at 7, so I was all ready to go, but Katelyn told me it didn't start til 7:30, so we drove around Cedarville for 20 minutes (BORING!). But the game was awesome. It was a rough and tumbly game with a lot of fouls, a lot of guys on the floor, Brandon sliding into the crowd, and almost technical, and even some blood! But of course, we won by like, 10 points. I love basketball games. Hey, if you're close enough, come visit me and we'll go watch my school's basketball team beat another school's basketball team!! They've only lost one game, out of like, 22.
Ohhhh but it gets better from here. Katelyn and I have been saving these pizza box box tops where if you save 9 you get a free pizza. So last night we had finally reached our goal of nine and were going to pick up our free (tiny, but free) pizza. We pulled up in the parking lot (rather, a row of five parking spaces, but we're a small town!) right next to this other car, of which Basketball Zach was getting out. Him and his little friend (it was a guy, but next to Basketball Zach anyone looks little) were actually going in to stay and eat, so after Katelyn and I got back out to the car I said, "I should leave my number on his windshield." So I did! I wrote on a piece of paper, "Zach, 724-812-7214 <3 Suzanne" and stuck it under his windshield wiper. He called! I was all nervous. But it was a short conversation. He basically asked how I knew it was his car ("I saw you get out of it"), how I knew who he was ("you were on basketball last year") and for my last name so he could look me up on Stalkernet, this thing on our school's website where you can look up everyone's basic student info and picture. But I took my picture down because it was hit and so I told him my picture wasn't up there and he told me to add him on Facebook and "we'll continue this conversation later." So base, if I'm not hot enough, we're never talking again. Haha. Fine by me! I've always known he wasn't exactly the deepest person, (well I don't like him for his personality, please) so I'm alright with whatever.
Funn weekend. And next weekend I get to go home and Katelyn, Erin, and Brittany are coming and we're going to the Chili Cook Off with Sarah! At least I hope Sarah comes! And also I got my passport in the mail this week! Breathe a sigh of relief, everyone, I'm going to Honduras!
Grayson hasn't been coming to Spanish lately? But I'm establishing a friendship with one William Michael (real name William, goes by Michael) who now lovingly refers to me as "Jonas Brothers." Oh, life is fun. And I've been learning more and more how to love other people as Christ loved and how to show them the light of Christ, to preach, not just practice. Praise God for awesome people in my life! And for our gospel choir singing in chapel tomorrow. It's going to be amazing! We're singing with the jazz band this latino-y song. So fun!

Remember in my last entry how I said I was feeling bogged down? I prayed that night that God would work it all out in his time, so that I could get my school work done and that I could do a good job at daycare for His glory. Since that night I've gotten off work early every day and had plenty of time to get done all the work I need to. I've always been more patient with the kids and just had a really good couple of days at work.
Thank you God, for answering prayers. Thank you God for loving me even though I so don't deserve it. Thank you God, for living with me, for living near me even though I so often turn my back on you. I'm so sorry for not giving you the praise you deserve. I'm so sorry for not living my life in a way that glorifies you, in a way that's best for me. Thank you God, for not giving up on me and for loving me every day. Thank you God, for waking me up this morning and keep my family safe. Work it all out in your timing so that you get all the glory. Amen!

I made the Dean's List last semester (working 20-25 hours a week)! But this semester I am already feeling bogged down. I'm a little nervous. I know, I'm taking time out to update Lj, but I'm about to go to bed and don't want to start another assignment. I'm behind this week! I have everything written out in my planner and if I don't get it done on that day then it's more I have to do for the next day. The good thing is, I already did something that I was supposed to do tomorrow, and one thing that I didn't get done that was written down today is a paper that isn't due for months (and I did start it!). I just hope I don't end up exhausted. Especially with taking a week off for Honduras. Sigh. I will do it! And I will still have fun! And get a 4.0!!! Not because I'm superwoman, but because I have Christ in me and I believe I am capable through Him.
Now my mom just needs to e-mail the homework I did at home over the weekend so I can finish it! It was supposed to be done by tomorrow, but it's just reading (I take notes on the computer) so it isn't graded. I just like to be on top of things! Also, I left my phone charger at home. :/ I texted my mom last night but then Katelyn thought she might still have her's, so I told my mom not to mail it yet. Katelyn didn't have her's, but my mom didn't answer her phone when I called her tonight. Crazyyyy! Really nobody calls me though, I mostly just text Sarah and my mom. :P Alright, time to clear off the crap that always accumulates DAILY on my bed, climb in, and sleep for 7 and a half hours. :) My college life!
And really, the Jonas Brothers concert was amazing!!!

The Jonas Brothers concert was the most amazing thing I've ever attended. I said, "This is the best thing that's ever happened to me, besides Jesus, and the Jonas Brothers know Him, which makes it even better!"
Sarah said, "I have a boner." Really I was so h and they were so good. AHhhhhh. I just keep reliving every moment in my head (and occasionally out loud, which leads to much making fun of from my classmates).
I ♥ the Jonas Brothers and that's the darn truth. Favorite concert ever hands down forever I loved it.
( Over 30 pictures of the Jonas Brothers. )

Grayson went on a date last night.
When I first heard (which was him talking about it in Spanish class) I just wanted to cry. And stay in my room all night and watch a movie and cry. But I couldn't right then, because I was in Spanish class. Then we were doing fake interviews and I got distracted and had fun. Then I went to work and on the way there decided that I am not the girl who sits in her room and cries all night. At least not about a boy I hardly know. So I rocked out in the car on the way to work and just had fun. Work had its ups and downs, I'm a little impatient, and my back was KILLING me, so that I really was almost crying. Then after work I watched a movie (P.S. I Love You) with Erin and Katelyn. I know I've talked about that movie before, but seriously, it is just so good. Ohhh so good.
Yesterday was a really good day all in all. Katelyn and I got up to go to New Testament and just getting ready was fun because I got reminded of a song so I had to look it up on YouTube and then I kept singing it to Katelyn because it's called I'll Wait For You and that phrase kept coming up. Then we went to NT where our prof looks like Michael Scott( Prof looks like Michael Scott ) and we learned that the Greek guys used to all exercise naked together and that the reason Alexander the Great didn't have kids was because he spent all his time doing it with guys, like most of the Greek fellas. Apparently they'd have to be really drunk to actually spend time with their wives. Poor wives!
After that I went to her 9 o'clock class with her because there is this girl in there who always bites people's heads off and is really rude in class discussion. But of course, the girl didn't show up, so I just read some stuff for my next class. After that was class chapel, but the sophomore class chapel sucks, so we went to Freshment class chapel and sat with Shaun, Craig, and Adam. Grayson led worship so that was amazing. And this guy Brian sang too and he is just so good. Their worship band was just so cute; those little guys! Then their class chaplain spoke and Katelyn fell in love. So we'll be going to Freshmen class chapels from here on out! It was just way better than our's.
Lunch after that and that's always fun. Then Intercultural Communications with Craig and Amy, where I have a perfect view of the hotttt Basketball player! I don't know why basketball just got capitalized, but I guess it's just that important to me. After IC was Spanish, which started out a little rough, but then we did interviews in Spanish (entrevistas) and I was with Anna and Michael, so that was fun. Now I just have to finish up some homework, pack up, and drive home because tomorrow is the Jonas Brothers. :D And I decided that Grayson doesn't matter! I mean, he matters as a person, but it doesn't matter if he went out on a date with someone else, it doesn't matter if he falls in love with this someone else. God still has a plan for my life, and Grayson going out on this date does not effect the plan that God has for my life- it's still in place! I can rest on that. I can still get good grades (I made the Dean's List last semester! :D). I can still be the best darn daycare worker out there. It doesn't matter! I can still be Grayson's friend and I can still have a lot of fun in Spanish class.
I fully in God's arms because it's the only place I'm fully alive.

"You were born the wrong color in the wrong country."
Fact.
Sometimes I just feel so alone fighting an ignorant world. God is on my side though and I do believe I am living His will and it is my life's purpose to defend everything Jesus stans for. I will defend it, I will speak up, even in this world I'm standing alone.

[Tue, January 13th, 2009 @ 10:15pm] |
So I was all, "Suzanne, don't think about Grayson too much, because it'd be so much better to just enjoy his friendship! And if it goes further than that one day, then it will be wonderful and unexpected, but thinking about how much you like him only makes you nervous around him and then you don't act like a real person, but a lameohead. Also, thinking about what you don't have only makes you miserable, so don't focus on that! Just be his fun friend from Spanish class!"
Then he played guitar and sang in chapel. Ohhh this kid is killing me!

February 1
i just got an 86% on my humanities test! :)

June 1
Today was a parents' appreciation BBQ for all the families of the summer staff &all the famililes that were housing summer staff. Tanae &I put Mulla as our last name on our name tags. Susan &Rob were there &they said, "We are your family!" Hah. But then we got real sad &missed our own families. But I just got off the phone with my mom not too long ago. All systems are a go for Honduras! I'm not sure if I updated about that yet, but in February I'm finally going to Honduras!!!!!! We are staying in a hotel, but it's not a nice one, &I'm not sure what we'll be doing because right now they have a church &are in the process of building the orphanage. They're going to have little cottages with 12 kids each &I think as many house parents as they can so that they can rotate a couple couples (hah) within each cottage. It'd be cool if we got to work on those buildings!! Preacher is buying the plane tickets like, today, so my dad said if I really want to go he'll give Preacher the money &I'll pay them back when I can (which will probably be at the end of the summer; it's about $500). I'm so thankful to have parents who are so supportive of what I want to do. They know that I am all about Honduras. I do have to miss school though. :( But as long as I plan ahead &tell my professors &keep up with my work I'll be okay.
July 1
Hahaahahahahhhahhaaa. Michael &me looking so good.
August 1
Too much happens. Tuesday night were the overnights. Every grade &gender had their separate overnights at separate houses. Only Jess &I had our's together (7th &8th grade girls). That was fun. We just talked for a couple hours, ate pizza, &watched Hairspray. Fun fun! On Wednesday Jess, Tanae, &I went to dinner at the LeDuc's. They have three girls, a sixth grader, Karen, a senior, Miriam Rose, &a sophomore, Julie but she's at violin camp all summer. It was really good fun &a super encouraging meal. We were there for over 3 hours &it was just a huge blessing. Really great conversation with some amazing amazing people. At the end we had a family prayer &everyone was prayed for. So nice! Ah, so nice.
September 1
Sarah's layout! &even though on her computer the header isn't completely centered, I'm still pretty proud of it. :)
October 1
I don't know how I always get blessed with the most phenom jobs, but I do! My new daycare job is wonderful. I adore everyone I work with (that I've met so far) and the kids are just so cute and full of personality. And there was one white kid in my room today and one yesterday. :P I've been in the infant room this week but my boss, Ms. Jeannie, said that that might not be where I am permanently. Yesterday I was in the toddler room for like, 2 seconds while Mr. Richard had to go to the bathroom and I LOVED it in there. I just loved interacting with the kids (6 boys!) even for a few minutes, so I hope I get to go in there eventually. But I do love the babies. One baby, Darius, bawls incessantly unless you are holding him, so since I'm not counted for ratio yet since it's only my first week I've basically been in charge of Darius. Yesterday he layed his head on my knee while I sat and played with the other kids and today he actually crawled around and played with some toys, but if I even moved, he'd start crying. It's weird to be that needed. I just love it though. :D
November 2
My weekend was phenom. Straight up epic.
December 1
Saturday my sister, mom and I went shopping at the mizzall! Julie and I picked out some boss Christmas presents! I am getting duckie slippers, cute tights, cute boots, this sweeeet thug life NBA hoodie, and some basketball shorts. Can't wait! :P

I really do think very highly of myself.
Today's worship in chapel was so amazing. I didn't realize how much I missed worship, but believe me, it is a powerful thing to hear every student and faculty member at your school singing, "He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave. Our God is might to save." Oh, it's so true. He is so powerful and huge and soo above us, but I have absolutely nothing to fear, nothing to dread, because He loves me.
We sang, "Take me as you find me, all my fears and failures. Fill my life again. I give my life to follow everything I believe in. Now I surrender."
Powerful.
Oh, I think I want to write a song. No, I know I want to write a song. Well, the lyrics anyways. I don't know how to write music (I mean, I don't know how to play music, so why would I know how to write it?). I'll just write some words and give them to someone and see what they come up with. Should be fun!

[Tue, January 6th, 2009 @ 7:31pm] |
I keep putting off updating about this weekend because there's so much to tell. Let's see how I do now. Well, for New Years all I did was go to this dinner at my church (which was AMAZING, in reference to the food and the company). Then I played euchre with my family. I was going to go out to Ryan Ellis but I fell asleep and didn't wake up until after 10 and then it was too late to drive over an hour away, because I'd have to drive back early early and drive to Maryland.
So then on Thursday I picked up Tanae and we were off! The ride there was pretty uneventful. I mean, we talked and that was nice. We got to Kristy's and there were a million people there, most of whom didn't know we were coming. It was fun. Met some new Tech friends, Tanae got engaged and I interpreted dreams. Katelyn was HILARIOUS. Oh my gosh. I can't even describe how funny this girl is. She was cracking everyone up. The next day we hung out at Kristy's and talked (we being me, Kris, Meredith, Jess, Tanae, and Nate). Early in the afternoon Tanae and I left for the Mulla's. It was so weird how natural it felt to be there, like nothing changed. Jamshed made us eat wasabi, straight up. Disgusting. Never do it. After hanging out a bit we went over to Greg Glenn's farm. It was pretty bossy. There were some cool people there, and we got to go up on the Widow's Walk (kind of like a balcony on top of the house). His house is slamming. I want a huge old house like that one day. Then we had a huuuggge bonfire. This is how we lit it: Jake and David climbed up the silo (in the dark!) with a rope, then they lit a bottle of wine on fire and sent it down the rope into the humongous pile of wood. Pretty sweet.
Tanae and I left around 8 to go to Taco Bell. Haha, because we're lame. We took it back to the Mulla's and watched Planet Earth with Jamshed until it was time for bed. On Saturday we slept in forever because there are no windows in the basement bedroom! Watched some Real Housewives marathon with Jamshed (and he had a cow tongue sandwhich for lunch). Jess and Mer came over and we all went out to dinner at Le'Madeline's. Soooooo good. We talked for a long time and it was really nice. Then we got dessert at Sprinkle's (it didn't close!) and went to the party at Betsey's! We got to see everyone! Well, almost everyone. Neither Michael was there and Liz wasn't there, and neither was Antony, but everyone else was! It was gooood seeing everyone. I played Take 2 with a bunch of people and drank a bunch of pop and showed off my new tattoo. Some more new friends there. :) Also, Anina and Betsey might do staff again next summer, and Michael Ramsey might too!! (<3) Stoked about that. Jess and Mer spent the night like old times and it was fab.
Sunday morning we all got ready like old times! Then we went to church and saw Linsey! <3 And all of our girlies. It was soo fun to see how much our girls have grown up just over the past few months. And they like, swarmed us. So fun. Linsey, Jess, and I knew that we couldn't sit quietly through service, so we went to college class. :P It's so neat just being around people from the summer. It's like everyone from summer staff is constantly sharing some inside joke. Oh, I adore those people. After church we went out to eat at Chipotle and Greg Glenn said the cutest thing about my eyes. First he asked if they were naturally that blue and I told him they were. He said, "They're like the Caribbean Sea, like paradise, like a place where people want to be in your eyes." I swooned! Haha. Oh, Greg Glenn. And the night before Susan had asked, "Are there ever times when you just have a little crush on Greg Glenn?" That was a time! Because he's so sincere about everything he does.
Anywho, all the girls took a picture at Chipotle and then had a group hug. Jess reminded us that that was how we started out the summer on our first staff retreat. Memories. <3 Then Tanae and I changed out of our church clothes in the parking garage and headed back home! Monday I did nothing and now I'm back at school. Today I went to call my mom but I accidentally called Michael Ramsey because he's right above her in my contacts list. So when it hit his voicemail and I heard, "Hey, this is Michael," I just hung up. So then he called me back and I told him that it was an accident and he was like, "Oh, I feel the Michigan love!" And I said, "Hey, I was right by your house this weekend and you didn't even see me!" But I know he was out of town with his family. So then I said, "I heard you might be doing staff again." He said, "Maybe. Are you?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "Perfect! Then we might be seeing each other a lot this summer!" He just said how great it was/would be and hiss laugghhh!! Ah. My heart was all a flutter. :P
But now I have to call some number to get a new passport because I lost mine, and for anyone who is keeping track, I am going to Honduras in 5 weeks. :/ Classes so far are pretty standard. They actually seem kind of boring and I'm terrified of the work load! But I'm getting pretty lucky (or blessed!) with my book situation. I found a guy online who has three books I need, so I'm renting all three from him for $25. Seriously a sweet deal. Then I got 2 other books from another guy, 1 book from a girl, 1 book I'm sharing with Katelyn, and 2 books I already had. :D That just leaves two books to buy, some class notes to buy, and a couple more books to figure out. But really I have loan money to pay for book, it's just nice to see how little I can spend. I also am renting out three books (so far) so that'll be cash flow too. I love our school's little system.
Sorry I don't have pictures from this weekend (and of my blonde hair!) but Anina hasn't put them on Facebook yet.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty good at putting together a fly outfit in 4 minutes. Right now I'm wearing a combination never worn (by me) before and it looks cute. Striped silver and purple shirt (just bought the other day for $5) that's kind of like a bubble top, white 3/4 sleeve sweater, long gold necklace with a bunch of crazy charms on the end (got for Christmas) and a thick white headband (bought yesterday and one of my new favorite things) and my hair natural, so crazy and kind of curly.
I'm about to go get my hair dyed, professionally, at a salon, for the first time. I'm pretty stoked. I actually don't have set plans for tonight. Ryan Ellis kind of invited me to go hang out with him and his friends. That sounds really fun and I really want to do that, but I haven't talked to him more about it since the initial, "What are you doing for New Years?" I don't wanna stay out too late because tomorrow I'm going to Virginia! :D And then Maryland. I am beyond stoked.

I met the love of my life last night- he was our waiter at Applebees. I'm ruining our chances though because today he's working at Target and I'm not there. Because I wanted to sleep and now I need to shower but I also need to dye my hair and I kind of want to do that first annnd I don't feel like doing my hair after I shower but I can't let it air dry because that looks ugly and I'll get pneumonia (sp?). But I do want to go shopping because I have gift cards to spend. I just need to get motivated! Or not, I mean, it's break.
( I want a puppy. )

If you're a girl and you've never seen P.S. I Love You go rent it right this second. Better yet, come over and watch it with me. Oh it is so heart wrenching, so beautiful, and such a picture of love. Ohh he loved her so much. Terrifying- to be married for 10 years and to have the love of your life to die, to leave, to be gone, terrifyingly heart wrenching.
"But, Suzanne, it's just a movie!" True, but it's real life at the same time. It's someone's life, and I hope that they're okay. The movie is dedicated to a woman who died at 35. I wonder if it's based on her. Based on the wonderful love that she left behind. Oh, it's so crazy wonderful. It's love and it's so big.
And God created it all. He is this big, tragic, scary, wonderful love that fills us up until we burst- burst into tears or burst out in joy. It's all from Him. He's so big and so wonderful. I'm broken in front of my King.

My sister is changing her name to James. Yes, that's a boy name, no it's not a phase.
Otherwise, it's been a really good Christmas Eve. Woke up to Taco Bell, frosted EIGHTY FIVE cookies (that will all be gone by the end of the week; I've already eaten about 5) watched Man vs. Wild (that guy is hot!) and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, then got my butt beat at euchre and Sorry. Good family fun. <3
