It's A Great Day In The Neighborhood!

Original Post: February 20, 2009

Today is a GREAT day for many reasons.

Reason #1: It is 11:10 right now and I am on my planning period, which means that I only have one more class and it's Alg II which is my favorite.

Reason #2: It's FRIDAY!!!

Reason #3: I have 8 days until I get married...YAY!!!!!!

Reason #4: As soon as school gets out I'm having all of my JV softball girls in my room to watch a video and then Ja is going to come and get me and we're heading to WINSTON!!!

Reason #5: Tonight we get to see Leslie, Will, and Banana Pants! She is amazingly ridiculous and one of my favorite little things in this world. I can't wait to just sit and watch her be so smart and so cute...but we have to be sure not to tell her that!

Reason #6: Tomorrow I get my hair did by Alex! He is amazingly talented with his scissors and his thumbs on the back of my head when he's washing my hair! All he's doing is a little trim and color, but he is a genius.

Reason #7: Tomorrow night I get to have to have dinner with Sherry!!! Once Sherry stopped working when she had William, we would have monthly marathon dinners. They usually start around 6 or 7 and then when the meal is over we head to the parking lot where we say our goodbyes that usually take about 2 hours. We just have so much in common and have shared so much with each other, so cramming a month into a meal is hard to do!!! Well tomorrow night will be the first Sherry and me dinner since I moved back to Wimington last summer. We have been up and have seen them, but the boys have been around, so that cuts down a bit on the 4 hour talks!! I am so excited to see her and to get to sit down and catch up!

Reason #8: Ja and I going to get pedicures on Saturday. I enjoy getting pedicures, but don't go often at all because I feel bad paying someone else to make my feet pretty. I know that's how they make a living, but I kind of feel like that is putting that person below me and it makes me feel awkward. Every once in a while I let my weirdness go and sit down and relax for a bit. Ja needs a pedicure so badly and has never had one, so we are going to spend an hour or so together just relaxing before next weeks craziness.

Reason #9: When we come back to school on Monday, I only have a three day work week!! We're taking Thursday and Friday off and we're heading to Wilmington Wednesday night. I can't wait to spend time with people and be able to tie up some loose ends in preparation for next weekend!!!!

Reason #10: This is my last weekend as a single girl...and I couldn't be happier. It feels pretty good to know that you have absolutely no desire to look anymore because you've found exactly what you want and need!!!
