sign

2008-06-09T12:50:22Z

So I'm not totally into signs because I'm sure I posted back in the day about how it went before....but to recap:

When I was discerning religious life....I was on my way to visit the Salesians (my favorite sisters) in NJ and I said to God tha tI wanted a sign...(someone told me to be specific with God when asking for a sign so,.,,,) I said "present me with a red rose if I'm meant to married life and a white rose if I'm meant for religiuos life"

I walk into my room at the convent and the rug on the floor is covered in PINK ROSES! Ya know....red+white=pink! God has such a sense of humor ok?

So last week on Thursday on my to or home frmo work I said "Ok God...Bruce and I have been together for about 5 months now and I need to know before we hit 6 months if this is still something you want me to pursue because I really am enjoying being with him but I'm not 100% sure if this is THE one so I'm not sure to continue dating bruce..."

So I wasn't specific at all, just told God that he needed to make it clear to me whether or not to continue going this route wiht bruce....later that night, andrea and I were driving around branford near the beaches after ice cream...

I slowed to a stop outside of this gorgeous house and said out loud "what a beautiful house, i love it!" and thought only in my head "i bet bruce would love this house" so we look at it then I start to move and I glance to my right and I saw this sign...I thought, "no way could tha thave been bruce's name on that sign" so I put the car in reverse so I can make sure....and there it is...Bruce Johnson Marina....Bruce's last nameisn't johnson...but I can not ignore the fact that he was on my heart and there his name was in plain sight!

I'm taking that as God's way to tell me to keep on trucking wiht dating Bruce! I told my mom an dshe smiled. I'm soo falling!!!

hiking and church....two new best friends!

2008-06-04T13:13:38Z

What does hiking have to do with Church? A whole lot more today than last week thats for sure. I went to Bruce's house after work and we went for a walk. Around the large block of wooster middle school. Soo no problem here's how the rest went down:
mid walk:
Me: i wish we had a destination that we were walking to...
Bruce: we do..
ME: where?
Bruce: we're going to go through the woods..
me: why?
-----------------------------
time elapses and we get to entrance of woods...I tell him once again that he's got me as a girlfriend at the totally wrong stage in my life. My tomboy outdoor dirty buggy type stage ended when my sister/mom finally succeeded in turning me into a girly girl. I told him "my mom and sister did a really good job of turning me into a girly girl" and his response "well I'm going to have to do a good job of turning you into a girly outdoorsy girl" I laughed SO hard. He wants to take me to Kent falls and all these places hiking and camping. Which I definitely look forward to doing wiht him but kinda don't like bugs and exercise! Haha!

The best quote even better than the girly girl quote was his response to me saying, as we were walking through buggy woods, "remind me to beat you up for this later..." and he said "well you make me go to church.."

And I defended myself saying "I don't make you....I just ask you if you'd like to come and you come" He agreed and said "well at least I go" and I thought...wow he's right...so if this is the trade off, how awesome is that! He becomes a church goer, and I become a hiker/camper....Cant be too bad right? Everyone wins...his soul is enhanced through the grace of Mass and possible conversion through the sacraments...and my body gets healthier by excercising.

slightly annoyed

2008-06-03T15:57:28Z

so all is well and good...i go to holy hour last night, jason and bruce and frank go somewheres...after social night is over I text bruce and say "where are ya" and he says that the boys took a trip to the mall...so I say oh what did ya get and he says a shirt....ok cool lets meet up/hang out yadda yadda right? Ok so they needed to come to the parking lot at church to get their own cars so I had left but came back to meet them...I ask to see what Bruce got and he gives a face... like oh boy....and I said "why...do I not want to see what you bought?" and he reluctantly takes it out of the bag,,,

I automatically knew what it was when we began to unfold it to show me. I walked away. There is this new thing around that in the spirit of the Moutain Dew logo, someone decided to be crude and put the words "Mount and Do Me" in the same writing and colors. This was the shirt he got. Is he kidding me? Clearly he ain't wearing it around me, and as his girlfriend I'm a little ticked that he would wear it at all....cuase who is that even pointed to? Obviously, he aint getting any from me, and hopefuly that means he aint gettin it frmo someone else. And obviously that just totally defeats the need for a shirt that has such a degrading message about sex. Mount and do me? Are you kidding me? ticked...so I finallly texted him on my way home that I didn't really like the shirt...and now its 12noon today and still haven't heard from him on facebook or via cell...

but the other day on facebook h e did add the speed date application....we're approaching the 5 month mark...is he confused about this whole relationship/dating/exclusiveness thing?

ONLY IN FAIRY TALES DO DREAMS COME TRUE

2008-05-21T15:59:36Z

Seriuosly? I'm slowly coming to terms wiht the fact...or honestly, slowly becoming bitter about the fact that I will not marry my first love.

I'm also really confused about a lot of things. My mind has just serioulsy been mush the past two days. It's like I can do nothing if it's not school work. or being a zombie. I had such a great weekend spiritually with going to Sam's ordination, and getting to confession before his first mass on Sunday with Fr. Dave (like old times) and then getting to Mass twice on Sunday! It was just beautiful to hear Father Sam (hehe) saying Mass.

Oh hey...should I go to confession again though? I found this book on the free giveaway table at St. James that was all about the promotion of a women priesthood and all that and I took it (since it was offered for free) and burned it at bruce's house. I'm sorry, not toffend anyone, but I firmly DO NOT believe that the Church should ever change it's teachings on the priesthood. and thats my deal.

Anywho...since the whole wonderful weekend ended, I've been totally zombie-ish. I'm just soo confused about every aspect of my life, except school. And all in all, school is driving me nuts!

God is GOOD~!

2008-05-15T13:59:13Z

So aside from this whole two papers in two weeks a presentation/group meeting every week, overwhelmed feeling...God is so good!

Onec Psychology is over :( ....I have to take Humanities in another co-hort (a whole different gorup than my normal class)...and then I'mdone till August. Yes thats good but I really didn't want to have to go through this hwole drop in thing cause most cohorts are very settled, and very much a tight knit group and acepting drop ins isn't always top priority! So...I decided to check on the class members online to see if possibly it was the cohort that I thought it might be...including a kid who dropped in with my group for Speech Communications. I figured if I at least knew him, and could possibly join his learning team, that would clear my anxiety about the class.

SO HE WAS IN THE LIST!!! SO I emailed my good ol' buddy Jefff to ask if I can be in his LT and he says yes it will be me, him, and another drop in!! YAY!!!! So on top of that, it's being taught by my favorite teacher who did my 2 english classes SO YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh Yale!

2008-05-05T14:10:10Z

So I really wanted to get this job working as a Senior Admin. Assistant in my mom's building. Clearly very high level people who appreciate people like me who work their BUTT off! So I really wanted to work there and be appreciated, ya know? Plus it is getting more and mroe difficlut to work in this atmosphere where continually we are finding out that our patients are dying! SO HARD!

And I submitted my resume for a D level last year...and got shut down, but now I'm back in college and with another year of Yale Experience under my belt I tried again since the job in my mom's office (not working for her tho) AND GOT SHOT DOWN AGAIN!!

Then my mom and I re-did my resume and I attempted to re-apply and it wouldn't let me...so per my mom's advice I emailed the HR lady that I got the SHOT DOWN notice from, with my new updated resume and requesting a meeting if it still wasn't foirwardable for that job.

I really want to move up. Soooo the lady just called me and we set up a meeting to go over what makes a resume forwardable and not forwardable AND to map out a CAREER PLAN!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-04-29T15:39:40Z

LOST . Is the only way I can describe what I feel right now. The only thing is, I'm basically tired. not just oh, I need sleep tired, but I'm well roundedly tired. I'm tired of going going going. I'm tired of EVERYTHING.

I just feel so weighed down. I need a retreat. Really bad. I just want to hang out with Jesus for an entire weekend. I want to go to PA to see my sister and her new house. and her belly.

trust me there is pleny awesome things that i'm excited about in my life right now. I just feel like I don't get the chance to enjoy it really because i'm rushing through life.

i'm so exhausted physically and emotionally and i'm my brain is still stuck in Sunday but its Tuesady and I have class tonight. I just want to scream and eat lunch.
so much to do and no time and no brain!

2008-04-25T12:39:18Z

angilla: no comments on last post? BUMMER! I'll respect that and not even go there. I was going to put my comment in here, but I realize that would be oh so selfish of me, since you made it clear you didn't want reactions on that post!

This week has been crazy! All I've seen is my bed and my mom for like a half hour at home this week. a) things at work have been strange nothing too bad, just strange. b) I've been running around all week. (Monday: work 8-4:30, home to get cell phone, out to stratford for the night; tuesday work same time, class till 10 including 2 speeches and final exam; Wednesday:work, home shower and got ready, out to stratford for jason's b-day dinner and cake after, hung out with bruce after that; Thursday: work, Albertus to get my psych book, branford library to do homework and meet with learning team, get chinese food, home to eat, out to milford for ice cream with rita)

And it never stops, Today I'm working all day, then going to stratford for the talent show. Then tomorrow its making a trifle and pasta salad for jason's party, go shopping for jason, bob and phil, take my grandmother to see her sisters, then go to the party.

I think I might have to turn down the talent show.

Pope/Boyfriend/Friends/life

2008-04-18T13:05:55Z

so

I am possibly going to the see the Pope all weekend. Maria has tickets for the youth rally so Natali and I might be going.

Boyfriend: Adorable. I get to see him tonight and he worked till 10pm last night from 8am so I hope he's not cranky/tired/miserable.

Friends: Need more. I want to extend mycircle of friends but it's impossible to do because I'm always with the same people. And not having matching schedules with some friends stink!!

Life: is good, crazy because I'm behind in reading for school and Monday is our last class and I have to do TWO speeches. One informational with visual and one persuasive with visual! AHH! And lots of studying for the final. Yuck!

it's finally happening!

2008-04-12T16:04:52Z

I finally feel again. I lost it for a long long time. When something touching happens or I read it or hear it, i get chills again. I am moved to tears again. I don' tknow what happened, but I have that slightly back and it's amazing. Like the door to my soul is open again. Gosh so much has changed....

...how come never wrote this down before so I would know, we could all know, what it's like to grow up. It just happens. Before you know it, one day your wishing for people to treat you like an adult and then you wake up one morning, at 9am on a saturday....to run errands....because you have no choice but to get it done. And to realize that life is only what YOU make it! Wow! I'm just in awe that no one ever told me how it happened, it just happened. Like last year I was in such a rut and now that I've ben coming out of it for a while and just getting back to enjoying life, I'm a grown up. I think I missed out on the last parts of being young. But I'm going to get it back somehow. And yea....I'm so happy now. I think I finally got my true smile back!

so glad!

2008-04-09T14:53:10Z

Bruce woke up today feeling all better! THANK GOD! And since he got a note from MEDNOW clinic place to stay home from work todya, and its gorgeous out, he's home working on the boat!!

I'm glad cause he's been dying to work on it! I'm praying that stacey applies for some yale jobs because that'd be awesome! not only would i have a lunch buddy in addition to my mom, but then we wouldn't have this problem of her working at night and not being able to hang out when i'm out of work, and her being lonely when she's not at work!

Sister

2008-04-07T12:59:40Z

My sister is 10 weeks pregnant. just so you know and now I've got sympathy cravings. She was finally able to eat again last week because the nausea finally stopped, but randomly last week I started eating and really wanting peanut butter cups....and i usually don't eat that..so after a whole week, I was like what the heck is up with that? so I called Pamela just for the heck of it yesterday to ask her if she's been craving peanut butter at all...to find out she went through an entire jar last week....eating peanut butter sandwiches because she can't really eat meat (it grosses her out right now) and she's been relying and craving peanut butter for protein~!! I told her that I'm going to hit her if I gain weight with her through her pregnancy because I'd get mad....but gosh, sympathy cravings? I don't know if I could handle this!! Especially since all I want in life is to be a wife and mom!!

in case you ddin't know...

2008-04-06T18:06:10Z

Bruce convinced me to buy a bicycle back in the beginning of march ors omething so I got one. We went out for our first bike yesterday! It was soooo adorable. He came over my house, put air in the tires o fhis bike and mine, flipped my wheel because for some reason my front wheel was on backwards. Then we rode up and down the street so he can help me adjust the gears to a good general point, then we put them in the truck and headed to stoneycreek. That is the beach down the street from me. it was warmer and the sun was set but the sky was awesomely pretty still!! We rode around and up/down hill...he told me how and when and why to change the gears, and we did pretty good.

Then we came home and I made him a grilled cheese and both of us soup! When I started to cook, he was like man i'm gonna have to cook for you soemday...i don't know what, but i'll make something...i thought that was so cute. I reassured him that it was okay, I just like to cook! I do think it would be cute. I imagine he could make mac and cheese or something! hehe!

Wow, this is strange!

2008-03-25T19:34:40Z

Wow, I made it! I didn' even cheat and go on here on Sundays!!

So here's an update:

Still dating Bruce...just over 2 months now. he wins. V-day he got me a teddy bear and roses and took me to dinner. My first real date that I've been dying for my entire life!

He came to the house picked me up, took me to the restaurant, paid, took me home...oh it was just wonderful!
I don't think he tries but he just ends up saying the sweetest things. He inadvertantly called me a princess last night. He makes me smile.

Enougha bout him: MY SISTER IS PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8wks as of today!! I found out in the beginning of March. So I'm an aunt! YAY!!!!!!!!!!

And life in general is a roller coaster. I want to learn how to discern things, but life is going so fast that I feel like I don't have time to even truly learn what is means to discern and on top of that, actually discern stuff. Which makes me feel like I have no idea if I am doing what God wants! Between school/work/youth ministry/boyfriend...life is speeeeding by me.

leaving!

2008-02-06T20:41:42Z

hey yall...

i'm off lj for lent. that's not the only thing I'm doing cause that's not that big but I have to do what I have to do. I need less distraction!

So I'm on facebook and email and that's it~ kfollo@gmail.com

THIS MIGHT BE LONG...warning

2008-02-04T14:58:40Z

So (cause all important things I have to post about start with so), I'm in a bit of a rut and don't even know what to do.

For real, I'm having a mini life crisis. When you are sitting with your boyfriend, your new boyfriend, and all of a sudden you get a FLASHBACK of your old boyfriend. A few times in a row this has happened. I want to be over that so badly. I am scared because this thought came to me yesterday while on my way to pick up bruce...."what if I'm struggling because the comfort that Bruce has around my family and friends and at my house, and all of the things that bruce does that I really like, I really just wanted from Matt"

I know when we broke up, I said that I didn't want to break up with Matt, it's just what I had to do. And now, I have someone who basically all the things I needed from Matt, but it's like I'm mad. Because I was already comfortable with Matt. Why couldn't he just stand up and be the man I wanted/needed him to be. Am I really still talking about this?

I am freaking out. I wanted it to be him. I really wanted it to be him. WOW. 5 months later, coming to this realization, while I'm now dating someone new. What is wrong with me? You'd think I could just be happy to finally have a guy that I've been lookin for. But now I just wish it were someone else? Am I losing my mind?

I really like Bruce. I'm happy when we're together. It's when we get to certain moments when he kisses me or something happens a certain way, I get this flashback of matt thing. That makes it really difficult for me to be happy when I'm aroud him or look forward to being around him. It sucks! I've never felt this way before. I don't want my past to dictate my future. I don't want my past relationship to ruin this one. But how can it not? I feel bad for thinking about matt when I'm with Bruce, like it's rude. And on top of that, do I keep it to myself or do I share it with Bruce? Do I tell him that I'm still not over Matt? That I still haven't let go completely? How do I explain that after 5 months, I still can't keep Matt out of my head. Do I talk to Matt about it? Ask him if he's having the same thing? How would Bruce feel if he found out I was talking to Matt...all of these things are RACING through my brain.

I just want to scream. I also want to cry but haven't been able to! Go figure. On top of this, I found out that my household sister Amanda, that I was uber close with, her dad passed away yesterday morning. He fell off of something and was unable to feel the left side of his body and as of saturday still had no feeling, but was able to move his fingers and toes. Amanda said he was offering up his suffering for all household sisters. (AMAZING!) but then something happened in the middle of the night and he died. Really, I should be able to cry.

I'm thinking that tonight, I will just go home after work and go to the chapel by my house for adoration then try to get some homework done. Maybe in the privacy of the chapel there I can let all my tears out and journal and read some scripture. Maybe I'll just hang with Jesus all night there!

i post less

2008-01-29T16:12:41Z

i think i'm posting less because all the random stuff in my brain is getting put into journal entries for school.

But yea. this past weekend was great. friday...i think bruce and i were going to play pool but he ended up coming over. hmm yea I ate chinese food and did homework and he hang out wiht me and watched movies while I did my homework. It was cute. Then Saturday, I woke up early, showered/got ready, even did my hair and makeup and met Bruce at his house to go to the memorial service for jay's uncle. That was a really nice Mass. Then Ihad to rush home after to do my online school meeting. Then I had the strongest urge to cook. So I made chicken cutlets...and then I ran to the store to get the stuff to make a Trifle for Jason's house.

That was a nightmare but it came out great supposedly! Next time I'm listening to my boyfriend and just making cookies. But the get together at Jason's was fun cause I watched little kids run around the little house!

After the family left, we watched "i now pronounce you chuck and larry"
it wasn't too bad...but it wasn't 100% great or anything.

Sunday I woke up, hung out with the family all day, made my mom go to two open houses. we fell in love twice

then dinner. we ate the chicken cutlets i made...they were awesome!

Then I met up with everyone at St. James to carpool to WESTPORT for Teen Mass and Concert/Pizza dinner with Insight. Bruce came. Even though he should think I'm crazy now, he still with me so that's a good sign! ;-) It makes me appreciate him so much for just being there with me in things I enjoy even though he'd rather be elsewhere.

then last night after holy hour, I had a headache and just wanted to go home. instead of the original "go to windmill with bruce for hot dogs" plan and so bruce just came over. I really like spending itme wiht him and I'm pretty sure he really likes my house cause he always wants to come over. it's fun. 2 weeks and 2 days. it feels like longer cause its so comfy.

I know, I know, I already posted about Bruce and I being official but...

2008-01-25T15:20:27Z

this is MY journal so I'm going to do it again!

It's crazy to me to think that it's only been almost 2 weeks. Seriously, things are so comfortable, I feel like we've been dating for 2 months. Well I mean, We kinda unofficially were. We hung out, held hands, did date like things, acted like a couple so I guess that helped it.

But really...the other night, Phil and Bruce came over for dinner/movie...and my step brother was over. So it was me, bob, bruce, phil and chris. my was at meetings late so she wasn't there. I made soup and grilled cheeses on the griddle. I had so much fun being the homemaker! But in the middle of the soup eating, there's bruce slurping....loud...it didn't bother me, it made me smile. I was so glad that he's so comfortable in any situation to just be himself.

Then when we went downstairs and sat on the couch together, chris looked at him and was like "you're always smiling why are you always smiling?"

I was like, "cause he's happy, there's nothing wrong with that" and I hoped partially that he was smiling all the time cause he likes spending time with me:)
Sometimes when we hang out alone, we don't talk all that much....but still it's nice sometimes to just sit. Mostly I end up praying while holding hands....that's my favorite time! I think I had a dream that he told me he'd come to church all the time now. I wish he would, even tho I know he doesn't really get it cause he participates in nothing. But hopefully something is happening in his heart. I trust that God will care for him. I really like him a whole lot . I met his dad. his dad is soo russian. YAY!

school assigment

2008-01-16T15:06:16Z

Part of my weekly assignment for my college writing class is writting 3 times a week in a journal on the amc website. WOOHOO!

I'm like the only one in the class that knew what to do with it! YAY for getting graded on journal!

But seriously, we have to write for 5 minutes each time on anything we want!

i THINK at some point this week I'll post about Bruce on the school thing. I can't believe he's my boyfriend. It wassooo crazy. but last night texting him during class was cute.

i just hope we start talking on the phone more! but we'll see! I think right now we're just getting comfortable with each other!

IT HAPPENED

2008-01-14T16:30:24Z

Confusion is OVER. Relationship has begun!

Last night, as I was about to get in my car to leave Jason's house, Bruce and I were hugging and he puled back, looked at me and said "Kristina, will you go out with me?" and I smiled and said sure. We kissed, and then I was like ok its cold I have to go....it was snowing and I dind't have my jacket on...and he was like ok goodnight.

So I was in shock and texted catie and texted him. I text him saying "so your like my boyfriend now?"
and he didn't respond cause he was already sleeping. So I got nervous that he didn't respond. But today he text me "i sent you a message on facebook, but in case you didn't get it yet, yes I'm your boyfriend now"

So I get all gidddy and go to facebook and see the message "yes I'm your boyfriend now"
and get even more giddy. and his mood is happy and yea I'm excited. There is something still that feels funny or different about it...i haven't figured that out yet but we'll see. I'm trying to just not get overwhelmed by terms and classifications and keep things the way they've been cause that's been pretty sweet. This is all so new and different!
so yea. I responded to his text by saying well thats exciting, i got nervous when you didn't respond last night and thats when he told me was already sleeping when I sent it so he got it this morning. :)

I have this big cheeseball smile on my face. And for once, I was really excited to tell my mom. I've never been excited to tell my mom about my relationships. But I finally feel like I'm dating someone that she more than approves of.

so i'm lookin forward to seein him tonight before holy hour...and probably after too...maybe today will be the day i convince him to come to the chapel...heheh I'll pray!

umm?

2008-01-14T05:15:45Z

I'm a little confused. Something happened tonight. That I will elaborate more on tomorrow most likely once I clear things up. I asked a question via text to clarify but got no response so I'm just confused. I don't want to say anything until I clear things up but for real? I'm so confused I had to post about my confusion.

If the clarifying makes me right, then Yay. But still woah. goodness!!!!

so frustrated~!

2008-01-07T16:33:52Z

So I'm frustrated. Yes very frustrated and the one thing I want to do... WELL 2 things...I can't do because of school

I have to put together all the pieces of our paper, which i could have done yesterday. except my fmaily decided we were going toNY and Bob's computer (remember my mom's crashed) wasn't allowing anyone to log IN to any website. Which means I couldn't get everyone's work to do my work. So I was going to use my uncle's computer last night to do it but he was all rushing me and annoying and so bruce came over. I really like him.
The other night, I almost started "the talk" but literally bit my tongue. I'm so torn now as to whether or not we need to have "the talk" about where are relationship/friendship/whatever it is called IS...like what IS it? or is it just nothing? either way I'm fine but I want to KNOW. This whole I don't know thing is starting to bother me.

And, I want to figure it out before everyone under the sun starts asking...cause they already are.
I ALSO REALLY WANT TO GO TOT HE CHAPEL tonight but have to stay at worka nd do my homework!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR! I miss my friends! i know i just saw catie and the teens saturday and bruce last night but knowing tha ti can't see people is the one thing i hate most!

new year's...sooo unusuual

2008-01-02T16:37:57Z

so..new years at my house.

Jason and Bruce came over Monday afternoon around 2:30ish to set up the ball in my driveway for the ball drop thing. Set that up then Jason headed back to stratford. Bruce and I hung out, I prepared a little for the party, then I took him to Twin Pines diner. My childhood diner....he wanted homefries and was starving and I had just eaten chinese food so we went and he ate. Then we went to Walmart, found a pool hall behind it...I started to get cranky cause I was super tired and Walmart didn't have ANYTHING I wanted.

So we headed over to Stop and shop. SOOO SPECIAL! We passed the chip isle like 6 times. (I know the grocery store like the back of my hand, i'm in LOVE with grocery stores, and grocery shopping) And usually when I'm distracted by Bruce, he's not actually present so I can explain that to whoever I'm with...but here we are finally in the chip isle. We agreed that we couldn't believe that we had trouble getting to it..and I was like "I'm sorry I'm distracted" and he was like hmm ok. my bad!

After shopping we went home, I cut up the cheddar cheese/put stuff away. Then we watched Speed 2! (Not my favorite but shh) After that we went upstairs and put some music on and hung out/got things ready for peopleto come. And waited. Catie and Jason came, then shocker, Dan came. Shortly after Dan came, he handed his keys to Jason (telling us all that he was staying over) BIG SHOCKER because Dan is the kinda person who doesn't EVER stay for an entire event. My mom decided that he just needed to be somewhere peaceful. I agree. It was nice having him around for a change. Spending time with Bruce was nice too.

I love having people over. So it was small, but fun. We watched the ball drop on TV, had some champagne (ICK) then went outside to watch our own ball drop! It was soooo cute! Video on facebook! Then we came back in, watched Licensed to Wed (not a big huge fan of that) and shortly after that we all went to bed.

Sunday, we woke up, ate breakfast and Bruce stayed to spend most of the day watching movies wiht me. It was precious! :) And last night we moved our non-relationshp ahead one step...I texted him tha tI had a really good time all day yesterday and he said he did too and such and he said why...and I said "less crazy than new year's eve and I like spending time with you" and he responded "I like spending time with you too"
On top of all of that, my mom saw us holding hands yesterday. oops. oh well.

Merry CHRISTmas!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I got the best gift ever last night. Well lots of great gifts. I think Thanksgiving should come right after Christmas.
(except not the eating part!!)

After a fun night playing pool and such, jason blurted out the question i've been thinking. to me and bruce in my car: "so can call you a couple now?" i said no as in "you can't just call us a couple wihtout our discussing it and giving you permission" sort of way. But I didn't really know what to say!!

Sooo then he came to Church last night. Yea. Bruce came to Church and sat next to me. It was one of the best Christmas presents ever because I actually said to God a week or so ago that I don't want anything else but for him to come to Church at least once. So it happened. God is so amazing!!! As soon as I went upstairs to pray that God's will be done for Bruce coming to Church.... that when I came downstairs to check my phone, I had a message from jason that he was definitely coming. God is jus tsoo good! I hope everyone comes to my house later. between 4-5 come on over for the night to just chill/hangout. we'll have desserts and stuff and so come on down!
