Today is Evan's birthday, and, coincidentally, our two-month anniversary. In some ways it seems like no time has passed since we started dating, and in other ways it seems like forever. Sometimes it's hard to remember what it was like just being friends. Sometimes when he hugs me I want to pinch myself. I still find it amazing that God has blessed me so much, and when I was such a hopeless case. I know you're probably all tired of hearing this, but I want to say again to the other single people: it can happen to you. God is faithful. Really. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. It certainly wasn't based on anything I've done. But what is? :)
Anyway, tonight I'm taking him to dinner, and then we're going to the JLT (our new name for our Wednesday Bible study- the "Jean Larroux Thing") because that's what he wanted to do. Afterwards, Ryan and probably a couple of other people will come to the apartment for cake, which I made last night. It's chocolate with chocolate icing. I added a surprise, though. Hopefully he'll like it. If you want to send birthday greetings, go over to his journal and comment. He has never made a big deal out of his birthday (and even kept forgetting when it was), but I am determined that he celebrate this year. I'm such a mean girlfriend. :)
Random funny story: In our last year of college, Kathy and Em and I were making a birthday card one day for our friend Christoper. We became concerned that the graphics we used were too feminine, so on the back (where the Hallmark thing would go on a real card), we inserted a tiny picture of a bodybuilder with "Tough Man Cards" typed under it. Thus our "brand" of cards was born. Every card we made for anyone after that was a Tough Man Cards product. I remembered this last night while trying to select "masculine" graphics like trucks. Of course, I put the bodybuilder on the back after that. Maybe you had to be there, but I thought it was hilarious. LOL.
Praise: On Saturday I noticed that my Fossil watch, a gift from my grandfather, was missing. The last time I remembered wearing it was last week when we went to Murfreesboro. After looking everywhere and not finding it, I was afraid that I had left it in the hotel room. I knew my family would be upset, and plus, I really liked the watch. I prayed about it, and this morning I found it at the bottom of my purse. Yay God. :) (Hey, Jessica, maybe you'll find your glasses now.)
Icon: In anticipation of Return of the King, I have brought back the Queen of Gondor icon, redone. It's my favorite icon idea ever.
