there's no better time than today

Well, the Big Weekend is here at last. Evan's parents are arriving sometime today, and tomorrow night our families will meet. I really, really hope all goes well. Sunday is Ryan's college graduation, which I will attend just long enough to see him walk before jetting back to church for the Christmas concert and my first concert solo ever. (Lawson, if the grad school goes first, I'll get to see you too. Otherwise, no.)

I am going to a wedding next Saturday- one of Kathy's church friends'. I was surprised to be invited because I hadn't talked to her in a while. Now that I know so much about the burden of weddings, at first I thought maybe I wouldn't go as a favor to her. :P However, Evan's going to be out of town and I'll need something happy to do. So I'm going. It'll be fun, but there's another present to get. I just made a list of the presents I still need to buy (Christmas, wedding/anniversary, and graduation) and it has struck fear in my heart. I'll have to start taking money out of savings soon.

Evan will be away for ten days over Christmas, visiting his parents (they come here, then he goes there). I'm trying not to be bummed about it. There will be other Christmases, and he'll be back before New Year's. :) However, I'm going to be lonely and bored. It's a sad day when you realize your boyfriend is pretty much the only friend who wants to spend time with you. At least my sister is in town now. Em and her Daniel are coming after the 25th, so maybe they'll be free sometime. I figure I'll get a lot of scrapbooking done, and rent movies I want to see but don't want to burden Evan with, such as Bend It Like Beckham. Maybe I will also work on my 2003 CD so I can get it out before January.

Has anyone seen the Veggie Tales Ballad of Little Joe? I saw it at Target yesterday and thought it looked funny. I like talking vegetables. I also saw these shoes and wanted them instantly, but I have 1) no money and 2) too many Mary Jane-type shoes already. (Hey, tingilya, notice the name - I thought of you.)

Three months today. Has it really been that long? Has it really been that short? :)

Grad school does graduate first (for each college.) So, since Ryan is in the College of Business, you'll see me first. :)

Yay!

Have a great weekend! I'm looking forward to hearing about it next week.

The one good thing about Evan being gone for 10 days is that it is a designated time that you KNOW you are alone so you can just accept it and make the best of it. I have more trouble with the times when I think I might get to see Jonathan but then I don't. When I know there's nothing I can do to change a situation, I have an easier time at using it for good. Do everything girly that you can think of. :)

Yeah, and that way you can plan things to do instead of trying to keep your schedule free in case you see him.

Thanks Beth! I'm glad you like hearing about my girly activities. :)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's definitely true. I tend to way overreact when things are up in the air. And it will be good to have a little time to myself. I have many girly plans. :)

[moredetails.livejournal.com]

Yes! I do that, too (try to keep my schedule free). I think I might be a loser. :)

First of all, you can never have too many shoes!

And good luck w/your solo :)

I've seen that Veggie Tales movie. That's actually how we got Eric & Wendy's son to say my name, lol. "Jo! C'mon Logan, I know you can say Jo!"
Anyway, it's pretty funny...& it has the BEST "silly song" in there. They spoofed Backstreet Boys/'N SYNC & it's just to die for, lol. I watch that whole thing just for that part ;D
