L-O-V-E

Yesterday my roommates were talking about those 3 little words that seem to mean so much more than their size! As they were talking about the words "I Love You" I got to thinking about what those words mean to me, and how I know that I'm in love! How I can tell the difference of being IN love and Loving someone. This is what I came up with!

I know I'm in love when:

• Everything I do, I do with him in mind.
• I can't wait to see him each and every day.
• I hate saying good bye at the end of each night.
• I wonder how his day is.
• I worry about him.
• I want to be the best I possibly can for him.
• Every time I see him, I smile.
• When I have a bad day, all I want is to see him to brighten my day.
• I can go to him with tear filled eyes, left-over make up and PJ's and he still thinks I look beautiful.
• When I've had a bad day, he brings me my favorite Mint Oreos so we can make our own Milkshake/Blizzards! :)
• He introduces me to the smallest place to eat...but the absolute best!! :) (aka Chiz's)
• He can't wait until I cook for him again.
• Our schedules are COMPLETE opposites...and he still makes time to see me, no matter how tired he is!
• I can fall asleep while he's driving and not worry!
• He shares all his music with me! lol
• He can make me melt with his baby blues, and amazing voice!
• He laughs at my "stage fright"
• He calls me in the morning to wake me up!
• His interests become mine!
• His tardiness makes me laugh!

This list could obviously go on forever, but I don't have the space, or the time- If it wasn't obvious yet- I've found someone so incredible that makes me smile every single day! He's everything I could have ever wanted! We'll see what happens! But as for now-

Birthday Suprises! :)

So this weekend was my birthday...and it was absolutely amazing! I've never been able to be surprised! No one has ever been able to "pull a fast one" on me. But this weekend was FULL of surprises!

SURPRISE #1: Saturday night Danny and I went out to dinner, and then decided that we were going to watch a movie after dinner. He had me pick a few from his house, and then we headed over to my apartment. We got to my apartment and made brownies and then decided to start the movie. Ok, a little bit about me and Danny- we're THE most easy going people, and have the tendency to let that affect our decision making! :) lol- So basically neither one of us ever make a decision! Well...Danny had me pick the movie, so I figured oh alright, we'll pick one together! (So a little background- I'd been trying to get Danny to watch Moulin Rouge for WEEKS!) So I started naming off the movies so he could help me pick one out...then Moulin Rouge was stuck right there in the middle of the stack!! :) I don't know how he got it in there, but he had gone and gotten the movie for me, even though I know it was tourture for him! :) It was the first surprise anyone has ever been able to pull off for me, and it was the sweetest thing! Thank you Danny!!

SURPRISE #2: Sunday was my actual birthday, and it actually was just a normal Sunday most of the day. I got up and went to my early morning meetings, went to the rest of church, then came home and took a nap. Then Danny came and picked me up to go check his work schedule. Then he told me that Josh, Danny's best friend, wanted us to come over for a bit. I had told danny that we were having a "sweet swap" at my house at 8 so I needed to be home for that. We were at Josh and Sharlee's until about 8:15, when Danny said- "Oh I forgot about your sweet swap we better go." I thought, well ok. haha So we're walking up, and the house is dark- and I thought...hmmm maybe I thought it was at our house, but it's really not. I walked in to an apartment full of about 30 people...and walked RIGHT BACK OUT! They were singing Happy Birthday, how embarrassing! :) Danny pushed me back into the apartment, I blew out my candles, and then enjoyed the night with friends! :) My amazing roommate Stephanie had planned this whole thing! Getting everyone there, getting me out of the house, and the treats! :) She's amazing! :)

How to say I love you

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHY!

We were VERY sneaky....spent Monday night decorating for a fun filled day! :)
P.S. After a lecture from Kathy about not drawing attention to her birthday! hehehe

Pretty good eh?!

So Kendra, Kathy's daughter hired a boy to come sing happy birthday to Kathy...she was absolutely mortified!! :) (MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!)
