To me... you are Perfect

I think I was told that by someone amazing and wonderful once. :) Just saying...

I know I know, its been a long time since I've written and, gulp, I've failed my photo project. ON DAY ONE. Wow. Fail fail fail fail. Can't believe it. But really... WHAT was I thinking?? I started a huge project like this on my birthday. Which happens to be right before a weekend. Which was super busy. I'd have to be already deeply conditioned to take on such a huge task. This project needs to start on a Monday in the middle of January. Yep. That's my new idea. I need to be so bored and ready for anything to bring me back to life, and I deem this project that boredom saver. So save the date! The project will happen... just months from now.

Now, this is always the hard part. It's been what, 20 DAYS since I've written last. And a lot has happened. It's a busy time of year. What can I say. So let's recap in a sensible way.

Oct. 21- haunted trail, flowers, soup with friends=terrifyingly tasty
Oct. 22- murder mystery party, dinner, amazing boyfriend= dangerously delightful
Oct. 23- hayrides, bonfires, hot cider= refreshingly revitalizing
Oct. 24- work, birthdays, football=amazingly awesome (football on the Beckmans TV is awesome. Too bad the Packers won.)
Oct. 26- windiest day EVER, pizza with the Damjanoviches, Biggest loser and BIGGEST bunny= hysterically honest
Oct. 30-church, costume finding, Skip-Bo= surprisingly skippalicious
Oct. 31- birthday, wonderful and awesome Jennifer Beckman birthday party, the torture chair = frightfully fun
Nov. 1- rabbit rabbit (that's all I have to say)
Nov. 2- voting, polls, news watching= unbelievably unique
Nov. 4- window shopping, pizza with Megan, little girl thinking Megan is 8= magnificently marvelous
Nov. 5- cheesecake factory, Beckman fun, Hook= honestly humbling
Nov. 6- apple cider, Skip-Bo rematch, CVS run during the Daylight Savings Time= savingly super
Nov. 8- Nate's house, pizza and cookie making, mancala (sp?)= mostly moving
Nov. 9- Late night walk, deep conversations, time with boyfriend= perfectly priceless

Phew! that was a lot of work! Now of course I am missing some days, but I'd say that is a pretty great wrap up!! It's got all the great things that happened in the last 3 weeks and in only 165 words! Yes... I looked that up. I wanted to see how long that was. So that's what I've been up to. It's been crazy. And that's not even adding in all the work that's been in there. And of course all the dates I have with Alyssa. But this has been my life. And I love it.

I've noticed that a lot of my friends have been exclaiming how fast life is going by right now. And for some odd reason, I don't see it. Seriously, I really don't. I think I'm so enamored with life right now that I'm soaking up every moment. I mean heck, I basically just recalled three weeks in my life because I remember it all and enjoy it all. I'm surrounded by people I love and work that I like, and new experiences. I can't trade that in for anything. So while everyone else is for some reason saying life is going way too fast, I think it's going the perfect speed. Is it because I'm not waiting for anything? I'm not waiting for school to be done, or for a promotion at a job, or just a new job. Who knows. I have no reason. I just find it funny that I believe that it's November 10th, and everyone else can't believe it. Just something to think about.

Let me also say that I have a smart boyfriend. Our conversation last night was, well, satisfying. We went on a late night walk (Okay, it was 8, but it was already so DARK) and we talked about first the stars. and I wanted to find a satellite but of course none of them were near us when we stopped and looked. But then it turned into this conversation about galaxies, universes, space and time, energy and matter, and God. I can't even wrap my head around all the things that we discussed. He's so smart. I love that he can answer questions that I would otherwise have no idea how to answer. It was a perfect night. :)

Alright, I have to work. Hopefully that was a suffice recap of the last three weeks in my life. If it was non interesting, I suggest ending reading this blog. now. or.... now. or if you can't seem to just stop reading and keep reading the words that I am writing... maybe you are secretly in love with me and my writing. I'm okay with that.

Love
