I love Christmas presents!

So I finally did it. I got D to open his present last night. I told him I was going to ask him to do something, and that he had to do it, no questions asked. So when I told him it was his Christmas present, the first thing he said was ‘But it’s not Christmas!’ Don’t worry, he still opened it. And loved it! The present? Just a 37″ LCD HDTV!

Almost Christmastime!

Three full days until Christmas. Just over 48 hours and I’ll be in the place I used to call home. I never thought that I would be so excited to go back to the place I dreaded calling my home, but here I am, 5 years later, and actually excited to go back. The prospect of seeing my family, however, is the reason for the excitement. The places do bring back good memories – Christmas’ and Thanksgivings at my grandma’s house, Easter water fights at my parents house.

Quote Book

I was going through the bookshelves last night and I found my old Quote Book. This was a journal I started when I was in High School. All it is, is a collection of all my favorite quotes. It was fun to go back through the book and pick out some of my favorites:

I did it!

It’s official! I am now a student at AIColorado! I’m so excited!

Dreams

I had the strangest dream last night. From what I remember, it started out with me in a grocery store picking out more fruits and vegetables to eat. Now, I’m trying to eat more healthy in real life, but now it’s leaking into my dreams.

Then it cuts to me doing laundry. Darren is helping, or standing next to me watching, rather.

Hang Tough

I feel very frustrated with myself lately, like I’m failing at everything I try. D’s doing a really good job of supporting me lately, but I still can’t shake the failure.

I’ve been thinking a lot about starting school next fall. I’m am so incredibly excited to start school and finally do something I love. But what if I’m bad, what if I fail? Then what? I never thought it was an option before, but it seems that these last few weeks have been nothing but failure from me. I want to succeed. I want to be great.
