I see the most wonderful people and random things in my life. So many people who make me smile, make me think, make me caramel lattes with vanilla in them to simulate my favorite drink from Starbucks. So many things that frustrate me, that I bring to God over and over again, that make me giggle when I consider them.
I share some of these with you. Because at 3:00 A.M., these are the things that I am dwelling on.
- Sleeping over at Matt Wailes' house and how I fell asleep watching "Boondock Saints" and it was almost like I was at home except instead of sleeping in my sister's bed while boys fought over mine or crashing on a mattress in my family room, I was on the floor in the office. And how I had a PopTart for breakfast and wish that I could have gone to church with Laura. Josh was clever and got out of bed before he could get his picture taken. Jeremy wasn't so lucky.
- The only reason boys aren't allowed in the Willetts bathrooms during open house is because the bathrooms are in an illegal state and should be condemned by the state. The deans know that the boys will try to protect us and our safety while grooming and turn in the reports, so they just outlaw it. Proof is below.
- Sundays in Cincinnati are one of my favorite times of the week. This week, I'm changing it up a little bit, but I will miss the 'Nati so much. I wish I could convince all of my friends to go sometime. I wonder if they'll get it. I wonder if they will understand what that church means to me, or if they will think I am crazy and chalk it up to being a 'theatre geek'. I am in love with Urban Outfitters and if I were given the choice, I would ask my husband to allow me to decorate my house almost entirely from that store alone. Also, I like working with Janna because she doesn't ask me to be anything other than myself.
- Christe and I are going to have a party on Saturday because everyone will be gone. Perhaps I will sleep on my couch that I have yet to make a name for, or in Lauren's bed. I will talk to my godfish, and make a card for someone that I have been intending to make it for this week. I will probably laugh a little and I will definitely cuddle with Christe. I will beg her to understand, and she will, and even if I cry, it's okay. She's a cord, too. We miss our third one.
This list explains the following pictures. Don't you wish you had my life?

I am just full of random thoughts these days. I don't procrastinate anymore, because I don't have time to. There is no time for things to pile up, or they will get lost in the crowd.
"Laramie" is going well. Everyone's putting so much work into it. I can see God working in it already. I love it that I can put work in it, but not worry, and just step back and let Him do His thing.
Today is a day of meetings. I'm booked until past curfew. But that's okay. I like the busy feeling. And like I said, then there's no time to procrastinate.
Today was Veteran's Day. I cried in chapel for a multitude of various reasons. At least our room is clean, and I had a caramel latte this morning, and I'm going to go shopping for a little bit this evening. Shopping is like a catharsis for me. It cleans me out, even when I don't buy anything.
Speaking of buying things, I am SO excited about Christmas this year. I've already started putting things together. Everyone is going to love love love their presents.
This is a shout out to my special friend, who shall remain nameless, who has lost his or her lip virginity. Your story is the cutest. I'm so happy for you that I could glow almost as much as you do.
Gavin Degraw is on repeat, and we like it that way, okay?
Krysten and I are going to have a knockdown, dragout fight before the end of the semester. Wait for it.. wait for it..

The picture below is of my dear, dear Josh Cutts, who stayed up all night with me on election night to watch the results roll in, pull out our hair about my adopted state of Ohio, and keep me company during an all-night study session for WV development.
It reminded me of when we were 13 and 14, and staying up all night, chatting online, was a regular occurrence for us. It brought back a million memories of him at Doolittle Park, the old Wallingford Park and Rec, weird nicknames, playing the piano, Commissioned songs, yearbook meetings, solo concerts in the cafe, early morning talks in bed on New Year's Day, trips to the Domincan Republic and Greg.
Joshua Brian Cutts, thank you for being my friend for the past 3904832 years. You rock the shebang.
And thank you for sharing your "I Voted Today" sticker with me.
