You know how when I said, "when it rains, it pours"? It certainly does.
God blessed me from the moment I woke up this morning throughout the day. Some of the ones I can name, but not all, because I feel as though I was continuously blessed.
- My morning regular at Vecino's
- My everyday ritual visit with Jeremy at 8:30 A.M.
- Wearing matching "Kiss me, I'm Irish" shirts with Jere
- My favorite class, Religion + Culture
- Getting a flat from my mom, but still not knowing what's inside it
- Lucky Charms for lunch
- A beautiful day for driving
- A good job interview in downtown Indy
- Wearing the black pants that took Nate and I four malls to locate last weekend
- Laughing with Mrs. Sowder in the backseat while Nate was in the front with his grandpa
- Being able to get another estimate for Nate on the car because the body shop was closing late
- St. Patrick's day food
- Watching Cameron sing and smile on stage
- Eating cookies
- Getting homework done early
- Jonathan Beatty going above and beyond the call of duty as a friend and financial analysis partner
- Suzanne Boltz understanding me
- Support from those back home in quitting the set props crew
- Brandon yelling at me to take care of myself
- Finding more than enough research for my APS speech tomorrow
- Hearing Krysten giggle
- Power naps on the floor of the room
- The new fragrance from Victoria's Secret to help me pull this all-nighter
- The clicky shoes
- An amazing chapel message
- Praying on the phone with Ashley Pelletier, and a check up phone call from her later
- A nice e-mail
- Getting excited about the DAE Easter Egg hunt
- Getting beat up
- His hand on my back to guide me
It was an incredible day, and it was all in the little things that added up. I could have gone on with that list for so much longer, but you all get the point. Our God is so good.

When it rains, it pours.
Number of good days in a row: 22
Number of stressful days in a row: 2
End of the semester: DAE events. Easter Egg Hunt. Set props for "Camelot". Classes, classes, classes. Capstone projects. Speeches. Finals. Going home for Easter.
Oh, and a little thing we refer to as "JS".
A nap would be nice. Maybe tomorrow in the car on the way to Indy.

Sometimes I am a nerd and I get tears in my eyes because when the black car goes away, the speech returns and overwhelms me. And he laughs at me, but it's a caring laugh.
Tonight is the Night of the Library. The work just doesn't stop.

Sometimes songs get stuck in my head, and I sing them for hours. My friends are very patient and understanding about this.
Today was so good. There should be a record for number of good days in a row. I think I might win. I did my laundry. I ate at Steak n Shake with Nate (I ordered what I'd been craving for like a month and a half now.. ask him, I truly have.. frisco melt, double order of fries, chocolate mint milkshake). I went to Michael's, Sam's and Target. I played with my dog in the sunshine. I picked Christe and Brittany up at the airport, and went with Christe at night to pick up Lauren. I scheduled a job interview in Indianapolis for Thursday afternoon, and I ate rice krispies. I read ahead for CWVI. I realized I speak on Friday. I am determined to not sleep until then.
Maybe.
I discovered that some of the coolest people in the world are coming to my house for Easter. It makes me incredibly happy. This does not even include Nate, because we already know he wins.

I am probably the happiest woman in the world.
I am back in the dorm, and it is semi-empty, and definitely not the ghost town that it has been. Leaving Faith's warm and comfortable home and coming back to the cement block walls was a rough transition. It was made smoother by a long afternoon in Beavercreek and hours at Barnes + Noble.
Orange chicken and fried rice helped, too.
The front of Nate's car is a little ripped up, thanks to Abbie McGaha's pickup. It should all be okay, though.. the car was going back to Indy with Nate and I on Thursday anyway, so we could drop it off and pick up a truck to take to Connecticut. And plus, it's Cameron's preschool Easter program. Probably the highlight of my spring semester. :)
I wish I could explain how great this break has been. Indianapolis was fun. Mrs. Sowder and I shopped our hearts out on Friday, after I had networking opportunity at Forum Bank. Nate was with us some, but he also got his haircut. Tell him it's hotttt, cause it is. We ate amazing food all day on Thursday + Friday, but it was capped off with dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. And Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake. Yesss. You all know me and Godiva. We have a longstanding relationship. And I bought clothes, and stuff from Vicky's, and it was good.
Spaghetti at Aimee Auclair's, with Mike Colletto, Heather Wenzel and Abbie McGaha is fun. Especially when Mrs. Auclair shakes the cat.
