Be Mine Valentine

Valentines night my roommates and I watched 2 chick-flicks, ate lots of chocolate :), and danced in the living room. It was such an enjoyable evening. Why do we get so sad when we don't have dates on valentines day? I had a great time with my roommates!

I know I have done a post very similar to this one before. However I have had a slight shift in perspective. Last time I did a valentine post my concept of crushes was different. In High School Crushes were merely FUN. It was easy to just think "oh he is cute. I think I will have a crush on him." You don't really think anything else. However when you get to college all of a sudden crushes aren't so easy because who knows if any of these men could be potentials. At least this is from my point of view, I am sure that others would have a different opinion. I am not near as boy crazy as I used to be.
So one morning my roommate and I were discussing what we want in a husband. Of course it had the qualities I mentioned in my blog post titled Storybook Love.
The biggest things that were added to the previous list...
  • The willingness to do childish games with me, like play in the snow, do chalk drawing, play on the playground, spin in the wind, etc.
  • Spiritually strong and steadfast and immovable. Returned Missionary :)
  • Living his personal life's mission.
  • Lifts everyone higher
  • Is a natural leader
  • Always striving to become more, and reach his true potential.

The reason I put two images on this one was because the one at the top I designed last night and the second one was to compare how they have somewhat changed and improved. I still love the second one. I am just happy to see how my leladelles are changing and so forth. :)

I hope your valentine's day was delightful.

I just designed a cowboy!!!



So it was one of my friends birthday's today and I wanted to make him a card and was debating using a cowboy, a prince, or a knight. I thought the cowboy might fit this friend a little better so I just designed a cowboy! Doesn't he look cute?

So I have realized something about myself. I cannot leladelle on Mondays. Why? Because when I go to FHE I am not really there. I am thinking about my work of art. My darling stick figure in the making. I can't think of anything else really. So I have decided that I shouldn't leladelle on Mondays.

Today I was able to donate some of my blood. Which means I saved 3 lives today... in other words I am a HERO! I am so grateful that I live the kind of life where I can bless others. :) How grateful I am for LIFE! How wonderful it is to have agency?

I am reading Paradise Lost for George Wythe right now. So agency has been on my mind more than usual. It is an amazing poem! There is so much in it.

Another bit of wisdom I learned this week. NEVER issue a challenge to a guy that involves you getting scared. And know what's even worse I didn't realize I had issued a challenge until hours later. Here's the story...
We went over to one of the GWU guy's houses to watch Fellowship of the Ring. I said "If you could get a good scream out of me I would be impressed." (This is really dumb to say around 17-18 year old boys.) well after the movie finished we went home. A few minutes later they pranked us. I did scream. I also kicked one of the "ninja's" a couple of times because I was so angry with them. We have called up a truce and pranks are no longer allowed what so ever. We (all of my roommates and I) have learned several things without having to pay a huge price.

It's late so I will call this post good. :P and hopefully have something else to post soon.
ttfn. and good night
