| Christmas Break The weekend: Matt came home on thursday and we went to a church Christmas party then had plenty of party left for ourselves that night. Friday night we went out with Marcie, Brian, and Angela to Hot Springs - Outback then "I am Legend". And on saturday Matt went shopping all day then we had our little family Christmas. I'd list everything he bought me but then I'd probably get robbed. Let's just say he pays closer attention than I thought and I got much more than I'd "asked" for. Day 1: Matt worked til 5 so I had all day to myself. I played on his laptop for HOURS. Packed 2 boxes. Cleaned up the living room a little. Read "The Golden Compass" ... GOOD BOOK!!!! I absolutely LOVED it! Don't care if the author hates Christianity ... it's not like super obvious - fairly subtle until the ending. Anyway, the book is so lively and exciting that I would recommend it for a fun read! I updated my ipod. I crashed Matt's iTunes (and cried, but he'll be okay). And that was about it. If you're wondering how that took up 9 hours ... well it didn't. I was a little stir crazy by the time Matt got home. Day 2: Woke up with a phone call from Matt (very sweet). Already on the computer and I haven't even been awake for 1 hour! I have a movie today instead of a book, but I'll probably end up reading a book or two today anyway. I started Nathaniel Hawthornes' "The House of Seven Gables" last night, an old favorite of mine. Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddd ... yea. Guess I'll find something to do! | | |
| There have been many things I've wanted to say and many things I can think of now to write. However, I am limiting this to a few words because I really should be writing an essay right now.
YAY GOD!!!
Though Matt leaves Jan. 2 for who knows how long, God has blessed me in the most surprising way - with a roommate! My old suitemate unexpectedly was looking for a room for one semester. After some thought (for about 2 seconds) I volunteered my apartment! Matt and I are blessed with a 2 bedroom apt. close to school. Unfortunately he won't get to live there. And though I never expected or even thought to miss a roommate I now have one who will undoubtedly make my semester brighter! And I look forward to her modest, virtuous, godly character as being a light to shine with.
YAY GOD!!! | | |
| Dante - In his will is our peace.
Edwards - I read Jonathan Edwards "personal Narravtive" for Am Lit class today. I had never read ... well anything of his! But I really liked this. It's his story of conversion. I felt I could relate a lot to things like feeling an initial delight and "puppy love" view toward God, then fading a back a bit, and upon returning understanding God in a more complex view. On a "smile" note, Dr. Wink mentioned that edwards uses the word "sweet" quite often. I counted over 10 times on one page. Sweet 
Life - Well Matt and I were almost recovered from the first wave of allergies - there was about a day, maybe two, where things were great. And now we've bombed again. So back to the store last night for OJ, cough drops, I decided to try some Airbourne, and tissues. Matt went on orders Monday so now we see even less of each other. We'll use yesterday as an example. He left for "work" at 7. I left for school at 8:30. He came back at 5. I had a Signal meeting from 5-5:30. We spent time together until 6:30 when I left again for Tiger Tunes practice. He called me at 9:20 to say he felt really sick. I left practice, picked up the "sick stuff" and got home by 9:50. He was already asleep, although I made him wake up to take some Airbourne. I stayed up for another hour doing homework. Then we started all over again this morning when he left at 6.
It's nice to think "oh well, only 2 more weeks of Tiger Tunes" but then Matt leaves the day after for 2 weeks. So pretty much we won't resume a somewhat normal life until November *sad, exhausted sigh* | | |
| Welcome to the diary of a married woman! An old, fat married woman, according to my sister. Old I've heard ... every day since I've returned to school! Fat, apparently, is special just from her.
Despite all assumptions as an unmarried woman, living with a man is not all that different. I've had a father and a brother. I used to hang out with Matt all hours of the day minus school and sleep anyway. He's just another man in the house, my best friend who never has to leave! My point, I guess, is that it's just pretty darn fun. I got over the first 3 weeks of waking up every time he rolled over in bed. I also got over his (awful) declaration that he can't fall asleep if I'm touching him. At all. Since I like to cuddle A LOT this came as a disappointment but I've learned to suck all the cuddlyness out of him during the day and he's learned to go to bed an hour or so after I do to keep from being attacked.
Balancing school and "married life" is no problem. I just spend all my time with him instead of my friends! Minus a few occasional hours. All that hectic-ness that was supposed to ensue after the start of my school and his job is still floating around somewhere out there. Good riddance! We've almost forgotten our promise to go on at least one date a week because we already see so much of each other.
For a moment I will embark on a day in the Bealer household. Just for fun, you know. The alarm goes off at 6:15 and Matt wakes up at 6:45. Kisses good-bye and then I sleep for another hour (on MWF, not TTH). I make breakfast and clean up any dinner dishes. Leave for school. 2ish Matt gets off work and I'm done with school. He goes back to the house for a shower. I'm either in the Signal office, on my way home, or already home. At the latest I return by 3. I do homework. He plays video games. Dinner comes around and Matt concocts something wonderful usually set off by rosemary. Spaghetti, macaroni, tuna melts, fettucine, fried PBJ ... he's my hero. After dinner it's Smitty's house, watching a movie, or just more video games/homework. We try to read a chapter or so from Wild At Heart, a book by John Elridge. It's Matthew's favorite. And that's all!
Adieu faithful, but imaginary, audience! | | |
