yesterday

Yesterday was wonderful! Nathan and I texted (text?) all day and I got back on a regular sleep schedule! But what's better than that was we went to dinner, sang the Avett Brothers, kissed and cuddled in the restaurant like love birds, and I cheated on my diet (It was delicious. I forget what real food taste like sometimes), and then when we came home we had REAL blackberry cobbler that Nathan made for me! (It's extra special because he has battle wounds from fire ants and bushes because he PICKED them himself out of his yard -- What a man!)

It was delicious, and we cuddled until almost midnight, and then we had to say goodbyes. I hate those!

I get to see him again tonight for dinner at his house with his parents and Saturday is our one year and four month anniversary! It feels longer, and yet at the same time not as long as that. I love this man. We have gone through a lot together in this year and almost 4 months, and we have grown a lot. I see it a lot in Nathan. He has surprised me so much. He's sweet, and honest, and amazing, and always doing little sweet things for me, and he's grown into quite the man.

I like the words to this song. My boyfriend could sing it better, I think (and not as twangy).

"Elegant and soft
Feminine as you ought
One with earth and one with God
Won't you please forgive me
Won't you please forgive me

As the daylight sinks
As I fail to stop and think
Once I cursed the things I've done
Won't you please forgive me
Won't you please forgive me

Young bride take my name
Burn the questions burn the shame
You don't have to live by them
Won't you please forgive them
Won't you please forgive them

Sleep well when the night time falls
Wait 'till morning when I call
Don't believe the bad you saw
Won't you please forgive them

Tenderness and grace
How you've come this place
However dangerous or safe
I'll find within you
I'll find within you"

OMG, and this one:

 

I saw this cool thing from Pinterest from Wedding Chicks where you can make your own little monogram/initial iPhone paper, so of course I had to do it. Here it is! (and me getting ready for our date night out).

boy cut

I cut my hair like a boy and this is what happened. Shock --> crying --> hysterical --> panic attack --> sleepiness --> growing into it. We will see.

I have been on a diet for 3 weeks now, and  I dropped 5 pounds from dieting! Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't feel any smaller. :/ But I have been doing really good. I have to stay on my diet this week because Saturday I am going to super cheat when I take Nathan to go to NONA for his birthday. Then back on the diet again.

I just am so burnt out on school. I just want to marry Nathan and live in a little cabin with a loft bed in the mountains and help people for free and make jewelry and take pictures and then one day have little mountain/hipster babies the end.

summer nights in spring

I have been on a "diet" for 6 days now. I'm not calling it a diet though because even though it's really hard, I feel so much better about eating better! I've been "calorie counting" for 6 days straight now with NO cheating! It's been great! Hopefully I can stay this way! Once I get to where I want to be I will be able to eat to "maintain" which means more calories allotted for my mouth.

My sweetest boyfriend got me a grill yesterday! It's a little baby tabletop grill, and he grilled some hot dogs up and I made onions and mushrooms and corn and heated up some sauerkraut and it was the best! I have a feeling we will be grilling a lot! Then we did mad libs while we ate and hung out on the couch. It's only the best thing ever. I have a feeling that this will be my favorite Summer yet. :)

I had a crazy day in clinicals today, school is about to get mondo hard and taking up a bulk of my time, and it's almost Nathan's birthday! I have to find him something! Ok, I have homework to do.

I'm happy, it's warm, and I'm in loooooooooovvvvveee!
