fourteen

Sorry, no picture today. I forgot to take one, but you aren't missing much anyways, trust me. I was wearing a green top from forever 21 and blue jeans. Exciting right?

Today was uneventful except for Dan making dinner. He made tilapia and rice. This may not seem like a very big deal to anyone, but it is. Let me explain:
Reason first: Dan never cooks
Reason second: I really don't like fish, but I'm trying to branch out
Reason third: this is one of the first times this week that we've spent time together.

Now, I am going to watch a movie and fold our laundry. Is there anything better than clean laundry? I contest that there is not.

I lied

I changed my blog again. But, I really do think I am done this time. I like the black,white, and red look and the new and improved header. It just felt like there were too many pictures of me everywhere, so I wanted to put a quote in to push me down. So, here you go! The new (again) Christensen blog.

I am sorry to report that today was incredibly uneventful. I tried cooking my mother-in-law's recipe for taco soup, and it didn't turn out NEARLY as well as hers did last time I had it. So, that was disappointing, however, Dan seemed to really enjoy it. My 9:30 am class got cancelled today, but I didn't read the email until I was completely done getting ready at 7:45. Ugh. I hate when that happens.

Side note: I am really enjoying my Family Relationships and Gender Roles class. I feel like I'm really learning a lot and I absolutely love my teacher. I may or may not post some things in the future because they're pretty neat and helpful. Last class we talked all about conflict resolution, which made me think of that episode of the Office (haha), but he gave us some really great tips for when you are upset about something and need to resolve the problem with your spouse. Anyways, enough about that.

Today at work my boss and I spent 45 minutes trying to copy the same stupid thing because a client ordered 25 copies of this pamphlet. We could not figure out how to make the stupid thing fit on the paper! It was so frustrating, but by the end we thought it was hilarious and just started cracking up. I love my bosses, they're awesome. In case no one knows, I work for two graphic designers on campus. So, I basically cut the things out that they print and laminate it. And, that is also how I was able to do my banner because I have photoshop at work.

Wow... This post was boring and about absolutely nothing. I applaud you if you read it all.

Blog

Okay, I think that I have FINALLY decided on a layout and color and stuff. Maybe. I made the banner myself, so let me know if it's hideous. I would like your feedback if you have time! What do you think?

Today was a really great day. That is why I am excited here ^. Today, Dan and I finally received something we've been waiting for since August, yeah August. We've been incredibly stressed and impatient, but now it's all over. I feel completely overwhelmed with gratitude and just feel so blessed. Everything is finally starting to fall into place and we will FINALLY be able to go forward with things that we need to do. We seriously couldn't be more excited. I'm sorry this is so cryptic, but I haven't been told I could discuss these things on a blog, so it's probably best that I don't. I hope you all have a great night.

p.s. There were a lot of funny pictures for this outfit, but I chose the one that says, "Sweet Freedom". Dan was being quite the bossy photographer today.

Fashion Show

Last night I was really bored because I didn't really have any homework and Dan was studying (like always), so I decided to go through my closet and try to plan my outfits for the next couple of days, so as not to repeat the hoodie incident. After I had decided that an outfit was cute, I would go into the living room and show Dan. At first it was just kind of something to do, and then it turned into this really fun fashion show that we were both enjoying. I love how involved Dan is getting with this whole project. He is starting to recognize what women are wearing around him and comment about it, and when I ask him his opinion on something I'm wearing he actually says something helpful instead of, "That look fine." Like, last night I asked him which shoes I should wear with something and he picked one and said the other looked funny "with that outfit". Seriously people, did I snag a good one or what? This is just another reason why I absolutely adore him. Even though he's busy, he takes time to be interested in something that I am doing and is continually giving advice and support. Just the fact that he wants to be involved in something I'm doing, even though he has NO personal interest in clothes, is really charitable and loving. I couldn't feel more loved, and it is all because he told me which shoes to wear. Amazing.

I didn't have very much time to get ready today, and as a result I look like this. I'm sorry if this is disappointing to you, I will try to do better in the future. But, in my defense, hoodies are exceptionally comfortable and pigtails are awesome. That is all.

p.s. Are you sensing a pattern in my wardrobe yet? If not, think comfort and I'm sure you'll get there.
