missin you

In my world the shelter from the rain
You're the pills that take away my pain
You're the fire that warms me when I'm cold
You're the hand to hold as I grow old

In a world where nothing else is true
Here I am still tangled up in you

You're the ship when I am lost at sea
You're the only thing that I like about me
You're the light to show me the way
You're the end of my very best day

In this world where nothing else is true
Here I am still tangled up in you

i. miss. you.

come back already.
(listen to this song here)

can you even believe it??

Can you even believe I'm getting married 5 weeks from today? How crazy is that?

Super crazy!!!

Can you even believe I am going to be a quarter of a century old in one week from today?

Seriously, where has the time gone?

I love being engaged and didn't really get stressed too bad except for this past week. We had to get our announcements sent out. Plus- its the end of our term so I have been hustling trying to figure out ways to help my kids make up work to make sure they all get good grades, correcting papers, entering grades. Its been fun. Ok, fun isn't the word I would use.

But being engaged it fun. And teaching is fun. Most of the time.

Here's something that will put a smile on your face. I got this note passes to me today from one of my students. It reads as follows,

"Hey, Girl!
what's up? i think that you are the bomb.
and you rule.
ok, there's this one boy and he thinks your awesome!
-(his name)
hehehe"

I know right? Dont you love 4th grade? Because I really do.

So, I have showers coming up. (and a birthday). if you are having a hard time deciding what to get me, i am registered but i also followed the example of this little genius and made a little wish list at the anthropologie. Just fyi.

i cant wait to get married. oh ps. my engagement pictures are up and can be found here if you want to take a look.
