With Christmas and all the wedding stuff coming up, today was a crazy day of cleaning, laundry, and finishing of my secret project! This is all I can show you right now… which really isn't anything at all!

Today might have been a little stressful, but last night Michael took me out on the first real date we've had in a long time. I had so much fun! First, we went over to Michael's favorite store (obviously, this would be Best Buy) and he went straight to the Wii games section. When I told him we weren't buying anything, he pulled a $35 coupon out of his pocket! We went for the new "Wii Party" without question.

Next date stop: the movies! We had a free movie ticket from buying cereal, so why not? We saw "Tangled", and it was so cute and hilarious! The horse had to be one of the best parts. Last of all, we ate Chinese for dinner and played Wii! It was fabulous to just relax and laugh. I love my buddy!

spoiled much?

Sometimes you'll have a rough day at school: your class presentation just didn't go exactly the way you planned, and you have a huge test in three days. Maybe you just want to cry over it like a big baby, but then your extra-giddy husband picks you up from class. He's smiling and driving, and stops at a red light (way to obey those traffic rules, hubby!) and then… he pulls a Canon camera bag from just behind your seat and plops it in your lap.

What?!

This exact thing happened to me yesterday. I didn't even believe there was really a camera in the bag at first! No way he would go out and buy a Canon T2i. Well, I was gravely mistaken, because he did not just go buy the camera of my dreams, he also skipped class to do it! Whoa. Now that is love.

I have been waiting for this for at least a year or so, and now that I have it I'm honestly so excited that I'm nervous I won't have enough skill to put it to good use. I'm waiting for the weather to clear up and my huge test to be over on Thursday, and then I'll really see what this puppy can do.

Yeah, I'm really too spoiled. But hey, he can use it too! =)

what makes taking tests fun?

Honestly, there's nothing that can actually make a test fun. Sorry if I got your hopes up! But sometimes studying for them doesn't have to be so bad…

Yesterday I had to study for the two exams I took today. But look what a certain someone left on the doorstep for me to make my day infinitely better:

Michael is so thoughtful and does some pretty great surprises, huh?
