Word of the Day: eschew I took two pictures today. This is Kim and me, and we're excited about life. I like how I cut half of myself out of the picture. And how it's extrememly fuzzy.

This is the tree outside the bedroom window. It was a beautiful day today and I thought I might document it. Michelle and I watched 'Doctor Zhivago' this afteroon. I absolutely love that movie. I remember the first two times I saw it I didn't see it all the way through. I missed the beginning both times. So I just got frustrated and read the book and found out. It all made sense then. So, since we're learning about the Russian revolutions and things in our different Western Civ classes, Michelle decided she wanted to see it and I was all gung-ho for it. So she went and rented it and we watched it today. And I still have the music stuck in my head. Winter Cotillion was tonight. The setting was beautiful, the band was good. I actually had more boys than last year sign my dance card, so that made me happy. It was a good time even though I realized halfway through the night that my dress was too small for the amount of water I was drinking. It was beautiful, everyone was beautiful, and now I have a headache from too much fun. I guess that's just how it goes, though. Before I left for the dance, at around 8:15 I guess, Aaron called. He had told me he didn't want to come to the dance (which I understand), but I was hoping he's be saying, 'Hey, baby, I'm outside your door waiting for you.' Well, it was just in the back of my mind. He said he called to say that he loved me and to tell me to have a good time at the dance. I'm so glad he remembered, I'm so glad he called me. I'm so glad for him.
