Valentines Day, continued. . .

Okay, so update:

I got my power back. : ) YAY! I love electricity!

I didn't take any really good pictures of the trees, because my battery died in my camera and I had no way to recharge them, and now its dark, plus a lot of the ice has already melted off of the trees (thank God.)



In other news:
Matt being the pain in the butt that he is got flowers and chocolate delivered to my house even though I told him I only wanted him to read "The Dream Giver" as a gift. They're pretty, and I have some pics of the roses to post:







I haven't read the book "The Five Love Languages," but I can tell that Matt's major love language is giving gifts, so I try not to give him a hard time about it, and try to find ways out of him giving me gifts, such as asking him to read a book, (even though it was the perfect excuse to get him to read it anyway.) and Matt: Don't think that flowers and chocolate is going to get you out of reading "The Dream Giver!"

Valentines Day

As said in our last post, Matt and I are apart, and due to my switching shifts he decided not to come back for Valentines Day. It's really not a big deal, but we've decided to do something special either Sunday or next week when I visit. Matt is coming up with his parents to visit the church in North Monmouth, and we might be doing something in Portland, or hanging out together after church. If that doesn't happen, then we'll do something together when I visit him next week (I have vacation next week, and I'm only working two days, sadly).

In other news, last night the power went out at my[Laura's] house! I woke up this morning and we still don't have power, and I'm fearing a 13 day power outage like we had with the ice storm in 1998. Hopefully it will warm up today and melt a good amount of ice off of the trees. For those of you who don't know about the ice storm (although I think most of you do,) here is a link to the article. I'll post a picture if what the trees look like after I take one ;).

Enough of me babbling. Have a great Valentines day!!

The Snow is Out to Get Us

Okay, so I did end up seeing Matt before this weekend, he ended up being able to come Monday into Tuesday. Unfortunately, he had to leave Tuesday afternoon instead of Wednesday morning because of a predicted snowstorm that would make it dangerous for him to drive on Wednesday.

Matt and I have now come to this revelation that since nothing works out as we plan, we should just plan things the opposite of how we want them to happen.

Oh well. As a wise boyfriend once said, two days are better than no days.

Matthew's Name

Amazingly, Matt's first name is the 40th most popular first name. I thought it would be higher. Mine is the 57th.

Uh-May-Zing

I was just coming on here to post about the Generation Christ website that Matt and I have finally got partially active, when, lo and behold, he already posted! It's astounding in two ways: we both had the same thought, and HE ACTUALLY POSTED!!! Wow. I'm in shock. Haha, I'm just teasing him. And I'm going to stop now because this is all I came on here to post and if I write anymore I may get in trouble. :-P
