I feel very "scene." I feel very beautiful. I feel very awesome. As promised, a glimpse at my new kicks. It's okay to be jealous, I understand. I encourage you to get your own pair! I'm totally fine with matching!!!

Beware the Ides of March!
Technically, the Ides of March is tomorrow, but I don't want to put off posting any longer. However, I HAVE to reference classic literature when given the opportunity. :)
If you don't know (and you really should) this blog title is an allusion to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. If you haven't read it (and you really should) it details the fall of Caesar and the Roman Empire. Totally cool! Plus, it's got a lot of war and killing so boys tend to like it more than a lot of his other works. A win on every level!
Now, to the real meat of this blog post: Ummm....I don't know. I guess I'm having one of those moments where it really feels like nothing is happening, even though that isn't true.
This past weekend CD and I went to visit his home church and his family. His church was hosting a spaghetti dinner as a fundraiser and they asked him to sing (and play) as part of the entertainment. Thus, we roadtripped at least 6 hours on Saturday. I love to ride in the car. I love to drive too (see previous posts about Betsy) but I also like to be able to relax and be the best co-pilot in the entire world. (Humble!)
Anyway, we were served a lovely dinner by the members in CD's previous youth group and I got to know some of the people in his church better. That was really wonderful! Now that's he's back from East Asia (Thank you, Lord! Seriously, thank you x1 million) we've gotten to get back in to the swing of things like normal couples. I even take it for granted some times. Now you know we're back to normal!
Also, on our way there CD got a call offering him a job at W. So, on one hand this is really exciting (income!) but also it puts me in a tough spot. Where am I going to work? (Hello? Lord? It's me for the 547,669th time. I need some work!) Overall, I think I'm going to count this one as an answer to prayer and just keep having a little faith...................
In other news, I ordered Toms. They should be here today!!!! I'll have to take pictures and post them on here so all my loyal readers can be jealous. After much soul searching about Toms sketchy business and giving in to popular fashion, I've made my peace and eagerly await my new beauties.
Okay, okay I think that I've hit the high points for now. Peace!

Boys vs. Girls
***Update: Betsy is back and appears to be feeling all right. We hope for a full recovery.
You know, CD and I are a lot different. (Profound statement of the month).
I didn't grow up with any boys on a day-to-day basis and it is starting to dawn on me just how different we are. Even though I've had other boyfriends, CD is different. He is all boy. (Now he would interject and say: "MAN!") He loves to do dangerous things. He loves to use a chainsaw. He loves peering under the hood of my car and smearing grease everywhere.
I've compiled a short, non-inclusive list of things he does/would do that I have zero interest in.
1. Look at me, make sad eyes, and say, "I wish I had a skateboard, ripstick, instrument of death, etc."
2. Jump from high places.
3. Ride around on his bike with no hands. Pop wheelies on his bike. Jump his bike. Make tight turns on his bike.
4. Use any sort of tool (especially power tools) for any sort of activity. Even if a small screw driver is needed, he's headed my way with a power drill and a grin.
5. Climb rock walls, cargo nets, etc. Also, an exciting way to get down from said height is crucial.
6. Be rough with things. (Cats, shoes, furniture. You name it, he's rough with it.)
...Meanwhile, I'm walking around with a halo above my head and a nervous tick from all the dangerous things going on in my presence.
I know that many readers....(all 4 of you...)figured out this differences a long time ago but sometimes I just stop and look at him and wonder "WHY are you doing that?"
Oh well, differences are good and I'm glad we have them. I'm still just praying for all girl children though. Now, more than ever!
