1. My favorite song of all time is probably "The Gambler" by Fun. it is a beautiful love story enclosed cleverly within a song. Go check it out, I also saw Fun. in concert this year; one of the best concerts I have been to yet.
2. Letters & Cards oh my goodness it is such a dead art of communication now days, but seriously I have a very special someone who sends me cards and letters regularly and it is pretty much the coolest thing ever, thank you USPS!
3. My favorite movie of all time is probably "Midnight in Paris" I just relate with it completely hard to explain, but it is pretty much a magical romantic comedy. Watch it.
4. I have successfully completed my first year of college in exactly 1 week.
5. Some people read different things for fun. I have realized I personally prefer the classics, or something of substance that I learn things from, spiritual readings, and of course the Bible. My co-worker made fun of me about this fact, but I just said man the Bible has some crazy stories in it! Daniel and the Lions Den, Noah's Ark, Jonah and the Whale...those are real crazy stories regardless. haha
6. My favorite coffee cup is an oversized "Chicago" cup I purchased from a Starbucks during one of my many trips home from Germany
7. I am learning to budget not that I am perfect at it, but at the age of 23 I think I am getting the concept.
8. I start work part-time in exactly one week from today
9. I have lost 25 pounds over the course of 9 months, it has not been easy and I still "ideally" still have 15 to go, but I have done it none the less!
10. I have opened my heart back up again. After 2 years of running around staying closed off and reserved, I know how to feel again...and it feels good.

WHEN THE PUBLIC DEMANDS A TITLE, BUT YOU REQUIRE TIME...
So there is this guy...yes. This is how the blog shall start, so deal with it or just stop reading now! Anyways I think he is one cool cat, I mean he thinks like me, he balances my craziness, and he treats me like a princess (I know this term is highly over-used but for real it is ridiculous...in a good way!) That being said we are not the "stereo-typical" 2012 relationship, actually we are technically in no-relationship at all at the moment. If you have read my blog since the beginning there is a particular post in which I describe my idea of romance based on 2 single books I read that rocked my world and perspective on dating and marriage. It is one of the first post back on March 8, 2011 titled "There is No Modern Romance." Check it out if ya didn't get the chance! Anyways, one thing I didn't write in this blog was the author's first kiss with his wife on his wedding day. To me that is probably the most old fashioned romantic idea ever and I TOTALLY DIG IT! That being said, I am inclined to want a specific pattern of romance to commence before getting married that could lead to such a phenomenal event, yet I had yet to meet anyone as crazy as myself to even consider such bold/crazy/extreme/modest ideas in romance. I had accepted that I would be alone for quite some time and I was okay with that challenge...I had a goal and that would be my next relationship "playing for keeps, for forever." (Enters this boy) then all of the sudden everyone wants a definition on our non-relationship that has only been about 3 months total. No one understands our logic of building a solid friendship as a basis of a relationship, the bottom line is in 2012 people don't wait they rush...to the feeling of someone near, the emotional, the physical, all of it so impatiently. My generation is indeed the microwave generation "I NEED IT RIGHT NOW! 5 MINS. OR LESS!" One day I want to have a wedding invitation that reads "Please join us for our first kiss." and have so much anticipation built up I can hardly stand it! Cheesy as it sounds those are my standards, and patience is just part of the process. After a lot of speculation I felt it was time to throw this out, I like a boy, he likes me, we are just different so even if you don't comprehend or understand why anyone would dream of such a thing you now know why there is no title for at least 3 more months. We are making sure we have a solid friendship to build off of and not base this whole thing off of lust and impatience, but on God and patient persistence. It is what it is.
