I have some exciting news!!!!
something spectacular
Yes. It's true. I am engaged! We haven't set a date yet but it will be sometime next February. He proposed while we were in Colorado (those pics are still on my camera except for a few) and I was not utterly shocked, but certainly surprised! I am so happy, with this decision, and with life in general. Now comes the planning, what an exciting time...
otherwise, school is done for now. Even with my screwups, and taking 1, 2,, or 3 classes a semester, I am finally done with sf. I got all A's this semester (a first in college!!!) and raised my gpa to a decent level. Now I get to decide where I am headed next, and I am taking the spring off to work and save up money for rent and for the summer and fall, when I will be taking classes again. I switched my major to english and someday I will be a certified teacher. This suits me, I think, even though I don't knnow when I might actually get a full time job. The prospect of a family is only a few (at LEAST three, don't worry I am not crazy, I want to be secure first) years down the line! I am really so lucky.
I wanted to read my old posts for kicks, but they are so neurotic, depressing, retarted, and stupid that I just have a strong desire to delete 95% of this account, weed out the good entries, and start something new. But since I hardly ever write in here, I will probably just leave them to decay. I'm such a different person from the person I was less than a year ago. Paul helped a lot, but I did a lot myself. I'm proud of myself. It's nice!
So the next big question is, can I handle living at home if I decide to go to usf for a year? Paul will be gone to training and everything else (after he graduated from uf, he decided to become an army officer, and while I am proud of him and I respect him for it, it still scares the hell out of me. it's an ongoing discussion). or do I want to stay in the ville (provided i can get back in uf and the college of liberal arts) and work while I go to school? and then there's a whole wedding to plan, and between my family and friends and his, it's not going to be the smallish affair I was originally thinking about. and with my mom, ms. wedding planner herself, there's no chance of it not being at least slightly extravagent. but do I mind? NO!!!! it's the only day in my life that I will feel like a princess!!! it will be in beautiful Naples, the church is two blocks from the beach, it's lovely. It should be great, and hopefully planning it will make missing Paul a little easier to handle. he leaves for basic on January 26th, then he'll be in officer candidate school from april to july, and then school for whatever he specializes in from july until anytime from next dec. to early feb. hence, the feb.07 wedding. I like having a long engagement, though.
and aside from wedding and school talk, there's the subject of Christmas! Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope everyone had a ton of fun! I had a great day, got a new digital camera (canon a520, it's just a newer version of the one i had but smaller=cuter and it works great) and I got lots of other stuff, new sneakers, a pink gators sweatshirt, a tiffany heart-shaped necklace, some gift cards, my mom put about 2000 things in my stocking. my family is way too extravagent when it comes to Christmas!! but i am too, so it works out. today nan and I went down to the 54 plaza and bealls and shopped it up for the after christmas sales. it was mobbed but i did get some good deals and a hot dress for new years eve. we're going out in naples with everyone (first new years it's legal to drink for most of us!) and then on new years day, we're going out on robby's boat with geneva, phil, katy, pierce, and mayble blaine. the fun part is, not only are we boating, but we're going out to an island to spend the night, have a campfire cookout, and set off fireworks. should be fun as long as it's not too cold or rainy!
This is the mother of long entries, so i think i will wind it up. Chloe is doing great, almost nine months old and still pretty small, but very strong. It's been great to see her personality change from mild to spirited, and to watch her and johnny boy grow.
chloe the deer
so, in closing, i might try to write in here more often, but who knows, really? I hope everyone's doing great and had a wonderful christmas, and has a wild, wonderful new years eve!
current mood:  cheerful

I have a puppy. Well, paul and i have a puppy. we adopted her from the humane society, she's four and 1/2 months old. she is pretty docile and cares most about just having people around. the hs found her as a stray and we think she must've been abused because she was so, so timid at first. but she's come out of her shell so much and she is right up there as one of the best parts of my day. her name is Chloe and i am so in love with her. she's perfect, almost. every morning i wake up and feel her stretched out against my side and i get so happy, and wake right up (she's so good that she sleeps on the bed with us every night without incident). and her walks are good for us both, i love the exercise and she needs it. well, to be fair so do i. she's a pitbull mixed with a little hound and this dog is the most adorable thing. she's got those puppy dog eyes alright, and the only time her fierce side comes out is when she and johnny (katys dog) are playing really rough.
i felt a little surprised by the amount of resonsibility i felt for her at first, but i really love it now. taking care of her makes me feel more accomplished and it definitely makes me happier. and then she wags her tail so hard every time i come home and i can tell she's happy too, and truthfully, she is just so worth it. i feel like we saved her.
there is so much more to catch up about but right now i am tired from work and pretty much just going to go to sleep. oh, one more thing- my birthday is in about 2 weeks, we're having a party at the house on the day of, friday the 16th. come! meet the pup and help me take my 21 shots- i am such a lightweight these days, i ahrdly ever drink any more. i think it's going to be more like a 4-6 shot kind of night. but anyway, the important thing is, come see the house and the puppies and party with us. maybe i will write again in this thing before then but ive been pretty unreliable on that. anyway hop everyones doing well.
p.s.- costa rica was a fantastic trip, i had a great time, saw this beautiful mixture of rainforest and tropical shorelines, and tried new foods. pictures to come indefinitely...

I got my passport in the mail yesterday. It's a horrible photo but better than the last one, in which I was 13 and in that terrible awkward phase. And moreover, the photo doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that I got my passport! I am going to Costa Rica August 7-15. I get more excited as it gets closer. Oooh, I can not wait to go on the rainforest tour. I can't wait at all. My mom is getting me a new digital camera for my bday, before I go. Any suggestions? I get to pick it out.
In other exciting news, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came out yesterday, technically. I'm on page 93 only because I've been busy. I tried to tell myself to hold off on reading it until the trip- yeah right- but I'm spacing it out- i've only read for about an hour so far. I know how quickly this one is going to go and I really want to enjoy it, there's only one more left... oh i have missed the world of harry potter.
hmm.. I think i am going to go read now. right now. starbucks and hp, courtesy of a gift card. I'm happy.
