Temple Lights

Thursday was fun times with Kris! He took me out to dinner, and then we went to Temple Lights. The lights weren't that great, but it was still just fun to listen to Christmas music and hang out. I kinda like spending time with him. 😊

I did like the Nativity scene:


We tried to get a cute picture with the lights... I wanted the whole world to see my "high status man candy."




The craziest conversation happened at dinner. He asked me if I'd heard of Science Mike. Yes... what a coincidence! Science Mike and The Liturgists came to my church last year. I wasn't too surprised that Kris had heard of him, though, because he listens to tons of podcasts and likes science. But then he asked me if I know who Rob Bell is. There was a moment of silence because I was like, he did NOT just ask me that. I used to be REALLY into Rob Bell. Like, I've read all his books, listened to his sermons, read everything he put on the internet, blogged about him many times (including here and here and here)...

His first book, Velvet Elvis, really changed my faith. And anyone who's been in a small group with me has heard me say, "Rob Bell says..." a million times. So, my first thought was that Kris was stalking me on the internet or something. How could he possibly know this about me? And there's no way he would know this on his own... he's not a church person!

But it turns out he saw Rob Bell when he toured with Pete Holmes, because they toured together and Kris is a fan of Pete Holmes. So funny.

I really enjoy hanging out with this guy. Lots to talk about. He makes me laugh so hard. And he's pretty cute.

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
