snapshots of our life.

tomorrow is my friday. thursdays are the best day of the week. i love ‘em. this week has been really cool. i went to trial with one of the divisions. it was a family violence/battery case and the guy wanted a jury trial. we won. i say we like i tried the case. haha. but i got to be a part of the jury selection so that was pretty cool and i also got to take notes and they told me if i had any questions to voice them, because more than likely the jurors had the same questions. so i feel like i did my part. it makes me want to go to law school even more.

today was office work but i didn’t mind it that much after going to trial the 2 days before it. tomorrow i get to go watch probation revocations. so that should be interesting.

i can’t believe tomorrow is september 1st. 9 month of the year!!! dang…9 months. i never thought i’d make it past 1, haha. we’re getting so close and so anxious. craig and i talked last night and we were laughing cause we are getting anxious over 4 1/2 months. to most people who have to be away from the ones they love that’s a lifetime. but to craig and i 4 months is something to freak out about.

the pictures they are showing of louisiana, mississippi and alabama are so hard to believe. it breaks my heart. i can’t even begin to imagine what that must be like and what is like to not know if your loved ones are ok. i freaked out monday night cause i couldn’t get in touch with anyone in craig’s family for awhile. they are more north in louisiana but the line kept telling me all circuits are busy. and i read an article where the red cross had set up a shelter in monroe. so i worried about them.

i feel sorry for all of those soldiers in the louisiana national guard that are deployed and don’t know how their family members are, can’t get in touch with them, and don’t know if they will have a house to come home to. can you imagine being deployed for a year in iraq and right when you are about to come home have something like this happen. and what a helpless feeling to call home and not be able to get in touch with anyone while you are a world away.

after tomorrow I’ll have…
…58 hours 15 minutes down & 241 hours 45 minutes to go!

dang i’m on my way!

you get caught wearing your veil around the house after buying it that afternoon…hehe

There you are standing strong,
I’m a leaf holding on
You believe like a child,
In this fire runnin’ wild
Oh I love how you see
Right to the heart of me

You’re a waterfall, washing over me
I’m a thirsty man let me drink you in
Well I am on my way,
You’re a mountain top
When I reach for you, your love lifts me up
All that I want is to be
Where you are

I’m the frozen ground, you’re the warm sunlight
Shining down on me, baby just in time
Well I have never been in a love like this
Oh, you move my soul every time we kiss
And I love how you heal;
I can’t believe how alive I feel

You’re a waterfall, washing over me
I’m a thirsty man let me drink you in
Well I am on my way,
You’re a mountain top
When I reach for you, your love lifts me up
All that I want is to be
Where you are

martin sheen’s role on west wing has gone to his head. someone should remind him that he is just acting.

r.kelly has some serious sh!t going on in his head. i’m watching the vma’s and he’s performing his little soap opera he’s got going on in his messed up head. seriously. wow. issues…lots of them.

this weekend went by too fast.

i miss craig.

my ticker that i made says 4 months and 3 weeks til he is home. that’s the earliest he’d be home.

a dj i have been e-mailing back and forth with about quotes sent me another one on friday and it said “prayers are with you”. i had let him know that right now things are up in the air until we know when craig will be home. but its crazy how something like that coming from a complete stranger can mean so much.

i was reading back through craig’s blog from back in february. i can’t believe its almost september. i’m so proud of him and so proud of us for getting through this. i miss the everyday things. i miss holding his hand, i miss being held, i miss just cuddling on the couch. but as much as i miss it, our relationship is stronger because of this time apart.

my favorite vma moment is when sting and puff daddy (that was his name at the time) did i’ll be missing.

0h!! we ordered my wedding dress yesterday. i love it and i’m so happy. thanks again mama!

well, i guess i better go work on my internship paper. fun stuff.

first, some random thoughts:

• rascal flatts could sing a long about freaking batman and i think i would still cry through it. they’re amazing.
• t-mobile sucks and you may see me on 11 alive news if it doesn’t get better. bill in consumer reports wants to do a story on my situation and it is oh so tempting. if the news didn’t have the reputation they had for who they put on the air i would agree. but i don’t want to be one of “those people” like you see who talk about how they moved their truck so the storm wouldn’t hit it but it hit their trailor instead. again i reiterate…t-mobile sucks.
• did i mention that t-mobile sucks?
• i never thought sleeping late would sound so good
• i’m going wedding dress shopping again this weekend. i found one i love and now i just hope i love it on.

first week of my internship is completed! its been a long week. they aren’t the friendliest people. i feel like a freakin outsider 90% of the day. i walk into a room and i feel like i have leopracy because everyone stops to stare at me but no one bothers to speak. i say hi, people don’t say hi back. i think they believe my legal name is “the intern” or they just don’t care to learn my real name. maybe this is just temporary, maybe its just hard for them to warm up to people. lets hope so.

28 hours and 45 minutes down…271 hours and 15 minutes to go!!!
