It has been a big week... maybe not your definition of big but it felt big and I have a feeling this week will be more of the same bigness.
1. One of my friends got engaged this week... I love engagements... I love proposal stories... and most of all I love seeing (or hearing) my giddy friends after they become engaged.
Some proposals I like (in no particular order)...
Chris and Ali... mostly because I love FCA... and also because she is legit surprised and her mom was in on it
Luke and Drew... mostly because Drew has a unisex name like me... and also because it was simple but centered around something that meant a lot to them
Zachary and Alaina (sp?)... mostly because of the creativity... nothing flashy in the speech, but I love the use of so many people to make her feel special
If I had a lot of blog readers I'd ask you for your faves... or maybe your fave is your own?!
2. The Sing-Off started! Three years ago NBC did Clash of the Choirs to fill the holiday season and last year they came out with the acapella competition, The Sing-Off. I was a tad too busy this week to catch any of it live, but spending my Saturday night jamming to acapella has been perfect. Wednesday's intro to "Use Somebody" is one of my new faves. If only I had made the cut. :)
3. College drama is not usually a good thing, but Wednesday night a student called to help figure out a bad situation. It had nothing to do with me, but someone suggested she call me for advice. A lot of people complain about sucky roommates, but when most of us think back to the different situations they probably weren't as bad as they seemed at the time. Thankfully I have never had to deal with a roommate conducting illegal behavior that could get me in trouble too... Being told you can't go back to your room can be a little disconcerting, but in a weird way it was rewarding to be there for someone in need. I just hope I made the night a little less disastrous.
4. Fourteen days until like Christmas!! I still have way too much shopping to do and I'm running out of time if I want to stick to my online shopping plan. My favorite part about Christmas is obviously the birth of Christ... so many people go on and on about the commercialization of the holiday taking away from the true "reason for the season" so I won't belabor the point... but not only am I grateful for dear baby Jesus... but I'm anxious to see some family and friends I haven't seen in what feels like forever.
5. I recently finished another semester of teaching. I'm still processing my thoughts... trying to debrief from the fall and still leave myself time to prepare for the spring. Here goes nothing!
