We've got to keep going...

Today I delivered my final presentation for Small Group and presented my final performance order for Speech and drama. I have to say... I'm pretty proud of both. Small group final was pretty awesome. I did a game that I basically improv'd (most of it had been done, but I added something last minute and it ROCKED!) My Speech and drama thing also surprised me with it's awesomeness. It was pretty cool, sitting there, actually talking about our orders like we knew what we were doing... I might just admit that this is the first semester I actually feel like I've learned something and *GASP* feel like a communication major!

The parentals are meeting this weekend. Which is FREAKING me out because... well... their meeting for the first time ever. We're gonna take them around the Soo... show them some of the places we're thinking about holding the wedding... go out to dinner. Show them the apartment. The usual. My mom is going to have a long day ahead of her... she has to go to Lansing first to get her birth certificate and then she's coming up to Da Soo to rest/eat/stop driving.

Then, on Sunday... the big day... our 1 year anniversary. Holy. Mother. Of. God. Has it really already been a year? Like... really? We don't really have anything planned, what with the parents coming up and all, but I do have a gift idea for the boy. If you wanna know, you can e-mail or call or something, but he reads my LJ so posting that is outta the question. I'm still in awe right now. I mean... a year ago on THIS day I was single, moppy, saying that Steve could never like me that way... and then I let it slip to a friend and she let it slip and three days later Steve asked me out.

There, now you know the legend of Gabby and Steve.

In the mean time, my adviser today told me that he wants me to do a performance for my senior thesis. So... I need your help with something.

So... a few things have happened since I last updated. But my mind is so consumed with the one thing that the others really don't matter right now.

Let me start by saying that things between Steve and I have been SO much better since the last time I wrote. I guess the stress of never getting to see eachother finally just caught up with us and now that he's done with his internship and I'm done with my show and other things we can finally just take a breath.

But when something seems easy, always be ready for the catch.

Saturday, Steve found out about a job opprotunity. It is about 8 hours away in Holland Centre, ON. Now, it'd be wonderful if it was a job for next year. I mean, he'd be teaching french, he'd be closer than England, there is a wonderful school about 2 hours away that I could transfer to, but no. If he gets this job he'll be leaving in about, oh... a week. One week. To pack his things, find a temporary place to live and leave.

I support him. I do. I want to see him succeed and be able to start teaching; something he's been working so hard for for 6 years. But now that we were in this beautiful place... for him to up and have to leave... that's really hard.

I am so proud of him. I am so happy for him. But I was just getting used to being a couple again. I really don't want to be alone for 2 months.

:(

This weekend Steve is in Toronto attending his best friends wedding. It's incredible and weird how much I miss him. I know he'll only be gone for a few days, but my heart aches knowing that I can't do something as simple as give him a hug. Or see him smile... though I can hear when he smiles over the phone... it's just not the same though. I really miss him. I can't wait for him to come home.

In other news... I have to work tonight. I'm ushering for the New York Voices. I guess they're like some jazz group and they're coming to the Soo. Hopefully the turnout is huge; I always get so nervous for these highly sophisticated groups that come to the Soo of all places. But hey, I hear they are extremely good, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I also get to hang with Gail today as soon as she's done meeting with her Senior project group. Hanging out with her is always a blast! Maybe we can get our DDR on or pop in Rent! Or both? Damn, that would be complicated. I'd be singing along with Mark while trying to hit those complicated steps on Cartoon Heroes or something, lol! That's an image...

Well... I'm off. I need to shower.

*deep breath*

COMPLAINING:
I'm tired. I'm sore. I'm sick. I miss my boyfriend. School is hard. My room is really hot. My back hurts. My skin is effin' dry. I'm hungry. I'm lazy. I don't wanna do anything. Is it spring break yet? I wanna go home! Lake state sucks!! Why can't I stop coughing? I miss my boyfriend... still!!

SMILING:
I actually did get to see the boy today. We went to the library today and studied together. When we got tired of that, he took me out to dinner. Liz, I love Penny's Kitchen and we're going there more often. Then he took me on a tour of Sault Ste. Marie, and told me he had a camera. so, we went to his house and picked it up, then drove around the Soo and took pictures of us and the ferry and eachother and Canada and bridges and the electric plant. It was such a good evening. My boy rocks!

Well... I'm done now. Screw the report, I'm going to bed. 'night!

Gabby

:D

I really am. No, really. Last night I had a headache and was sad because my boys phone was off and I was ready to go to bed and I didn't think I'd be able to talk to him... and my phone wasn't working (or so I thought) and it was just sad. But then, by some amazing miracle, my cell rang and it was the boy! And he said he needed to talk to me and that made me nervous (I hate it when people say, "We need to talk...") so i got scared and told him he should come over.

And he did. And we laid in my bed for a bit, and I was like, "What do we have to talk about?" and he was like, "You're not mad at me, are you?" And I was like, "What would I be mad at you about?" And then he just... kissed me and the night was good again. We just cuddled in bed and talked about our days and how busy our week was going to be and the weekend, and sledding and I talked to him about CSI and he tickled me and we made plans for studying today and...

I'm the luckiest girl in the world, to have this sweet, kind, funny, cute guy who actually cares for me and likes me. He said that I'm his favorite mexican and his first brown-eyed girl (which led to much goofy singing) and he came up with a whole bunch of different ways to call me "his girl."

Life is wonderful. I really don't know how it could get any better.
