Ear Plugs, Free!

Last night I was going to bed and I told my roommates so they wouldn't be too noisy. I was really only hinting at the fact that they keep me up late. Tyler caught on. He offered me some ear plugs. I felt a rush of excitement because I had hopes of finally falling asleep before midnight (note that the present time as I write is 11:53 p.m.). I couldn't fall asleep but that's because being in love makes your head spin and your heart rush pretty much all the time. Don't worry about me; it's a good feeling.

So now I have my earplugs in because I'm ready for bed. The only thing that bothers me is being able to hear myself breathe. It's like I'm holding a stethoscope up to my nostrils. Loud. Loud. Loud.

Tomorrow will be a busy day. I know I need to plan time to go to the gym, but it's always so busy after I get off work on Wednesdays. Maybe I'll just walk. Parking is a nightmare.

Ok, now that I've appeased the angry "Don't always blog about your amazing girlfriend" gods, I feel like I can mention Molly:

There is definitely no one in the world who understands me like she does. Tonight our conversation ranged from awkward to outlandish to extraterrestrials (okay, stretching it). Being so far away isn't as bad when you have conversations like that to build on. Life is enormously challenging right now, but I have never been so happy ever. If you can't see it in my writing, you can see it on my face. I feel like my smile muscles have been working overtime for the last month and a half. I probably have a buff face by now just from feeling the way I do.

If you're thinking about settling for something less than the best, let me guarantee that it's not the way. "When you least expect it" everything will turn out right. Why? Because we're not as smart as our God. And we don't realize how much He loves us.

Alright, I'm done. I'll let it go for a few more days until the emotions build up again. I started blogging to have an outlet. It's working.
