Let's start with Bunco. Jambalaya was delicious. King Cake was even better. I tied with another girl for losing the most games. I was so proud to call Nathan later that night and tell him that my optimism won out over his realism this time. But then the other girl raised her hand too for losing 7 games. Whenever there is a tie for a prize, we have a roll-off. Whoever rolls a six wins. I could have fought her for it, but decided to just let her take the prize. It was her first time to play with us and I have won twice before. I didn't want to be a jerk. I kinda wish I would have though just to see if I could win again. I like to think my optimism was not so unrealistic, proven by the fact that I was only one tiny step away from being 3 for 3. We will see what happens next month. I can guarantee you I will still be hoping to win a prize again, and ever bit as sure that it is possible : )
Highlights of the weekend included Nathan coming back from San Antonio and dancing at the Celebrity Lounge in the Eldorado. I LOVE to dance and it's been a while (our wedding, I think) since I have last busted a move. I hate to work out but dancing is so fun and I can always feel it the next day.
By the way, last Monday was our six month anniversary. Half a year! It still feels like we have been married for much longer. In a very good way, not the way most people joke about that. When I hear people say they have been married for anything under like 5 years, I think of them as newlyweds. Two people still trying to figure stuff out. I mean, I know you are always trying to figure stuff out no matter how long you have been married. And Nathan and I are definitely still "figuring out" but I just don't feel like the stereotype I have of other people who are still counting the months. I don't know if that makes any sense whatsoever. Anyways. The point is we have been married for six months now and I absolutely, completely love being married to Nathan. I don't even like to imagine what my life would be like right now had I not met him when I did. Nor do I like to think about the time we spent apart (a lot of it) between the time we met and got married. Lonely is the word to describe it. Even when hanging out with good friends. But all of that time was there for a reason. Don't ever assume, even for one second, that you know what God has in store for you. Or what changes will come from what He does have for you. His way is ALWAYS best and there is nothing better than knowing He will mold you and shape you into what He wants you to be through the good times and the bad. Especially the bad.
Tomorrow night is The Bachelor. Woohoo for reality TV! I am so nervous to find out who will get kicked off. I am also really curious about what happened after the taping of the show. Are they still together? Will they actually get married? Don't worry. I'm not obsessed. Just curious. I promise.
