it's been a while since i've written in here but i feel like a TON has happened. i'll give you a quick play by play:
* i had the flu last weekend and that was awful. it totally shrunk my tummy and i can't ever eat a whole lot, as if i did before i had the flu...but whatever.
* i returned to work and got to go to the annual leukemia fashion show put on by korshak. it's the biggest fashion show in Dallas each year. yours truly was the assistant to the mens representative...which meant that i was in the corner with the male models. there were 8 males and 30 female models at this show, each of the males had 2-3 changes. i helped greg prepare the merchandise for the models, oversee the outfit changes (NICE) and pack up afterward. there was a lot of downtime between setup and showtime, so i got to just chill and sit backstage. the models were very nice, but it was kind of difficult figuring out if a couple of them were gay or not. who cares anyway, brady is better than them. nevertheless, it was a good experience.
* i also actually ENJOYED menswear this week. i feel like i've gotten to know everyone better and they've gotten to know me too. i'm getting more compliments on how hard i'm working and i feel more like part of the team rather than a stupid intern. it's nice.
* brady surprised me on saturday night and showed up at my house. he wasn't supposed to come until sunday night...but we got to spend an extra day together which was fantastic. we got to celebrate our one year :) i don't do valentines.
*for our anniversary, i made him a book of all his shows over the past year. i gathered a bunch of pictures from all the places he's played at and made a portfolio-type manly scrapbook. i love being part of his music career - being at all of his shows, hearing his new songs right after he writes them (i feel so exclusive), and watching him record. being there for him comes so easy. i love every minute of supporting him, so it was only fitting for me to make something that shows how his passions have become my passions just because i love him.
* he wrote me a song for our one year...which is actually funny because while my gift to him had the theme of supporting him and his passion in life (that has become a passion of mine), his gift to me was using his talent and his music to show me how much i mean to him. it was all very special and mushy so i'll stop now ;)
celebrating one year with brady has caused me to think about the last year of my life in general and how much i've changed. not only is my hair 8 inches shorter, but i now have a dog, i don't live in Austin anymore, i'm not in class, i'm pursuing a career, i'm desperately trying to maintain long distance relationships with everyone i so dearly care about, and i'm back to living with my parents. it's crazy how in a mere 365 days your life can be in a completely different place. i'm pretty sure that this past year has been my biggest year yet...growth and learning wise...so just THINK of how this next one's gonna be, eh?
i've come to one last conclusion for the week about this past year:
i look MUCH better with long hair.
short hair makes me look like a dumbfrick and i hate it. would getting extensions be a total waste of money and be completely vain of me?
yea i guess so. dang dang.

laura love i'm so glad you have blogged again! i zealously and anxiously check everyone's blog every time i get the chance, and it makes my day when i get to read something new.
i'm so excited for you about life! yes...your whole life-all of it-your boy, your job, your perspective, your future. i'm so happy that your job is coming along so well...things are always hard in the beginning but you've seemed to conquer your uncertainties quite well. i love you and brady are so good together and i don't mind reading your mushy posts about y'all...it's my way of living vicariously through you ;) finally, i think your has looked beautiful everyway i've seen it, but you should do what makes you feel good. i've just recently been able to follow that own advice myself, and it really changes your outlook on the world when you feel good about yourself, even the superficial stuff like looks. sorry for the longest comment ever, but i just have so much to say to you. love you bunches and can't wait to read more!
Aww mushy post gave me goosebumps and I love it!!! I am so happy for you and Brady! And about the hair...I love it both ways, and you don't look like a "dumbfrick" with it short! You look beautiful! Do what you like best! I know this has been a huge year for all of us! I think it is great!
long..or short..long..or short..not gonna lie, i think i might like it short better :/ it makes you look older :) i'm soo soo soo happy to hear that work is looking up! i know how something like that can weight on you..not necessarily "ruin" a day, but weigh on you enough to make the day not so great either. So YAY for models and YAY for feeling more accomplished in your work environment :) and DOUBLE YAY for 1 year! i agree with the other girls, i sorda like the mushy stuff and don't mind reading about it one bit. i'm glad you're still able to do little things for and surprise each other, even if you're not in the same city. good luck with stretching that stomach back to that of an adult and not a picky little kid, i'm working on it too :) I love love love you!
my little milk dud...i love you and your "dumbfrick" little self. jk, jk...you know i dont think youre a dumbfrick. i do like the word however. and when i read it i could hear you saying it. so that made me smile. but your hair is glorious anyway, we all know that! you're too hot for your own good. that's why i love you. im glad work is getting better. keep up that hard work, it will all pay off! well...we already talked on the phone about all this yesterday and i look forward to our next tele-rendezvous! muah!
