Collages

Jon and I have been dating for almost three months. Wow, time sure does fly! It seems like just yesterday we were making small talk at Muldoon's drinking chai tea and getting to know each other. We're definitely still getting to know each other, don't get me wrong. There are so many things that I'm still learning about him; every time that I learn something new I like him a little more.

In fact, the other day I got so tired of asking him to try something of mine at a restaurant that he didn't like that I asked him to make a list of foods that he likes and dislikes.

I was being serious.

Jon was not.

His "Do Not Like" list included "Tool bags with gel in their hair and sparkles on their shirts", "Roommates that walk in randomly", and "Alison in sweats" (which is an inside joke, don't worry, he's not a controlling Lifetime movie boyfriend).

His "Like" list included "Alison's cute dresses" (trying to make up for saying 'Alison in sweats') and other foods that he actually likes like biscuits, cinnamon rolls, rolls, bread, and french toast... I see a pattern here. This boy likes his carbs!

Anyway, for our three month "anniversary" or whatever you'd like to call it ('anniversary' makes me feel like we're old) I decided to make a collage for him out of pictures of us and lyrics from a song that reminds me of our relationship. I finished the collage today. All that I need is to cover it with hodge podge and then let it dry. I can't wait to see his face! I think he'll really love it. He's very good about liking my little projects and complimenting me on them. Jon gets that I'm creative and don't know what a logarithm is. I mean, that's what HE'S for... he's the Civil Engineer! All I need to know is how to add up groceries in my head at HEB and stay within a budget.

This has really gotten me in a collage mood... what else can I collage? Maybe I should start making collages like this for my friends for their birthdays and such! It's a pretty cheap gift that means a lot to people and can be displayed for years to come.

I used to collage the front of my notebooks and that always looked really cool. I may do that this summer for my classes in the Fall. Who knows, maybe that will motivate me to study a little more than I have been this semester... eh... I haven't been studying as much as I should be.

I talked to my mom about grades today, not that I'm doing bad (two A's and two B's) but just that sometimes I just don't feel like studying. I know that I should and I know that education is really important... I blame it on the sunshine, fun friends, and cute boyfriend. The End. (haha)
