adam & i made a breakfast date for friday. yes, ladies & gents, you heard me right. i was out of bed by 9AM and ready to go by 10AM! shocker, i know! we celebrated our year & a half anniversary this weekend, so on friday afternoon, we spent a good hour and a half in petco picking out my present: a new ten gallon tank complete with house, live plants, and 4 baby fishes that are my pride & joy. (i know...they're fish. but i've been an animal lover since i was young, and if my cat's not here, i sure as heck am gonna soak up these beautiful animals.) we set up the tank and got it all ready, and he left for work. after he got out, we doubled to go see The Book of Eli. overall, the movie was interesting; it had good parts and bad parts. as far as spiritual content goes, just talk to me personally. i swear, i'll be civil.
saturday was adam's show in detroit. excluding a very depressing aspect, the whole night was awesome! the band did great, and adam had a whole group of girls waiting outside the backstage door to see him, touch him, hug him, whatever. it was great! he didn't act like it, but i knew he really did enjoy his time in the spotlight. i'm just glad i was the one who got to drive him home! :)
on sunday, i brought home 4 babies. yes, i am a mother... of a diamond tetra (lover), a schelop molly (julius caesar), a dalmation molly (domino), and a mickey mouse platy (walter). everything was great, really. for a few hours. i try to go to sleep last night, and the heater clicks every time it turns on. and not just one click. no, no. click, click, click. like a dripping faucet. i call adam at 2 in the morning, and i'm freaking out because i can't sleep, but if i turn off the heater, they'll die! and THEN- horror of horrors, i find a crack in the tank. yes. you read that correctly. anyways, i made it through the night (so did the babies), and we can get a new tank tomorrow. and the heater is no longer clicking (after fully submerged).
it's weekends though, similar to the ones i just had, when i feel my family's love and adam's love so much that it consumes me. family is supposed to love you, and i think we take that for granted sometimes. i love my parents wholly. and they are beautiful examples of love and selfishness. adam too loves me like Christ loves the church. selflessly. and i'm reminded of how much more i need to love...and not only love, but love directly and with purpose.
BIG NEWS: i have an apartment for next year. okay, it's not 100% (95% actually), but i'm going to see it, and it's affordable...and the best part? it's overlooking 8th street and is IN my town! i am close to andrea and close to adam and close to family! i've been worried about this since last october; and i heard God...i heard Him...tell me just to give this over to Him, and He will provide. i am giddy with joy!
also, i applied to an internship a few weeks ago at an entertainment magazine located about 20 minutes away. i didn't hear back from them, so i followed up with them on thursday -- friday morning: an e-mail from them asking when i could come for an interview! :D when i imagine my working life, i envision this very chill environment. i mean, most of my income will no doubt come from freelance writing & photography. i am not worried: i am ecstatic! God is providing all of these beautiful opportunities for me,...and to top off all that news, it was sunny on friday, saturday, AND sunday!
it was back to the grind today. i am exhausted after being up with the babies for most of the night, but i am grateful that monday is almost over (mondays are just always the hardest...sometimes you need a weekend FOR your weekend). tomorrow, adam & i are attempting switching tanks because of the crack. geez oh pete's. i can only imagine how that will go! :)
