Saturday night my parents took Katie and I to see I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change at the Greater Lewisville Community Theatre. They had been talking about it about a month or so ago and mentioned it to us. Then they offered to take Katie and I out to dinner before and that sealed the deal for us. We are both really glad they invited us, it was great. It was rated PG-13 for language and just like most action movies they managed to use the one instance of the F-word in a very strategic, and completely hilarious, situation. If any of you have a chance to see it then I would highly recommend that you do. Guys, be forewarned, it is a musical. However, it is totally worth it. You will cry laughing at some points.

Friday Katie and I went out to dinner and a movie and then the hospital. We grabbed some grub at Chili’s courtesy of her cousins who had gotten her a gift card for Christmas. Then we hit up Tinseltown for a showing of Juno. This is a really good movie. It’s got a great story and the ladies will definitely enjoy it. If you want another The Office and Arrested Development reunion then I’d recommend this for the cameos as well. Juno has a great ensemble cast.
We had gone out and done all this in anticipation of our two year anniversary on Monday. It’s crazy how that time has flown by and we are now less than five months away from our wedding. It’s pretty awesome though, I couldn’t think of someone I would have a better time with for the rest of my life.
Oh yeah, we went to the hospital because I was on-call and had to fix something, nothing tragic.
Tags: Christmas, Movies, Relationships, Wedding StuffI’m sure we have all had a relationship or two where this has happened to you, either you pulling the fade or the fade is pulled on you. Getting it pulled on you is never a good feeling and pulling the fade yourself can be either intentional or unintentional. I have been guilty of unintentionally pulling the fade, but I do have a friend or two who have pulled it intentionally.
Colin and I were talking about this very subject and he checked UrbanDictionary.com (some defintions NSFW) and found their various defintions of “fade” to be unnacceptable and took it upon himself to submit one of his own. Once he submitted it took a day or two for it to be approved, and here it is in all it’s glory.
Fade
(from the Latin “fatidus”, meaning to blend) In a complicated relationship, one finds it amongst themselves to cut off all communication, recognition in public, etc., for unknown reasons. (When a woman applies this action, she is considered a [expletive], whilst a man is seen as a God among mortals.)
Examples:
Pat: That [expletive] is pulling a fade.
Andy: Pull the fade right back. (recommended response)

The last week has been a pretty busy one so I haven’t had much time to write, especially with my Internet being down for the past 4+ days. That was a hassle but got it taken care of yesterday when the SuddenLink guy came and crawled around in the attic for a few hours in 100+ degree heat.
Friday and Saturday were spent moving various things from Laura’s house to her new apt and stuff from my house to Laura’s house. Everything went rather smoothly except for one friggin’ couch. We took off doors, tried to take off legs, tried every conceivable angle to get that couch into their apartment, but it just wasn’t happening. So Laura ended up giving it to Tim to have at the house I was moving all of my stuff out of.
After moving everyone’s stuff around on Saturday we all went to our seperate residences to begin setting the places up, which I admittedly didn’t do much of. I’m just a slight procrastinator… I consequently still have a considerable amount left to do in my room with unpacking of clothes and such.

“Haha, ooops, I guess it’s been a while.”
Well ladies and gents, it’s been a nice little three and a half month hiatus, so I figured I might bust out a new entry here. I’m going to continue with the random one liner’s theme.
Aside from a friendship, I pray that I am given the chance to treat a woman of God exactly how she should be treated. *everyone’s response* “Let’s hope Jared finds himself a lady so we can all stop hearing him complain about not having one and for making fun of anyone in relationships.”
I think Andy and I counted and so far there is at least 5.5 collective Toopy’s (or Toopie’s.)
Kicking butt at work is fun. (Yes, I am a nerd.) Getting recognized by your bosses for kicking butt at work is even more fun!
Maxing out at 300lb is friggin’ great.

Living in a house is much better than living in an apartment.
And I will leave you all with a little bullet from an article called “The Good Wife’s Guide” from Housekeeping Monthly that I read today dated May 13, 1955.
“Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.” If you want the whole article, I can provide it.
Tags: Friends, Random, Relationships, WorkTo have a good friend is the purest of all God’s gifts, for it is a love that has no exchange of payment. Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. A friend is one who knows you as you are… understands where you’ve been… accepts who you’ve become… and still invites you to grow.
These are just some small inspirationals that I came across at my Aunt and Uncle’s house this past Thanksgiving and they were particularly striking to me. The first one is just amazing to me because it is so true. It took me quite a while to recognize and to begin to embrace the gifts that God has given me, and it wasn’t until then that I realized that I have some truly “massive” friends. They do no hang out with me for any self-serving purpose. They do not keep my company because it will only bring them good. They are my friends because God has blessed me with them and put them in my life. They are there because they really care about me, and I for them. It’s truly amazing what you will find when you finally open your eyes to what God has in store for you. The second one is just as great. We are built as social creatures that seek out community and the fellowship that encompasses. There have been countless times where I have not been having the best of days and just a quick phone call, IM, text message, smile, or hug from one of my friends has totally just lifted me up. It is one of the greatest feelings in the world to feel cared about and loved. I only pray that I am may be able to do that for others. Gosh, and the third is quite potent as well. This one ties into a talk that I was listening to on CD with a couple of my awesome friends the other day on friendships, dating, relationships, love, and marriage. It just really emphasizes how you must become nearly best friends before you should even consider dating. Like one of the points the speaker made when he said people would remark “But oh, we are too good of friends to date…” was his response of “So you want to date a stranger?” That just really spoke to me. Because that is exactly the type of relationship with another that I want to have. I want my future spouse to be my best friend first who knows me for who I am, understand’s where I’ve been, accepts who I’ve become, doesn’t allow me to be complacent but instead invites me to grow in everything, including in my relationship with God, with her. That to me will create an amazing relationship that’s built to last. “I want to be romantic with you.”
