oh happy day(s)

so. today and yesterday were so happy.

yesterday: i found out that my wonderful friend/art teacher/mentor, connie jimenez got engaged to chris zammett. annnnd i am out of my mind happy for her. oh my gosh. she is just one of the best and greatest and most wonderful people to be around. i can remember being in AP art and talking to kelly about how "miss jimenez" needed to get married and would make such a wonderful wife! i have known her since i was... what? 8?... and she used to come over to my house when i was a kid and then taught me logic in 8th grade and AP art in 12th. oh i love her. man, but when i read the text that she sent to kate, i was with a bunch of friends at someone's house and i freaked out and screamed for a super long time and everyone was looking at each other thinking, "what is up with her freaking out at a text message?"...... hm. i look forward to getting to know chris. he must be great, if connie will have him! :)

today: i picked up my phone and found a text from elise mays saying that she was officially engaged to garrett!! now, i LOVE elise and garbear. elise is just... aaah there are no words! she's my pocket-sized elisey, whom i love to hug and talk with. and garrett is like a weird kind of brother that i don't really see very much but when i do it makes me SO happy. and so, to see two people that you love SO much get engaged to EACH OTHER--- it is almost too much. i freaked out again and was busy screaming and jumping up and down in the hall when the concerned pastor's college kid from korea came up the stairs and said something about their family being worried that that someone was getting hurt.... hahaha :)

happy happy sigh.
literally, it just came out.


oh, and shivers. happy shivers.

i love you all and i'm so happy for you all.
