Random realizations.

Things I have learned about myself lately:

1. I am not an angry person. I think this is genetic: Eberle's are notorious for patience. It takes a lot to get me angry- and even then, it only lasts for a few minutes until I realize it's not worth it. This will come in handy for my teacher days.

2. I love consistency but I don't mind change. I've learned recently that oftentimes they go hand-in-hand, but not always.

3. I love when people do little things for me. It means the world to me. When Cody and Tyler visit me at work, when Alyssa brings me chocolate after having a bad day, when Melissa writes me a note and puts it on my car, when the lady I babysit for sends me a facebook message just to let me know she's praying for me, when my sister cleans the excess toothpaste off of my toothpaste, etc. I have great people in my life who really care about me. I appreciate them so, so much.

4. I have had the most lame birthday parties for the past few years. 15 I had malaria. 16 I went out to dinner with my dad, but didn't see my boyfriend or any of my friends. 17 Sierra and I had absolutely nothing to do. I don't remember the last time I had an actual, planned party. And that's mostly because I don't like parties. I learned having a birthday in July is not good because everyone is gone on vacations. Since I already choose to keep few friends around me, that restricts my parties to a couple friends. I don't know what I'll do for 18 but maybe it should not be lame...

5. I am extremely vulnerable with people. This is great to write because I used to have a huge problem with people seeing my emotions and hearing about my life and my past. Now I can be read like a book and I will tell you almost anything you want to hear about me. I'm really happy about that.

6. I would love for my husband to sing "You're the Reason I Come Home" by Ron Pope to me someday. It's so sweet. (Or write me another song equally as sweet). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IctL_5C0WH8

7. I'm contemplating cutting my hair short. A little below chin length. I'm not sure how it would look considering my naturally curly hair. Thoughts?

I hope tomorrow is a snow day.
Ryan and I have a snow dance for the occasion.
It's supposed to get real cold. I love this weather (when I'm inside, that is.)
