What's in a title?

*sigh* (that was of relief) Finals are FINALLY OVER!!!!! YAY!! This is the cause of the no blogs. After Thanksgiving I was planning on writing a blog about the fun time we had (and about a secret love of Rob's I found) but, the week came and I found that I had a ton of homework and work to do. So, the result is that I had absolutely no time to write. Well, I had a ton of time to write, but I was writing an 8 page paper for my British Authors class, I had a project to do for my Multi-cultural American Literature class (which my brother Dave graciously and magnamiously helped me to do), a 5 page research paper to do for my Linguistics class, not to mention (but I am going to anyway) two finals to study for. Needless to say, I was way busy and way stressed. And then there was Rob's school. He was just as busy as I. I am sure that you don't want to read about the stress we went through. But we made it!!! again YAY!!!
So Rob's secret (I know you want to know). He made me promise NEVER to reveal it. But I can give some details. I coerced him into watching a girly movie. We had to stop it halfway, I don't remember the why, but he was the one to initate the contiuation of the story. He actually liked it. I teased him endlessly that day. I, too, have discovered something that I am ashamed to admit. To understand my shame better, you must come to understand my complete and utter loathing of running laps in junior high. Susan can attest to this. We would make up stories as we ran (or more usually waked) the mile or so. We did this so as to forget where we were and what we were doing. SO, Rob has tried to get me to run with him since we moved to Logan. For a while I ran with him through the cemetary (which is just across the street from us) but I soon started to dread that. Plus, the ground was hard on my knees (I know, I know, I am young). So we started lopping... (see previous blog for definition of lopping) I have to admit, it was fun at first. I would take a book I would need to read for school. It was hard to mark, but it was doing two things at once so I felt good about it. Then, I had a brainstorm. I didn't want to read one time, and I had noticed other people with ipods. Well, I don't have an ipod, but I do have a cd player and the music to "Wicked". Before, I could run for about 10 to 14 minutes. Now, with "Wicked" I ran for 25 minutes and went almost 3 miles (a personal best). The best part was that I didn't get annoyed with running, it was fun to me. It IS fun for me. sad I know. Add Image
Now, I know I haven't posted any pictures. There are reasons for this: A. I don't know exactly how; B. I had no time to figure it out; C. I don't really have a C, I just wanted to write it. So, I am going to see if I can put some put some on, if you can stand somemore wedding pictures, it's all I have.
Here's the best set of in-laws a girl could ask for.
This was the only picture that would work, so I am going to do a new post to show the others. So there blogspot!

So when you say you "ran" for 3 miles do you mean actual running? or lopping? Just curious. Either way, that's Awesome! You know what I do while I "lop"? I watch movies :D
Also you copied my "needless to say (I'm going to anyway)" that I used in my blog... or maybe we're just that similar in our linguistic antics...
