Will you accept this rose?

Last night some of us girls got together in honor of the new season of The Bachelorette. Amanda and I even made these rose cupcakes from fruit by the foot. (This is what they were supposed to look like anyway)
from here

It's too early to pick favorites, but we did all like the guy that sounded like he was hard of hearing. However, by the look of things, I think he goes nuts sometime during the season. I'm sure I'll have some more solid predictions in the future.

I like looking through people's stuff. Sue me.

Just when I think I know Jacob pretty well, I'm pleasantly surprised.
This week I learned that he's very sentimental. Upon discovering this box, I immediately went through it and found...-the usual cards and notes from friends, family, and myself
-tickets/programs to every concert, ballet, and basketball game he ever took me to
-every one of his high school I.D. cards
-a little toy we won at a mini golf arcade
and other random tidbits. So I concluded that he's gushier than I ever knew... or in the first stages of hoarding.
I love this boy.

We become silhouettes

Since I don't want to spend a lot of money decorating the apartment we'll only be living in for 4ish months, I've been making stuff. This also gives me something to do all day while Jacob is working. Other summer activities include: watching rubbish on TV, reading good books, swimming, hanging out with the other ladies, and improving my cooking skills (I love having a real kitchen!). I know, rough life.

I may or may not have trimmed down my double chin. Just a tiny bit.
