"Love actually is all around.."

I started off my weekend with a 3 hour pointe rehearsal.. But thanks to my amazingboyfriend I ended the rehearsal with a text from him saying he was waiting in the parking lot to take me out on a date for our one year anniversary. We rushed back to my room so I could change. We got on the bus... but I got us on the wrong bus. So, we rode around campus for a half hour then finally the bus turned into the bus we should've gotten on. On the way there we started searching where to eat, instead of sitting in a dark, loud sports bar- we found a TGIF and ate. Ty paid for dinner and we had dessert!! :) We spent the night laughing at the people around us, laughing at each other, and talking about how weird we were a couple years back. Ty and I have been friends since I was 14 and he's been my 'best guy-friend' ever since. He deals with my dorky-ness, especially when I put us on the wrong bus... I've done it twice now. The fact that he just laughs it off, means something. (eros...)

Today my mom, aunt, and J-Man came up to visit me. When they arrived at my place J-Man gave what he was carrying to AunT and ran into my arms. Cutest thing ever, right? We got up to my room and he was so excited to see my fort bed! To his surprise I had two birthday presents for him, a blue triceratops pillow-pet and literally the coolest StarWars poster I've ever seen. When he opened it looked like Christmas morning on his face. He's been eyeing my frog pillow-pet all summer. A few times I even had to stop him from bringing it home with him! Ending with the StarWars poster was probably one of the best ideas I've had with J because as soon as I told him to open his eyes he started naming off all of the characters in the poster and almost didn't want to leave for dinner. I took them to the best food place on campus so J-Man could get a feel for what his Nanny McMaddie does for meals every day! He loved eating with us, but had a lot of energy so we decided to show him around campus. When we got back to my dorm it was time for goodbyes... Definitely not a favorite time of mine. I said goodbye to my mom and my AunT and had Ty pack everything my mom brought for me in his arms so I could leave my arms free for hugs. Right as they were settling back into the car and as I was walking back to my dorm, I hear my name being yelled by a little voice and as I turn around my little man running over for one last hug. Am I making your heart melt yet? I said I would see him in 2 weeks, for Keegy's birthday and he looked at my with his runny nose, smiled, and ran back to his side of the car. (phileo...)

Tonight was a night for a movie-night. My Ty-Bear left a little after my family left, all of my roommates were gone for the weekend and I was feeling a little lonely. Thankfully, my girl Kit-Kat got back just a little after posting a tweet about missing my Cope-Fam. I walked with her, Gordo, and Kye across campus that way they could use up their meals for the week before it hit midnight. As I'm sitting there talking to them about all of the creepiest things that have ever have happened to us, I find myself thinking again about how lucky I am to have found such good friends already, we've all clicked and how much fun we all have together. We're perfect fits! (storge...)

I got to pick the movie tonight for movie-might with the Cope-Fam so naturally, I picked 'Love Actually'. It is my all-time favorite movie and I decided that they needed to see it. So watching the movie I can't help but think of the different types of love I have in my life. I love my boyfriend, I love my family, and I love my college-family. Life is good!
