Moving day is closing in. I've been getting pretty stressed, but it will all work out. . .somehow. Today I was standing in the hall talking to Ben when Mr. Baca came out of the bandroom. He said he was just going to call me to see if I needed any help. Well anyway, Mr. Baca took me out to lunch, we picked up some much needed boxes, and then we got ice cream cones. It was nice to spend some time with him and now I feel a whole lot better about the box situation.

I went on one of the best dates I've ever had last night. I was a little nervous to go since I didn't know Shane so well, we were going to Mona Lisa's, and it was Valentine's Day. He picked me up then we went to the restaurant. We got drinks at the bar (I had a yummy lemony thing) and then went to our table where we ate A LOT! Appetizers, entree, & dessert - the whole shebang. The food was incredible and we had so much to talk about. The waitress had to come back like three times before we were ready to order 'cause we were talking so much that we forgot to look at the menu. Shane was really sweet throughout the night. He even held my coat open so I could put it on. It was so nice to go on a "real date" too. I love just hanging out with my guy friends, but it felt special to actually get picked up, have dinner, then come back home. I couldn't really have asked for a better Valentine's Day! Oh yeah, he also said I looked "absolutely beautiful."

We're supposed to get a big snowstorm tonight. I hope it's not too bad since I have to go to the Joynt tomorrow. It will however help me get things done here at the apartment. Tomorrow is dedicated to laundry and packing. Hopefully nearly everything will be done by tomorrow evening.

I hope everyone that is reading this is doing well. To you EC guys: thank you so much for these past few months. I've really cherished my time with you while I've been here and I'm looking forward to seeing you all again. Please stay in touch!! If you're around tomorrow, please come by the Joynt and say hello/goodbye.

Have a great night everybody!

Much love,
Heather
