Be Careful

I just got back from a walk at the river with Kona. I thought I was being followed. I know I'm paranoid anyway, but I think other people may have been too. There was a guy staring at me, so I walked the other way. I look behind me, and he is behind me. I proceeded to walk down the steps to the river. He followed me there too. After that, I walked up the steps and continued to walk in the area where there are lots of people and where cars are parked. I didn't want to actually walk down the pathway because then I would be stuck. I didn't know if anyone was on the other side or what, so I went home. I was bummed out because the weather was nice, in the low 50s, and I wanted to exercise. It was even daylight. It was kind of a letdown, but I guess it would have been worse if I were followed home or something worse. My dad decided to scare me saying a woman in Cumming, GA was running with her dog in a park, more like a forest, and she was raped and killed. So, I hope Christopher will begin to like walking Kona with me because right now, I'm too scared to do it on my own in certain places. Kona liked it though because she is a wimp. She likes to walk for maybe 10 to 15 minutes, and then she's done. 

On a lighter note, I'm almost done with everything, but I don't know if I like it. I like having something to do, and I know I will be bored over Christmas break. I'll have to plan a lot daily so I won't be bored. I guess we'll have to plan for the wedding, which is hard for us to do. We're bad at making decisions, and we have no opinions or ideas about a lot of things. But it will all come together, and hopefully, everything will be beautiful!

It's Christmas Month!

It's finally December! It always goes by way too quickly though. I put the Christmas tree up really early (on Halloween...before I had finished carving the pumpkins), but there are still no ornaments on it. And I have a Christmas party at my house tomorrow! Too much to do...I guess I should also clean, but I need to finish my research proposal first since that's due this friday. I only have two classes left...I've finished two already. 

Next Christmas, I want to have some kind of amazing Christmas party, where I go crazy decorating. Maybe a cookie swap, ornament party, potluck dinner, secret santa, dirty santa, or something else. I've got a year to figure it out. This year I'm having a tennis party because I've wanted to for 3 years, and this is the first year I've done it. I had to since I won't be here next year, and one person is graduating, so I had no other choice. I'm excited though. This post is really scattered, but so are my thoughts. 

We've done one thing for the wedding...we have decided on a ceremony musician, a harpist. That's about it. We need to decide what to do for the reception. I need to print some engagement pictures to send Christmas/Save the Date cards. I'm excited about that. I guess that's what I'll be doing next week since I won't have anything else to do. Well, nothing else is really going on. I am looking for a new Christmas movie to see. I saw Four Christmases last Friday, and it was okay. 

I thought of something, I'm going to the SEC Championship game thanks to Christopher's parents! Merry Christmas to me. I hope they can find one ticket and my dad can find one or else I will feel bad that I'm going and they're not. I also hope we win that game so we can go to Miami! Roll Tide!
