I am so excited about my life right now. For many reasons:

1) It’s my birthday this weekend! And it’s on a Saturday! And I know that I’m getting to an age where this isn’t necessarily something to look forward to, but honestly, I’ve never had a bad birthday. They’ve all been quite fabulous. One of my best friends, Michelle, and I have birthdays in the same week and we always go out and celebrate together and it’s always so much fun. So far we have 21 people confirmed for our joint birthday party. We are going to a comedy club first then out to a bar, which is kind of random but I went to a comedy club once a couple years ago wth Kent and it was SO much fun. Leah told me that she went to one last night, funny enough, and had a really great time. So now I am even more satisfied with my decision because I had been meaning to ask for her advice on the matter. Three of my five blonde sisters are coming along, Erica, Katelyn and Lauren (as long as she can get her booty back from Toronto in time). Should be a great time!

2) I booked my flight to Calgary to visit Leah and Tim in February! I called Kent to tell him that I was booking it, for some reason I felt the need to tell him before I did it and it’s a good thing I did because our conversation went a little like this:

Micaela: So I’m booking my flight to Calgary tonight!

Kent: You never told me you were going to Calgary. We’re getting married, shouldn’t we talk about things like cross country vacations?

Micaela: I didn’t? Sorry… I’m going the first week of February. I found a really cheap flight!

Kent: I’ll come, Book me a flight too.

Me: YOU WILL!?!?!??!?!?!

Apparently our communication skills need some work, but now I’m even more excited to go because not only do I get to see my long lost sister and her long lost boyfriend, I actually get to spend a whole week with Kent which is unheard of. We don’t get to spend much time together at all right now since I moved three hours away and he has a nutso work schedule. Our friends Laura and Matt are going too which we are very excited about because they are lots of fun and fellow skiers/snowboarders so we can hit up the mountains with them.

I was talking on the phone with Leah today about the trip plans and life in general and she said that she is really excited for me to meet her friend Natalie. She said:

Leah: I told her you were just like me but more fun.

Micaela: I am definitely not more fun than you.

Leah: Well… I guess it’s true that I’m more likely to get drunk on work nights than you are.

3) School is definitely agreeing with me right now. I’ve gotten lots of assignments and tests back so far this year and the lowest mark I’ve gotten so far was an A-. I was feeling kind of lazy and unmotivated here for the first while but now that I have lots of assignments due and readings to do I’ve kind of found my groove. I dragged Jen to the library to study on Sunday because at Laurier the library was the place I studied best, and we spent a few hours there it was wonderful and I’m addicted to it.

4) Barack Obama won! Amazing, I tell ya. I am very excited for my neighbours in America and to see what will happen next. And I mean my neighbours in a very literal sense, because I can see the bridge to Detroit from my house. I think my roommates and I are going shopping in the States on Black Friday, so we will celebrate Barack’s win by spreading some of our (sad, student) wealth with America’s (equally sad) economy.

5) I am getting so many great ideas for the wedding and an amaaaazing idea (okay, it’s stolen but still) idea for Save the Date cards… there is still TONS we need to do but really, it can’t start until after this Sunday when we are meeting with the priest to talk to him and finalize a date. At 10am the morning after my birthday. Should be a good time…

6) My favourite girl on America’s Next Top Model, Analeigh, is doing pretty good! I think she has a really good shot at winning. I watched the show with my roommates tonight and I decided that she is the prettiest girl in the world. Her style is WORLDS better than anyone else on the show. Their styles just don’t seem to make sense or suit their personalities while Analeigh’s seems to suit her perfectly. She is just super sweet, and apparently my new girl crush. Even Nigel agrees with me, I can tell he loves her.

Everyone has a girl crush. So do you. Admit it!

So here’s my question for this blog post: Who is your girl crush of the moment? Or, If you are a boy, who is your boy crush?

Sooo… spill!
