Tuesdays with Micaela: Dresses and Long Distance Relationships.

Some of my favourite bloggers have been posting about dresses this week, inspiring me to write my own “dress post.”  I had been wanting to get a white dress to wear for my wedding rehearsal in August, well and because I love white dresses in general. I found this one at Jacob about a month ago, and recruited my #1 roommate to take (secret, bathroom because there were other roommates and boyfriends around and I would have felt silly doing this in public as you can probably understand) pictures of it. In the first one, I was still sitting on the toilet putting shoes on, but I kinda like it anyways:

And it has pockets! What’s better than that?

What else is new? Well Kent and I are officially knee deep into our long distance relationship. Until recently, we’d been living two hours apart since September, but it was alright because we saw each other every weekend. Now he’s four hours away and my school and his work schedules made it not possible to see each other last weekend or this upcoming weekend, and probably not that often for the next few months. I miss being around someone who makes it their sole purpose in life to make me laugh as much as possible, and of course someone to hug whenever I feel like it (which is a lot!) But it’s also kind of sweet to hear how much he misses me all the time. That definitely doesn’t make up for it, but it makes things a little bit better. We are both definitely doing what is best for ourselves right now, which I think is a really good thing, and luckily that means only being apart for the next two months.

I have so much stuff to do for school and for the wedding that it will occupy my whole weekend. My friend Tori helped me make a wedding and school to-do list for this weekend and it took up every line of a sheet of 8.5/11″ lined paper. If Kent was around I would probably get approximately zero of these things done, so in a way it’s probably best that I don’t see him until all my applying to school boards is over and done with in a couple weeks. My stressed-out self is not a fun thing to witness. Although – Kent called me and woke me up really late last night when he got home from work (I asked him to.)  I really did try not to be cranky but it didn’t really work because I wasn’t completely conscious. This morning I got an email from him saying that I sounded “really tired and cute.” So really, perhaps he should be around this weekend because he may be the one person that can find me cute when I’m cranky.
