sorry its been a few days. dan's last day of work was this past friday, and with him around the house i'm not on the computer much ;)

not too much has been going on, really. went shopping a few times, dan bought me some new clothes and a couple other things :) and a couple nights age (saturday) we went to an opera, the entire family. that was cool... i had never been to one. we went to wolf trap and saw "the marriage of figaro". it was very good, and those people have incredible voices. it was nice, but a bit long in my opinion (4 hours!).

yesterday was really nice :) dan and i went to the mall in the afternoon, just for something to do. we basically just walked around, looking at stuff. so then we came home, and we ate dinner, and all that good stuff. then judy and nicole started to clean up the dishes from the table, and dan's mom went into the kitchen. a few seconds later, all three come out, and everyone starts singing happy birthday!! dan's mom had a red velvet cake (my favorite) with two candles and "happy birthday jessica" written on it :) i actually got tears in my eyes, can you believe that? i'm such a girl sometimes. as if that weren't sweet enough, i then got presents!! from the family, i got two really awesome lion books. very very cool :) and from dan i got a pair of doc martens!! i've been wanting these boots since 8th grade, but i've never been able to afford them. and now i have a pair, ooooooooo, they're so pretty!! yay dan! so that was really nice! and its not my birthday *yet* but yesterday was the best opportunity to celebrate it.

so i put on my boots, and they were too big :( so dan and i rushed into georgetown, where he bought them, and exchanged them. i've been wearing them ever since :) (but of course, my feet are *killing* me trying to break them in!). when we got back, two of dan's friends were here. we eventually got a couple more people together, and all went bowling. the guys were really cocky, but of course i blew all four of them away with my 139 :P hehe, i like the one guy's excuse: "they have a better lane than us!!" it was fun.

then today i went and got my license renewed. it expires in 10 days. so i finally have a new license. and its actually a decent picture! :P imagine that....

also, i've gotten things pretty much cleared up with the school. they have all the paperwork they need, and it looks like i'll be able to go to school this semester after all!! yay!!

i think i should go entertain my man now.... :)
