Last night Felipe checked a laptop out for me from campus so I wouldn't have to go home and get mine to do homework at his apartment. You can renew the laptops every three hours and even though I was watching the renewal page the link to renew wouldn't work for me and the laptop was overdue. Not even a big deal at all. It's $1 an hour for every hour, but it closes at 11 and my computer expired at 10 so I was only over $1 on Felipe's account. I was so upset because I had been trying to renew the computer but the site wasn't letting me and for whatever reason I just started crying. I felt so dumb! I don't know why I reacted so strongly, but I did. And I love Felipe because even though we both felt I was being dumb he just hugged me. He comforts me whenever I'm upset, whether it's a legitimate reason or not. He'll always hug me and just hold me until I feel better, wipe my tears, and talk to me to calm me down. He never tells me to just suck it up or stop being dumb. And I know it's a little thing, but I know I can cry in front of him and feel safe. And I love that about him.
And now for the second reason: Last Saturday I had a phone interview with Teach for America and I was semi nervous. Felipe and I were talking before-hand and I was saying how I was praying to get this job, but recognized that the Lord knows what is best and what is in store for us and maybe this is not the best thing for us right now. So I was reassuring myself that even if I didn't get the job, it doesn't mean that I bombed the interview. He agreed with the logic but said that I must have meant "bum". I didn't "bum" the interview. What? No the phrase is to "bomb" something, like to suck it. People say they bombed a test when they did really bad, but Felipe insisted that people are saying they "bummed" their test, like butt bum. That's why people say "bummer", not "bomber". I love that all the time he's been here he thought people were saying that they bummed their test. I love Felipe for the reason that English is his third language and for all the funny things he says sometimes!

bahaha its like Gloria in Modern family "dogie dogie world"
One of the things my mom had both Scott and I do was write how we first met and how we felt about the other person. She put it in our wedding album and every once in a while it's really neat to read that, especially when we are having a hard time. The crying thing is one of those things that helps remember how much he does love you when the negative thoughts come. :)
That's supper funny about the bum thing! haha
