Julie Ann Peiffer

Well, you all know who Julie is, and if you don't, here's a previous post catching you (mostly) up to speed.  Ok, now that we're all on the same page...  For those of you who do not have access to Facebook (if there are any of you) here is one of the pictures that I promised oh so long ago of Julie and I.


Awwww.... Isn't she gorgeous!?  There are more pictures of Julie and I here if you haven't seen them.  I know, neither of us take enough pictures.  And when we do, it takes us both so stinking long to get them put anywhere where other people can see them.  Well, I know that these next few pictures aren't exactly of people, but I figured that they are worth sharing anyway.  You see, I'm kind of in love with Julie and she (for some reason) seems to love me back.  Don't believe me?  Well, here is some proof:

This was from walking her home one night.  As we were walking through a parking lot, she decided she was going to write me a message.  So I sat there as she wrote that lovely note for me in the snow.

You'll probably have to zoom in on this one to see what it actually says.  I think I may have mentioned this before, but Julie got a hold of my computer one day when I had stepped out and left all of these wonderful notes on my desktop for me!  Sadly, when I sent my computer in to get it fixed, they closed all of the notes, but that's why I took a screen shot!  Now I won't ever forget how much she loves me!  :-D


Now this is what I found on my door the morning of Valentine's Day.  Again, isn't she so cute!  I have since taken all of the harts off of my door and transfered them into my bedroom.

These next pictures are from preference.  It was a Beauty and the Beast dance (thus the first picture).


 The beautiful dress my lovely date was wearing


 Not the best picture of me, but I love Julie's smile in this picture

Not only is she gorgeous, but she's funny too!

As you can see, we both love each other very much.  We have a tendency to spend any free moment we have together.  On top of that, pretty much all of our friends think that we are just a really adorable couple.  A while ago, Sarah, one of Julie's best friends since Freshmen year, made some sort of comment about if she had a quarter for ever time we did something cute...  Now every time we kiss or do anything that the group of friends thinks is cute, we will inevitably hear at least on person say, "Quarter!"  I find it rather funny, especially when Julie plays dumb and says that she doesn't know why insert cuteness here is cute.  There really are a ton of things that I love about Julie, but I won't go into those here.  I know that most of you reading this were directed here from Facebook, and are thus waiting for the story of how it happened.  Well, you're patience shall be rewarded!

Fridays are one of Julie's busy days.  She has 6 hours of class (comprised of only two classes) starting at 8 in the morning.  Disgusting, I know.  Some friends had invited Nancyann and us over to their place for a game night, so we figured it would be easier if Julie just came over to my place after she got out of class.  My only class on Friday's are my Folk Dance class at 2.  Julie gets out of her class just before 2.  So Julie headed over to my place just as I was leaving for my class.  I happened to have a test I had to take today, so I wasn't able to head directly home from dance.  I had a minute as I was walking over to the testing center, so I figured I would check my email/Facebook.  Low and behold, I had 8 emails from Facebook telling me that people had commented on my 'changed relationship status'.  Not knowing what the heck was going on, I got on Facebook myself, and sure enough, I had apparently gone from 'In a relationship' to 'Engaged' within the past hour without my knowledge and even without me actually proposing or asking any sort of question!  No sooner did I see the word 'engaged' than I got a phone call from my sister in law wondering what in the world was going on.  I explained to her that Julie was at my house, with my computer and therein lies the answer as to how I went from merely in a relationship to engaged without a single person in my family knowing about it before it was all over Facebook.  As soon as I hung up with Sheri, my mom called.  I didn't really give her a chance to say hardly anything before I went in on the explanation of what was going on.  It's probably a good thing too, she was apparently pretty ticked that I would get engaged and post it on Facebook without actually even calling home and telling her and dad first!  I can't blame her, that would be a pretty low/stupid thing to do.  I had to go take my test after I got off the phone with her, but now, not even 12 hours later, I have received countless notifications from Facebook about people liking and commenting on my 'engagement'.

At any rate, this is my way of telling all of you that I am, in fact, not engaged.  It was merely a prank that Julie pulled on not just me, but all of you as well.  I hope that you all aren't too horribly ticked off at us/her.  I, for one, find the entire situation rather hilarious!  If you were wondering how things are going between Julie and I, the answer is things are absolutely marvelous!  She really is a wonderful girl and I love her with all of my heart.  If that's not enough, well, just think about what this post was all about and think about what you know about my brother in laws (specifically shortly before they were my brother in laws).

Well, I think I have successfully put those crazy rumors to rest.  Though, I may have gotten some of you to thinking, potentially starting even more rumors :-D.  Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little fiasco at least half as much as I have!

Pictures and a Video

Well, I posted all of the pictures that Julie and I took on facebook, but there might be a few of you who don't have facebook, so here is a link to the album that they are in.

So, being an Elementary Education major, Julie often has random, somewhat odd projects that she has to do.  Her latest project was to make a video telling a story.  She decided to tell the story of The Princess and the Pea.  We enlisted the help of my room mates and a few of her friends to take the pictures then we compiled it all yesterday and made a video out of it.  In order to turn it in, she had to post it to youtube.  So that means you all have access to it as well!  Anyway, it was really fun to do and turned out to be rather cute.  I hope you all enjoy!
