<FONT face=arial>This is a layout I did to tell my feelings about my friend Vasil and his taking me to the nutcracker. The pink ribbon is from my dress. We go on Thursday, so I don't have a picture yet, but I will. The journaling reads:<BR><BR><BR><BR><FONT color=#ff0000>Vasil is such an amazing person. He is always doing things for others because <BR><BR>he likes to see people happy. One of his best traits is his listening skills. He pays<BR><BR>attention to details. I had mentioned to him before how much I love the nutcracker. <BR><BR>I remember the first time I saw it, I was totally mesmerized. So one day he called<BR><BR>me and told me to get a dress he was taking me to see the nutcracker. I was super<BR><BR>excited, but I didn't realize the extent to which Vasil was going. Once we really <BR><BR>started to talk about this, I saw that this was going to be a major event. Not only <BR><BR>did he want me to get a dress, but he wanted me to get a formal dress. He then <BR><BR>proceeded to tell me about this super trendy restaurant that he was taking me to. <BR><BR>Then he dropped the bomb about the limo. Now I am a very simple girl. Things like<BR><BR>this are not a part of my everyday life. I insisted on paying for my share of the costs, <BR><BR>but Vasil wouldn't hear of it. I told him I was very uncomfortable with him spending<BR><BR>all of this money on me,especially since he is not my boyfriend...we are best friends. <BR><BR>But he made it very clear that he wanted to do this because whenever he mentions <BR><BR>the nutcracker I get this amazing twinkle in my eye and he likes to see me happy. I <BR><BR>didn't even know what to say to him. So I went to work and was telling the ladies I <BR><BR>work with about this. They have taken to calling me cinderella. All of them have <BR><BR>been so great. Marsha even bought me this amazing beaded purse to wear with my <BR><BR>dress. She told me that if she had a daughter she would want her to be exactly like me.<BR><BR>I am not use to be taken care of like this. I totally feel like cinderella going to the ball!</FONT></FONT>
