Fall Trip

Honey booked our tickets to Boston in November!!!! So, I've made quite an agenda for myself next month. I'm going to take my last Boards finally. I made that decision about 2 weeks ago and lately I've been going to study for it. It's actually hitting me that I've reapplied to take it again. Last time I failed the Clinical Simulation by 1 point. Yes, it Sucked! I orginally scheduled it to take it November 12. But I might have to change it to before the trip so I'd really have to buckle down and study for it. SO it'll be anyday before I head out to Boston. I asked my parents already but I need to tell them when I'm going now. >_< My parents are usually very restrcitive of me, But hopefully they'll ease off of me and let me go. I'm a grown 25 year old for goodness sake!
The past two days, while the weather is nice, Vinh and I spent the whole day together. Wednesday morning I went straight home after work to Nap. I woke up around 1 and went to Northwestern Mutual to sign for my policies. It's officially done. Then surprised Vinh and his parents by paying them a visit. It's been awhile since I sat and chill with them. This was when Vinh and I made plans to visit his family in Boston. They've been waiting to meet me and misses Vinh alot. He's been meaning to go visit them for the longest, but things just been coming up. But now is a good time, and just like that, our fall trip is booked. =) Anyways, Vinh wanted to take me out to a dinner date to Crazy Johnnie's Thursday but changed the plans to Wednesday instead. It didn't matter... so we went. Dropped my car at Barnes and he drove to Crazy Johnnie's... The prime rib was wonderful!! It tasted like Vietnamese roasted pig/duck with dipping sauce and the beef literally melted in my mouth. I had it cooked medium. Yummy!! Then we headed off to Barnes to study with my little sister. (He's preparing for the Boards too.) Unfortunately, it was full there so we went to Puccinno's instead. I'm blessed to be so happy in love. He opens the door for me still... *sigh* I love it when he drives!! Tien gets off work 11:30pm so he took me back to pick up my car and I went to the gym with Tien. I deem it was a productive day! knocked out til noon the next day. Thursday, we took my car to his friend Body shop to check out the damages and see if he can fix it when the insurance people contact me. They still haven't yet. I'll call them later. Turns out to be a good deal. And Tien told me about him too... Why didn't I just fix it?!
Anyways, Vinh and I was debating about the whole insurance adjustment process and what's the best thing to do right now. It was a steamed long debate. We were in his car in front of Lynn and Co. for a good 20 minutes before we walked in because of our convo. We'll just see how it'll all play out about my car in the next few weeks. ^_~ I know I'm right. Hopefully. Ha! Agenda today was to go Hoai's place, get estimate, swing by to get his hair cut, have dinner, go study, and gym again. As I was waiting for Vinh to get his haircut, I noticed it was slow today so I asked if it was okay for me to dry trim and re-layer my hair. Just to get rid of dead ends. Turned out to be a much more productive day with Vinh than I planned. We enjoyed the COmpany and conversation while getting our haircuts. Thao cut Vinh hair while Van did mines. We were all talking and chilling when I found out that Van lives near me and I know her little sisters. We talked about eyebrow tinting and Van's cars in front of her house. Laughed alot! Quite enjoyable until we were all done and was hungry. We were driving off and saw Lotus. So we just decided to go across the street and try it. It's the new Lotus sushi bar and lounge? Looked like a night scene kinda place. Not bad, but not to die for. His buddy worked there so it was a nice mellow dinner. Plus, we were the only ones there. Haha! It was around 5:30pm when we had dinner. Vinh noticed my gas was going low so he pumped gas for me too. *I LOVE IT WHEN HE DRIVES FOR ME* he notices everything. Then we dropped by his place again so he can shower. He has this thing about the little hairs making him itchy after a haircut. I stayed and chit chatted with him mom. She still pressing on the engagement/wedding stuff. >.<' I'm really speechless of how to answer her or approach it to Vinh (It's up to him really... put a ring on it babe!!)
Then we head off to Puccinno's and studied until Gym time again. He had his half tea/ half lemonade and I, a frozen puccino that I let melt and slowly sip on. and yes we do actually study!! I sit inside with the computer while he sits outside. And when it gets too cold inside I shut off my compter and go outside and read notes. It was lovely sitting outside with him. =) I can really see us, just be like us there years from now, instead of notes we'd read reading books/magazines. And still listening on our iPods and playing words with friends. *lovely sigh* Those are my fantasies these days. Anyways, I had alot done these past two days plus QT time with Vinh.

*edit: I called Insurance for update about my claim. They said it takes 2 weeks up to 2 months, especially New Orleans to send an electronic copy of police report. IDK WHY?!! So I just got back from traffic court and paid 20 bucks for a copy and faxed it to State Farm. and the waiting continues... I'm going to sleep for work at night. *
