Sushi, anyone?
This was from in Christchurch, NZ where Brandy and I spent the day. We went to a Catholic Mass, and climbed to the top of the Cathedral. I don't know that I have ever had a friend I felt more comfortable around, and laughed so much with. B- I miss you!
This much I know
Someday- He will come, and will pursue you like this...
I have faith that fairy tales come true.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I'm gonna be here for you baby~
I'll be a man of my word~
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard~
I wanna sleep with you forever~
And I wanna die in your arms~
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm~
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you~
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us~
I wanna honor your mother~
I wanna learn from your pa~
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw~
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you~
A man among men~
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been~
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you~
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us~
We'll follow the rainbow~
Wherever the four winds blow~
And there'll be a new day~
Comin' your way~
I'm gonna be here for you from now on~
This you know somehow~
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now~
And I'm gonna make you a promise~
If there's life after this~
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss~
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you~And I'll earn your trust making memories of us~I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you ~And I'll win your trust making memories of us

The Convo
Elizabeth: I mowed my own lawn this weekend.
Shane: (
laughing) I can't actually imagine YOU doing any kind of manual labor at all...
E: Really? I was like a champ out there... I pulled weeds and...
S: Ok, like gardening.
E: Well, yes.
S: Ok, but I picture you wearing a sundress with a large straw hat with a sunflower on top.
E: I would
never wear a sunflower on my hat.
Revelation
There is always pain before the child is born...As pain and brokeness collide, they make a path of simple clarity- re-birth.
Thank you to Jesus, my Savior, my Yahweh. You have never given up on me, and love me tenderly despite my feeble and seemingly faithless heart.
Your GRACE has found me just as I am... Broken, yet ALIVE in your hands.
NZ
Me and Brandy, in NEW ZEALAND!
Now that I am all settled into my house, I'll add all my entries from my trip...
Yup, boy asked me out...
A glimpse of my life...
Him: What are you doing on Saturday?
Me: Well, I have to weed the garden, do laundry, I'd like to buy paint, and-
H:(cutting me off) Ok, I get you are busy in the day. What are you doing in the evening?
M: Well, I hadn't really thought about it.
H: So you have no plans?
M: I guess...
H: Well, can I take you out?
M: Take me
out?
H: Yeah, like to dinner and maybe a movie.
M: Dinner
and a movie?
H: Come on, Beth, a date. I'm sure you have heard of that. Guy likes a girl. He takes her
out...
M: Oh... a date.
H: (laughing) Is that a yes?
M: Oh, yeah, um, sure. Sounds good.
I find it a little pathetic that at 23, I have no idea how to respond in this situation. I really didn't get it.
What is even more pathetic- I said yes, but I'd rather weed my garden.
And I thought I was getting over you-
Finally, it happened. You are more predictable than the sun rising. But, still, I love you.
