I'm so confused...



Ok, so I have posted a picture taken on Sunday and then one taken today. On Sunday I was driving around with the convertible top down and now today we have snow. The weather has been like this all winter (ok, so this was the first snow). We have gone from the 70's to the 40's all in the span of 48 hours almost every week. I have really enjoyed the warm weather, although today going into work late was great. I haven't had anything off (even part of a day) due to the weather since college.

I do enjoy snow. I have this one memory from living in MI that will always stick with me. It was early spring and I woke up one Sunday morning to go for a run and it had snowed overnight. By early spring you are just ready for the snow to go away so I was kinda sad to see more. You see, when it first snows it is pretty, but after a few hours and the snowplow has come by the snow is dirty and ugly. While out running I saw that all the ugly snow had been covered I was reminded how in Isaiah 1:18 is says: "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." That is something I always remember when the snow is fresh.

2007


I think 2007 is going to be a great year, actually, I know it's going to be a great year. It will be a busy year with hopefully some big a wonderful changes.

Back in like August of 2005 I went to a Durham Bulls game with a group from my LifeClass at church. There I met Brian Simmons and totally thought he was cute and I wanted to get to know him better. Fast forward to April 1, 2006 and we are both at a Final Four party with church and I sit myself down next to him for the whole time and we talked. He is also in the same Bible Study I am in so we are slowly getting to know each other. In June (I think) we start unwilling each other and getting to know each other better. We both like the Carolina Hurricanes and after we won the Stanley Cup we were talking and he had the final game on tape. Being the sneaking person I am I ask him if he will make a copy of it for me. The game came out on DVD, which I got for my birthday, but I keep asking Brian to tape the game. Finally, we set a time for me to drop off my VCR and a tape. While I am getting everything together I get a call and have to run to the office for a few minutes. I call Brian to let him know I will be late and he askes if I would like to go out to dinner that night. So we had our first date on August 1, 2006 at Chili's (his favorite).

Things are serious and we are going to a LifeClass at church called 'Before You Say "I Do" which is to help you get ready for marriage. Now all I have to do is wait for him to talk to my parents and then ask me to marry him!!!!
