Baptism Ear-Ache

My love got baptized on Sunday and I'm so proud of her. She really took it seriously and was very emotionally overwhelmed (as was I). I have to say that it was one of the more defining moments of our relationship and I hope it's something we'll always remember together as a point where we both shared the fullness of how much we want to do our best to live for God.

I'm proud of you, baby!

Then, later that day I went swimming with my family and got water in my left ear. It hasn't come out yet... :( I can't hear out of that ear very well, so if you'd like to pray for me, I'd appreciate it! :) Thanks!

Well, I gotta get to work... hopefully all goes well today and I glorify the Lord!

Tattoo Dream?

I just had a dream that I was giving someone a tattoo. It was weird and scary at the same time. I was like, "Sweet! I'm giving someone a tattoo! Wait... I don't know how to give a tattoo... :O"

In the dream I messed it up pretty bad and I felt pretty dumb. Oh well. That's what dreams are for. To let us know what we're not doing in life and to let us explore those things we may never get a chance to do.

Our kitten is so cute. I never did write about her here, but we have a little kitten. Her name is Halo. Most of the time N calls her Bubbuz and sometimes I call her 'kitten'. lol Her full name is Luna Halo E**s the Third. I like it.

Well, I gotta take a shower and head out to work. Peace.

Going to work

I'm about to go to work. So, I think this is just to get an entry in since I've been so lax about it for the past year.

Anyway, I hope it goes well. I pray that I do my best and that God blesses it.

Swimming

I forgot how much I love swimming. My love and I went swimming after she got home from work. It was cold at first, then got warm, then got cold again. haha It was one of those things where you get used to the water but then the temperature drops outside and kind of ruins it. Either way, it was a fun time.

She just chatted and chatted about her day and was being who she is when she's so pure and innocent. It's so cute. I got to see her drenched with water and just noticed how beautiful she was all over again...

I love her.

We're getting married in just 6 weeks!

We did get into a little tiffy this morning but she called and apologized directly afterward... God is so faithful. I had just prayed not 2 minutes before the call. I know she loves me, it just hurts how she talks sometimes because it just seems as though she doesn't. But, again, I know emotions are real, but you can't base truth off of them.

Work was aight. Well, we're about 3 work days into a little experiment that Bill and Abe have going on. Dex will be in charge for one month, followed by me, and vice versa for a couple more months after. Then, we'll be evaluated and a manager will be named from between the two of us.

All I know is that I work for God first and foremost. I pray that I bring Him honor each day in all I do and say... though, that part is the most difficult. It seems as though all I bring Him is shame since I make so many mistakes... not only that, but it seems that all that people want to focus on these days. Negativity. It's a real challenge to portray that which you believe in most without coming up short once in a while... or even all the time. =/

Oh well, I guess that's why there's forgiveness...

I love her

Ok, one month, 18 days until we're married. We've overcome so much and we've grown closer still. She's the love of my life and I've met none like her. I'm looking forward to marriage for so many reasons... the reasons I had as a kid and the newly found reasons I've picked up on my path with her.

First off, I love her more and more each and every day. I love her more as she grows closer to the Lord. I love her more when she looks at me and makes her silly faces and whines at me to hug and kiss her...

She's truly one of a kind and the love of my life. I appreciate so much about her. When she's who God made her to be, she's the most kind, loving, caring, gentle person I know. She cares so much more about other people than most people I know... she's passionate! Passionate to the core! She's got the best eye for creativity that I've ever been around. She can take a piece of paper and turn it into a beautiful collection of art.

She's driven to do what's right... like, right when I need it. She's always encouraging me to be doing what's best for us and for others. She's courageous... my goodness is she! She'll be afraid of doing something, and when I see that I think usually that person will not do it... but not her. She does it! She'll grit her teeth and go what needs to be done. She's extremely strong and yet is as sensitive a person I've ever known.

She loves the lost and needy... she cares for each person she meets, even if she doesn't care for the way they hurt others. Without her, I'd be stuck doing nothing with no ambition. She's the love of my life and I'm so grateful to have known her.

I cannot wait to marry her, fall sleep next to her, wake up with her, and fall in love with her all over again every morning...
