It’s time for an update…not that I have anything “profound” to say but so that all of you who care can know what’s going on just in case I don’t get to talk to you.
Life is good. My dad has been interviewed three times in the same week for the same job which in the business world means very good things. We are all excited and waiting to hear back from the radio station (where he was interviewed). The only thing that we are really waiting for is for them to figure out how much they can offer to pay him. VERY EXCITING!!!
Today I got my hair cut…it is shorter than I expected, shorter than it was before…But it’s still cute. And since it was like seven months between my last two hair cuts I think it will be best so that I can handle my hair for longer. I like it. Especially since now the highlights don’t start three to four inches from my head.
Lately, I have been reading love stories of the Bible and surprisingly it has been making me happier about waiting to get married. hmmm…the Bible helping you over your depression…imagine that. I have been noticing how selfless they are. Ruth and Boaz were married to preserve a line that was not either of theirs (Ruth didn’t even belong to the same culture and Boaz could have started his own). Rebekah and Isaac didn’t even know each other until the evening that they married…amazing. And yet these two love stories are among those who are revered in the Bible. They are so beautiful…for those of you who haven’t read the story of Ruth you should really look it up…I read it in NASB translation and I think that it’s the most beautiful version I have read so far. Anyway, that is what I have been learning about…self-less love. Love that is not based on what it will do for you but what it will do for the Kingdom of God in the long run. Love that endures because it is founded upon respect, and I want to say duty but I don’t know that it is the best way to describe it. This love, these marriages look much different than the marriages that you see in the movies. Even though you do not see all the actions that transpire they seem to be so much deeper and truer to what God has called us to have.
Well, I didn’t mean for my post to be this long but those who are going to read my post are going to read it despite it’s length. =) I love you guys.

hey!! when you want to post something like what you psted on my xanga..you check the “Edit HTML” box which is right above where you post and then copy all the gibberish there..for future reference…beautiful post..and glad to hear about your Dad!!!..miss you and our chuch time..see you soon~AmyBeth~
stop talking gibberish or just stop talking… sorry, first thing I thought of from that comment up there… so, yeah. “is this love? or something to think of? we fool ourselves for comfort, we’re swayed by every wind. and if this isn’t true love, then we can just pretend.This is love. This is love, that You would die for me.”

that really is a beautiful post, and i’m glad you’re learning all of these things, but explain to me how you can trust someone so completely, and give them your heart, and what you think is love, and they completely betray you. almost to the point to where they pretend they don’t even know you, or care that you exist. they say hello to you in passing like it’s some kind of obligation, and eventually, they don’t say hello at all. perhaps i’m confused, but isn’t this the person that said he didn’t want to ruin our friendship? i’m not really sure what he thinks what he is doing is, but it seems to me like he’s completely disregarding almost 20 years of friendship. but whatever, perhaps it’s for the best, why would i want to be friends with a selfish jerk who only thinks of himself and how situations will affect him. (sorry for such a long comment, but after tonite, i really needed to vent, and you know all the history)
Sometimes I swear you’re going to single-handedly change the world.

Ashley likes to make her bed BEFORE she gets into it. Yes! It has occurred on more than one occasion! Just wanted to share. I love my roomie. She tolerates me when I am a horrible stick in the mud.
