And that he kind of takes my breath away. What if I told you he was kind, and sincere; intelligent and insightful. What if I told you my knees go weak when he looks at me with his sea green eyes, and that I love how I have to look up when I’m talking to him because he’s just that much taller than I am. What if I told you he has a heart for God like no one I've ever met. What if I told you that he holds my hand without hesitation, and that he never cuts me off when I start to ramble. What if I told you he has the most beautiful olive skin, and perfect facial hair (not too manicured, but also not too mangy). What if I told you he wants a house full of kids and would make the most amazing father. What if I told you that he expresses emotions without fear, and that he handles my moods better than any psychologist I’ve ever had. What if I told you that my stomach get’s gooey when he kisses me, and that he somehow understands when I get scared and knows how to ease my fears. What if I told you that I couldn’t imagine ever letting anyone in forever… until I met him.
What if I told you that I just made all of that up, just to see how it felt to write it.
Sorry. That was mean. Sometimes I get a little carried away!
Really, today is just a housekeeping kind of day around the blog. Just a few things I wanted to let you all know about…
For instance – what if I told you that I am starting to become overwhelmed by all the love and support you guys have shown me, and as much as it makes me smile; I am getting to the point where I almost can’t keep up with all the comments and e-mails.
What if I told you that as a result, I’m making some changes around here to make it just a little bit easier for me.
I have a new commenting system. I had avoided installing something for a while because I didn’t want to confuse anyone, but it’s gotten to the point where I need something. This will make it easier for me to respond to everyone, which is something I really want to be able to do! I know new things can be daunting at first, but this isn’t really all that scary. You can either sign up with an account through Disqus (which would make it so that you would never have to fill in the fields when commenting – they would already be there waiting for you to comment whenever you stopped by!) or you can fill in the name and e-mail fields whenever you comment (along with your blog address if you would like!) It really shouldn’t take any longer than the word verification used to take either way, but it will make it easier for me to comment back to everyone. Sometimes I get the most wonderful comments from people with no blog or e-mail link, and I’m sad because I really do want to say something but it is hard to respond 15 comments in to something that was said in the very beginning. That’s the other thing I like about this - it is set up like threaded comments, so you can respond directly to other commenter’s if you like! Go ahead, give it a try, hopefully it won’t be too scary!
The other thing going on is I am starting a new bible study at the urging of a friend. The study is “Captivating: Unveiling The Mystery of a Woman’s Soul” by John and Stasi Eldredge. A few women have expressed an interest in doing a group study through the community, so if you are interested in reading along and participating – check out the details here.
And because I know the beginning of this post will have everyone asking – there is no new news on the ex front. Still waiting and seeing over here. I actually have a date with the girls next Friday to make the big sperm purchase, so as of now everything is moving along as originally planned. You will all be the first to know if something changes though!
But seriously; if any of you meet the man described above, would you please send him my way?
A one way ticket to Alaska sounds perfect!
