I really mean that it's worth the wait.

Do you remember when I wrote about waiting for the right person to come along?

Do you remember how I told you it would be hard?

Do you remember I told you that it would be worth it?

I can now tell you that I am 100% sure that it will be worth it.

Yes, that is an engagement ring. And yes, it is mine.

Jesse Schools asked me to marry him on Thursday, April 24th. I said yes.

Until I met Jesse, I had only had one other boyfriend, but we mostly just talked online, and I never ever kissed him or anything like that.

In fact, I had never kissed anyone until after Jesse and I were engaged, not even him.

It may seem ridiculous to a lot of people, but I can honestly say that I am very glad that I didn't date around, and that I didn't go off giving my affection to other people before Jesse. It's all been for only him. And he was the same way. He was 20 years old before he had his first kiss, before he even had his first girlfriend, and that was all me.

It's a wonderful feeling to know that someone out there waited for you because they didn't want to find someone less than perfect for them. And it's also a wonderful feeling to have waited for someone else in the same way. Because I don't have any unnecessary emotional or physical baggage.

I'm not saying that I never had a crush in all my years, I'm pretty sure that's impossible. But I've only ever fallen in love with Jesse, and crush is fleeting and goes away.

I only have about 4 weeks to plan the wedding, because May 25th, Jesse's 21st birthday, is the date. It's going to be a difficult 4 weeks, because we have a lot of work to do, and it's not going to be very easy. But I have a lot of loving family and friends who have offered to help with anything they can. Jesse is going to be working a lot, because we are buying a house. It's a lot to handle, but it's very very exciting.

I hope that anyone who has been reading my blog and following my story has been encouraged. Don't worry, it is possible to wait for the one that God has for you, you don't have to test everyone out.

I love you guys!!! I'll try to write again, but I am going to be very busy!

Cheers!!

Hallway Kids

In the movie, The Breakfast Club, there are several main characters to the plot of the story. It's a Brain, an Athlete, a Basket Case, a Princess, and a Criminal. They grow a special bond during the course of a detention one Saturday.

Each of the kids in this story are typical plot kids. You know what I'm talking about, it's the kids that movies are about. That movies are always about.

American Christians

The country I live in, the infamous United States of America, is a predominately Christian nation. We're the land of the free, we're welcome, and even encouraged to be anything we want: Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Atheists, anything we can think of. Nobody is forced into Christianity, not by any means, it's chosen because people want it.

Worth the Wait

I'm sorry you guys! I've kind of disappeared for a while.

Don't think I abandoned you completely though, I have started to write on several occasions, always ready with my research to write something that would help you learn something new, or open you eyes to something you had never thought of before.

But every time I started to write I would get distracted and then loose all motivation.

Why haven't I been writing?

To be completely honest with you guys, I met a boy.

Growing Pains

If you've ever hit a growth spurt, you know how badly growing pains can hurt. Sometimes it can feel like you've broken everything in your body. Sometimes you just want to crawl out of your own skin and run away.

But at the end, you're like, a foot taller. And you're like "hey, that was totally worth it."

Of course, there's still repercussions once the pain is over. Like buying new clothes because you outgrew all your old favorite jeans. And your toes getting squished in your old, favorite sneakers that you can't wear anymore. So it's out with all of last summer's clothes and time for new everything.

Doctor Who Fanfictions

So, I just found these really short little fanfiction stories I wrote a while back for a page I used to admin on Facebook.

If you're a Doctor Who fan, you might enjoy these...or not...

A journey of a thousand miles...

She's sitting on her knees, overlooking the valley.

Above her is a vivid blue sky, spotted with thin, trailing, white clouds. 

Far into the distance is a mountain. Tall, strong, and majestic, the purplish rocks look slightly menacing, and very powerful. 

The valley below her is green and lush. Further into the valley is a forest, dark, thick, and frightening.

She sits there, fingering the grass around her knees, the slight breeze playing with her hair. She watches as small creatures, birds, squirrels, groundhogs and the like, run about in the valley, busy with their lives.
