So the other night I was putting Nicky down for his bedtime. He was fighting me just a little and after singing his songs and tucking him in, he told me that when he woke up he was going to be a cat… After he said this he proceeded to meow at me and of course I meowed back. Dan told me to wish him good luck with that and of course I did. I had thought he forgot about it when he woke up, but a little on in the morning he curled up onto my lap and meowed at me. Meow, meow…
Flowers

I have to add this, I honestly just have to. Dan brought me flowers when he came out to stay with me this past weekend. As soon as I saw him walking down the steps toward me I know I started to blush along with the huge grin on my face. A dozen roses… and I know to him that it wasn’t much, but to me it was. It wasn’t any special occasion and he definatly didn’t do anything wrong, but just because he wanted me to smile. Smile I have done. I made him take a few pictures of them and I plan on drying them out so I can keep them. Honestly it was the first time I have ever gotten a dozen roses and he couldn’t have made it more perfect. Thank you again for being so perfect to me Dan.
It’s Your Love

Yeah, I know there should be something more than just lyrics here, but this one I heard tonight and all I could think of was my Dan and how much I love him. So, here it is… It’s Your Love by Tim McGraw
Dancin’ in the dark middle of the night.
Takin’ your heart and holdin’ it tight.
Emotional touch touchin’ my skin
And asking you to do what you’ve been doin’ all over again.
Oh it’s a beautiful thing don’t think I can keep it all in.
I just gotta let you know what it is that won’t let me go.
It’s your love,
It just does something to me.
It sends a shock right through me.
I can’t get enough.
And if you wonder
About the spell I’m under
Oh it’s your love.
Better than I was, more than I am
And all of this happened by taking your hand
And who I am now is who I wanted to be
And now that we’re together,
I’m stronger than ever
I’m happy and free.
Oh it’s a beautiful thing,
Don’t think I can keep it all in.
If you asked me why I’ve changed,
All I gotta do is say your sweet name.
Mere Christianity
January 7, 2009 at 5:50 am (Daily life, Ponderings)
One of my friends, Harry, gave me a book for Christmas called Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. Honestly I had my doubts, but it sounded interesting so I gave it a try. I have been reading it and making notes, comparing and talking about those notes with Harry over email and I can say it is more than worth the read. I’m a little over half way done with it and it makes you examine your life, systematically approaches Christianity and not just the because the Bible says so approach. It’s made me examine my faults and previous errors in my life and honestly made me feel better about many things. I’m so very glad I let him send it to me. I still don’t know what division of Christianity I wish to be or that I am, but at least I’m in the ballpark somewhere wondering around the outfield instead of laying in the grass in the park next door…
