Well this is awkward

Hello! I missed you!

It's been a few months since I updated this thing. Long enough for some very important events to go overlooked, like the establishment of an actual relationship or the first "I love you," or my first kiss...so many things you've missed out on!

Allow me to sum it up simply: I love that boy. And I'm not kidding around with that statement. In fact, give me a few years. I'm going to marry that boy. And this isn't one of those awkward situations where the girl is all ahead of the game and thinking about marriage and the boy is sitting at home playing Halo. We've talked about it. He's talked about it. To me, to his friends, to his little sister...it's a real live thing that we're going to share. And I am so excited for that.

But for right now, let me remind myself and anyone reading this that our focus in this relationship shouldn't be for three years from now. I need to put my attention into the things happening around me right this second, and I need to be able to enjoy the part of the relationship that we get to share right now, namely midnight gas station runs, ice cream, concerts, walks in the park, library dates, drives in the country...there's so much to miss out on when our focus is ahead of us instead of where our feet are.

And there's more to it than that. God doesn't want us to be thinking about what's ahead so much that we miss opportunities right now. His will is happening this very second, and that means that in the meantime, I can't be thinking about flowers or rings. But some day, we get to be that obnoxious couple with all the adorable wedding photos. And that's enough for right now.
