So… I’d told myself that I wasn’t going to be “one of those” — the people that use their blog/xanga/whateveryoukidscallthemthesedays to gush about that “special someone” that makes their eyes light up and heart jump for joy… But, in the interest of being able to direct people here in lieu of going through it in 101 different conversations via IM, I’m going to have to break that unwritten rule. I promise to keep these entries few and far between so as to not annoy those of you that have me RSS aggregated in with many others. ![]()
A few weeks ago I began speaking with a delightful young lady, Vanessa, that had a heart completely on fire for God. Not that these things can be used alone to judge a person’s faith, but she is active in her church and is even interning with the youth ministers this summer. How cool is that?! We’ve been spending an extraordinary amount of time together the past couple weeks, and I’ve come to the decision that she’s definitely something special. With any luck, she won’t figure out any time soon that girls like her aren’t supposed to hang out with computer geeks like me! (I kid… I don’t think I’m that bad of a guy, but I can’t resist poking fun at myself.)
To top things off, she has a great family! I’ve had the opportunity to hang out with them a few times — one of them while she was out of town. I have to admit that I was a little nervous about that ( “What am I doing?!” ), but it turned out to be a great time… and, you really can’t lose when you get invited to a home-cooked meal while you’re in college! Heck, I even got to bring some leftovers home! (Thanks, Amy!)
