What I Really Meant

"Maybe sometime I'll tell you why" I had such a great night last Sunday, that's what I said. So now I'll tell you.

The truth is, it was an excellent night without what I'm about to say (I got to hang out with singing buddies, sing around a bannister-thing with singing buddies, eat food ...). But with it, the tale becomes life-changing and so much sweeter.

On that great night, a sweet, beautiful and Godly girl said she'd enter into a special relationship with ... ME! This, my friends, is Amy:



And this, my friends, represents a shift in my life the likes of which I've never seen or felt before (and I thought adjusting to school was significant):



Now, this didn't come out of the blue. I'd been planning and plotting for months, gathering information and making key connections - this all happened, delightfully, without Amy's awareness. When I asked her last Saturday, she was completely and wonderfully blindsided.

Also surprising to you is that even on the by-log this didn't come out of the blue. Yes, a few days ago there was some rumblings in the comments, but that was after the fact. I want everybody to go back here, and stare at this post for awhile, noting not only its subject but also the number of paragraphs composing it. Think crossword puzzle, or something like that, and see what you come up with.

We are very excited. This is very new to both of us, and it will require much wisdom as we seek to learn to know each other and to know God together. It's daunting, but oh-so-exciting.
