crazy little thing called love

Hello all (and by that I mean Colleen)

Well it has been a few months since I have done a REAL update, so this will be a two part blog.

First, my life:

The reason I have not updated a whole lot is my life tends to be boring. I do have a new (well almost three months now) girlfriend. Her name is Kelsey and she is wonderful. I am guessing all of you know this already, but in case I get one person who does not know, there you go. We have been dating for almost 3 months now, and it has been wonderful.

I will tell you our story now, if it interests you. We meet about 5 months ago now, just a few weeks before christmas through some mutual friends. The first time we hung out, I do not think either of us were all that impressed with each other. I am not saying we did not like each other, but it was not a "I knew the first time i meet him/her" type of thing. However the next night, we all started to hang out again, and quickly people started leaving and it ended up being just me and Kelsey watching a movie and talking. That is when i took notice.

As some of you know, she is a tad younger, but i was impressed with her ability to converse and her maturity and levelheadedness. So we started to hang out more, and we quickly realized that we liked each other.

I knew at this point that we both liked each other, but i was not sure if we should date. So what I said to her was something along the lines of, "I like you, and want to make sure we should be together before we become official." So for about a month, we went on dates, hung out and prayed to seek the Lords will on our relationship.

Because of some random issues, after a month i was still not sure if we should be together, but i remember praying to God that he would just make it abundantly clear his will for us. This is how great God is at answering prayers, not only did he resolve the situation, with out my urging or asking of kelsey, during worhip on sunday,i was praying about it, and God just gave me this huge sense of ease about it all.

So that Wednesday Jan 7th, we went on another date, afterwards we drove down to pismo to walk on the pier a bit. While on the peir, i decided then was the time, so i asked her if she would officially become my girlfriend, then we found a bench and prayed about our relationship.

Three months later, we are doing well, especially these past few days. I am going to try and post some pictures of us, but i am not sure if i know how so sorry if they do not come our right.
