It has been a long time since i have updated!!!
I have been in a bit of a funk this week due to the dramatic change in weather and the work load for school.
Butttt
Nathan and I are awesome! This weekend i went with him to a family gathering where i got the younger kids to play wiffle ball. It was really fun having them all turn to me as their authority, i liked that haha! I like to be in control, but i have given alot of that up. It is just really interesting to see all the new ways i interact with people now that god has really begun such large changes in me.
So anyways funny story now(not so funny when it happened). All of nathan's family and i were sitting down in the basement of his aunt's house waiting for the birthday man to arrive so we could all yell surprise. Well once we all did and were getting ready to eat, everybody at my table was just kinda chillin waiting for someone else to bring food and refreshments. So i asked if anybody wanted a drink...and nathan said"NO, Sitdown!" I knew exactly what he was thinking in his head when he said it. He was thinking this is a family gathering and your a guest, you shouldn't be taking care of the party arrangements. Of course i was still embarrased...so luckily his brother matthew said ill take an orange soda. SO i got up and got him a glass...and asked everybody what they wanted waiting to ask nathan until the very end so he could feel my embarrasement. Well we talked about it after the party and needless to say he said...the way i said that was nothing like what i meant to say. We laugh about it now!
Sunday we went to church, took a nap, took a long walk, went to go see the new land that his new house will be built on. It was really such a beautiful day and i love that we got to take a nap an then take a long walk. Nathan talked to me about alot of his childhood while we were walking and passing all his neighbors. I really enjoyed him alot on sunday, constantly throughout the day i would just look at him and admire him!
Anyways....
So my friends are all in a funk as well, but we have still been hanging out regardless which to me says alot. We stick by one another even through the tuff times. Alexis and Bryanne has gotten into a hudge blow out last week...well this week it is settled thank god. I told annie just the other day that i prayed for resolution between the two of them everday, and annie agreed that she had done the same.
I sometimes wonder if i am doing enough to spirtually guide annie. I tend to feel like im not doing enough like all the time so it's tuff to know when i really am and when im not.
Danielle and i talked for the first time in a while a couple nights ago, and that was wonderful. I was really concerned to know how she was doing. Come to find out she is better than ever, and sooooo much more grown up, which is amazing because i was really hoping that she would grow more independent. I always knew that she was a survivor!
SO yeah thats my update
