hiking and church....two new best friends!
What does hiking have to do with Church? A whole lot more today than last week thats for sure. I went to Bruce's house after work and we went for a walk. Around the large block of wooster middle school. Soo no problem here's how the rest went down:
mid walk:
Me: i wish we had a destination that we were walking to...
Bruce: we do..
ME: where?
Bruce: we're going to go through the woods..
me: why?
-----------------------------
time elapses and we get to entrance of woods...I tell him once again that he's got me as a girlfriend at the totally wrong stage in my life. My tomboy outdoor dirty buggy type stage ended when my sister/mom finally succeeded in turning me into a girly girl. I told him "my mom and sister did a really good job of turning me into a girly girl" and his response "well I'm going to have to do a good job of turning you into a girly outdoorsy girl" I laughed SO hard. He wants to take me to Kent falls and all these places hiking and camping. Which I definitely look forward to doing wiht him but kinda don't like bugs and exercise! Haha!
The best quote even better than the girly girl quote was his response to me saying, as we were walking through buggy woods, "remind me to beat you up for this later..." and he said "well you make me go to church.."
And I defended myself saying "I don't make you....I just ask you if you'd like to come and you come" He agreed and said "well at least I go" and I thought...wow he's right...so if this is the trade off, how awesome is that! He becomes a church goer, and I become a hiker/camper....Cant be too bad right? Everyone wins...his soul is enhanced through the grace of Mass and possible conversion through the sacraments...and my body gets healthier by excercising.
