Tom, Devon & Devon's sister Kasey came over yesterday and well all went swimming, played on the ferris wheel and played board games then went swimming again. We all had an absolute blast. Tom began to get over his fear of the water (he almost drown so he has gone for almost 10-years without going into the water at all) He had come over once before, so we had taken him swimming in the river and that was truly when he began to get over his fear of the water; but with Kasey there, he decided he would try going in over his head if he had floaties. He did FABULOUS.
Tom would like to date Kasey, and had talked to me about it; after watching Kasey with him, I do not think that he has super solid grounds to doubt her; but she has a boyfriend and it causes issues somewhat. She will be leaving for college in Sept. and he is fearful that she will leave and not want him at all after she comes back, if she ever comes back.
Devon will be leaving for the marines in August, he is an artist and not someone I would think of to become a marine, however he will do well either way because he has character and will earn respect where-ever he goes no matter what the situation.
Kasey is a respectable girl, much to good for many of the men in today's world. I do not know her background, but I know that she handles herself with grace and poise like a lady. Being that I have only been around her in church and then yesterday it is possible that I will find she is less of a lady than I have first thought; but Tom does not go for just any girls... he goes for the good girls, the girls who refuse to allow men to kiss them or to have sex before they are married.
Tom has many characteristics that I would like to see in my future husband; but I do not want Tom himself. Kasey is free to have him if she decided she wants him. I simply think he will be a good influence on my brother (and perhaps myself).
I have asked for some real, good friends offline for a long time... and now the Lord seems to have given them to me through my choices to step away from the old church and stop allowing the my grandmothers to dictate where I will go to church.
