I May Have Forgotten to Mention...

By the way, last night, in the pitch dark, I felt my puppy beside me. Knowing that he was close I snuggled my face into his, like rubbing noses. I reached down to scratch his bottom and instead found his ears in my hands....

Yes, it happened. Later on in the night he turned around. He probably didn't want me to feel embarrassed for making such a mistake.

This is what I thought I was feeling...

This is what it felt like I was feeling...

This is what I was feeling. Yep. Goodnight.

Will He Not Leave the 99 for the One?

I thought I may Post today. I am currently finishing my Jazz Appreciation class, so that's fun. I updated my Profile Picture as well:

This is Alexander, my new dog. He's a hoot.

When he's not a hoot, he's a sleep.

I was pleased to accompany my mother today in a dress expedition. Normally, I don't like shopping. I'd much rather do something that calls to my inner man. However, I've had much experience through my dearest Erin on lady's clothes. I must say, today was more than a success. We found a green dress, just like she wanted, and I picked her out a belt and recommended that she use some type of shrug with the dress. It was a good combination and nice to see my mom twirling around for once. I'm glad she felt pretty because she sure did look it.
So afterward, we got a bite to eat. I am loosing my appetite for high calorie meals. I ate wings and yeast rolls, but I couldn't muscle through the loaded potatoes and fried mushrooms; there was just too much grease on my fingers.
Upon arriving home, I did not see my dog Alexander howling at me. So I decided to sneak around the back of the gate to surprise him. As I crept with the creepiest of creeps, my crux, my pup, was no where to be seen. So I commenced to calling and whistling, but to no avail; my puppy was not in the yard. Panic had not overwhelmed me until a visit to the neighbors' yard served me no success.  I have just decided that I really want this dog, and now I have lost him... Crap. I called, I clapped, I whistled, and rapped at the door to my neighbors' once again. He answered this time and told me not to fear, for my dog was sitting around the corner. On the deck he looked right at my face and ran right to my leg. I brought that one little lamb home with me, and now he sits on my bed.

Got in the zone there, sorry. I'll pick back up...

Days come and go, pulling me closer to my wedding day. Right now, I am a bit nervous, for various reasons. Mainly, I just want to be someone Erin can admire as her husband. Someone she can brag on. I've done my best to flex my muscles, but I am finding, such respect can only be obtained through hearty spirituality. So into my roots I go, hence a blog post. I don't intend on being mushy. I probably already write to quaint for most egotistical males to relate to me. Who cares, my mom always said in the words of Popeye, "I yam who I yam, and that's all that I yam."

More to come?...

Started out worshiping the Lord today to "Everything you do" by Cory Asbury.

(only by coincidence, I found this same song posted on my fiance's blog just a couple of days ago)

Valentines Day

Dear Universe & Erin,

Well many of you may not know, but today is Valentine's Day. I am awake and ready to go to work with my dark chocolate Hershey's bar thanks to a fine and beautiful maiden. She is a wonder to me. When I think back to our time together and all that we have been through, I am so glad I have chosen Erin. No one else could better love me than her, and I have chosen love, this day, and I all my days to come. I did not choose a girl who played hard to get, who was a tease, but a girl who was passionately and intently concerned about the person I am. Better even still, she was a girl shut up in a castle tower, and it took faith in God and humility to retrieve her. The person I am is fulfilled by only one other. Miss Erin Webb, I love you.

Most Sincerely,
Christopher

Erin = Cute

There are crumbs all over this table

Reminder: I love you.

Good Morning! I left my phone at the house.

The Harvestin' Begins

"Live Life with Purpose in Every Step"

My Purpose Today: I am going to try and bring back an animal from the woods for my girlfriend. On purpose.

B.S. & P.S.

How embarrassing it is to be an emotional wreck. I don't not wish it upon anyone.
I'm sick of crap like that. Recently, I have been getting really down and emotional... FACT: mainly because of chemical imbalances in my body which could be avoided by exercising. I was freaking out. Then I went for a run and was fine. Hence, reasons for not taking a car anywhere.

I read some of my old revelatory notes this morning. They were pretty good. One that sticks out to me this morning:
"As a man thinks in his heart, so he is."

Sigh. You're right God. I'm not depressed. Its not the children's bread. I should not pray mentally but out of the abundance of my spirit. I should not wait to feel like doing something, but act in faith and do it. Whether it feels right or not to study in the morning, when I am trying to figure out perfect ways to worship you for 5 minutes and take up an hour and a half being distracted, I'll study.

Wisdom for the day: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

That which comes out of the mouth of man defiles him. For the mouth speaks what is in the heart.

In my case, I emailed one of my teacher's about having dealt with some depression, and now that I'm over it, I feel like an idiot.

More wisdom: Steer clear of putting yourself in the position where you must apologize.

Better to remain silent and be thought foolish.

P.S. My girlfriend still makes my heart soar. I love you Erin.
