:D

I just wanted to let you all know that Danny and I are back together again. :)
We've both gone through a lot during our time apart. We've changed a lot; grown alot. As we rekindled our friendship, we've encouraged each other, supported each other through tough things, and helped each other grow closer to God. And we've been learning, little by little, to put Him first in our friendship/relationship with each other and our lives. Through this, a magical thing has been happening; we are falling in love again. I feel peace about our lives together, and, I think that this is the right time, and the right way to go about things. Even though we still have a lot to work on and work out, I think that with God's help, we can do it together.
If you pray for me, please pray that we continue to seek God's will and way in our relationship, and that he guides us in other areas our lives as well.
I am finally inspired to start taking care of my body again. I've been eating horribly, and gaining about 5 pounds a month... it's disgusting! I am going to start by changing a few unhealthy habits first, and hopefully over time that will make enough of a difference to inspire me to continue. I've realized that I have rather poor self-control...it's funny; I used to be so strong in that area.
I am leaning toward going to Lawrence next year, instead of Alverno in Milwaukee. There are several reasons for this, one being that the psychology and Spanish programs both are better at Lawrence, two that I would really much rather be in Appleton near my family, and not in the scary bigness of Milwaukee, nor near perhaps difficult memories and "what if" questions. I would be required to live on campus at Lawrence anyway, which I think would be good for me. My good friend Heidi is also planning to attend Lawrence, and we are thinking that we would make great roommates. Also, I could continue to go to my church Christ the Rock, where I am beginning to make friends and feel like I belong. The third reason is that I was realizing that one of my main motives for going to Alverno is to be near Dan, though really, I think it would be better for our relationship and both of our academic careers if we were farther apart, and not tempted to see each other so often. I like how much we talk too when we are apart, sad as that may seem. Dan is in agreement with me on all of these points; he is really prioritizing his schooling right now, and I am proud of him for that.
