Little Miss, T-Rex and I spent the weekend in Columbus, Ohio at a waterpark resort with my parents and in-laws. We were all attending the Ohio Regional Fellowship of Christian Magicians convention. Sadly, Ked had school and was unable to join us. It was the first FCM convention I had been to in at least [...]
Get caught up here! That summer marked our last FCM before college, as well as our first national conference together as a couple. Ked and Ryan drove down and met up with my family at my house. Ked, Ryan, a friend of mine and I all rode in Ked’s parent’s van following my parents out [...]
Get caught up on the series here! My graduation rolled around in mid-May 1995. about one month before Ked’s graduation. He made the drive down for the ceremony and my breakfast open house the following morning. Joel and I had taken the top two spots in our class and we each gave a speech. I [...]
Get caught up here The process of coming of age is never an easy one. The journey from high school to the independence of college inherently holds a certain amount of apprehension for the unknown. For us, college had an extra unknown. What would it be like to see each other every day? Would we [...]
We continued to survive day-by-day, and finally senior banquet arrived. Mark, Tony, Joel, an underclassmen couple, and I had all gone together to rent a white stretch limo from my cousin’s limo service. We had our outfits planned and where we’d hang out afterwards. I could not wait to show off my man in a [...]
I have another post up at Our Circle of Friends…. The snow crunched under my feet. I paused outside the heavy glass doors. The playground was eerily quiet, the lull before the storm of five to seven-year-olds about to invade. Slices of bread hung by yarn on a tree, flapping in the wind, awaiting hungry [...]
Get caught up on the series here! I attended a small Christian school with a graduating class of 25. There were 9 girls and 16 guys in our class, and over half of us had attended school together since kindergarten. They were a great group of people. During the last few years of high school, [...]
Get caught up on the series here! We managed to arrange a visit in my hometown between Christmas and New Year’s. It helped tremendously to have parents who were overly supportive of our relationship and the need to see each other occasionally. Ked spent a few days at my house over the break, and when [...]
At some point during the fall I was able to confess to Ked that although I wanted to wait to kiss, he would not be my first kiss. It had taken me awhile to work up the courage to admit it to him, and I wanted to have the conversation face-to-face. I feared that he [...]
I just wanted to pause in the re-telling of the love letters series to say thank you. Thank you for all of the kind comments you have left here and on Facebook. I have been humbled as you have expressed your desires for your own children to have Godly dating relationships and open communication with [...]
