Best Christmas Gift Ever

Ok I know its like a month after christmas now, so this post is a little late coming. But just relax would you. Time doesn't grow on trees you know.

I had a lot of time off over the holidays cause work was slow so we had about a month off between the second week of Dec and the second week of Jan. The break/rest was totally from God cause He did so much in our lives during it. But no, blogging was not part of it, to bad for you. It gave me much needed time to rest a bit and reconnect with God. Oh I love connecting with my Daddy. He is truely amazing and His love is so enduring, even when I'm being an ass. haha. And it gave me and Angela time to build on our God centered friendship that has now become more than just a friendship!! ;o)

For christmas this year I recieved the best gift I've ever got, other than salvation via Jesus. On Christmas eve morning at around 8 am, I got me a girlfriend. The sweetest and beautifulest girl on the face of the earth (yes I'm biased, deal with it). Her name is Angela Michelle Lichti. Ya, thats Angela in the pictures with me, good observation dear reader.

I arrived at Angela's house at 7:40 am, which means i left my house at 6 am, and meet her mom as we had aranged. You see, I wanted to surprise Angela, try to catch her off gaurd if I could. And I did mostly, except I forgot to hide my shoes, ugh. But even though she did see my shoes before finding me in the basement beside the warm fire, I think it was still a pretty good surprise.

I gave her the two red roses I picked out for her and then we sat down on the couch. I pulled out a piece of paper with the poem I had written on it. I didn't have it quite memorized, so i held it in the hand of the arm that was around Angela's shoulder so I could glance at it when I forgot my place, haha yes I am a clever man. Of course the ending of the poem asked "will you go out with me?"

And she said...


YES!!!!


wooohoooo!!!!
