A day late but nonetheless... Train!

So my Cherisey sister and I were talking on the phone last night discussing various locations wherest to have a wedding. One of the worst being outside of Lloyd cinemas, but of course that is not as bad as getting married on the MAX tracks and having to yell, "train!" whenever one should be coming. It could be quite a hassle getting your entire wedding party on and off the tracks many times during the ceremony. I suppose the person performing the wedding could talk like an auctioneer, really fast, :) that's a funny thought picture, cause the bride and groom would have to talk fast too, and they'd keep getting interrupted by the best man and/or the maid of honor whose job it would be to warn everyone of impending doom. hahaha, that's funny. Funnier that getting married in the street and yelling, "car!" because cars always have more time to stop and are far more likely not to squish the entire wedding party and guests. And that's always good. Logan and I haven't decided for sure where we're going to get married but rest assured it won't be on the MAX tracks... though the intersection of 15th and Halsey might be nice, then we can all go into Applebees afterwards and get sodas or strawberry lemonades. But I wouldn't be able to get a discount unless I worked that day, aaaaand I'm not working that day so, sorry guys you'll have to come up with about 2 bucks each if you want to come to my wedding.

I am a flower and I have something to say

I was woken up this morning at about ten to 6 by a loud sort of ringing... Well it wasn't really ringing... It was the Army song but it was unexpected and loud for 5:55AM. I didn't recognize the number on my caller ID so I answered the phone with a fuzzy sort of confused "hello?", to which Logan answered, "You should be awake! it's almost six there!" :D hooray for phone calls from my dear, sweet Logan :) They make me so happy! As always I know nothing of where he is or what he is doing other that it's really really hot, dry heat but enough to make you sweat profusely apparently. I have 33 pictures of him in my room at least 19 of which have me in them too. It makes me happy to have all those pictures around, especially when I have a voice to listen to when I stare at them. He wants me to send a CD with my voice on it so that he can listen to it when he looks at pictures of me, :) little does he know.... well, I can't say on here he might read this. ;)

Weird, mean or most funny person? Ummm... I don't think I have any recent stories worth repeating... at least none that I can recall well enough for them to be interesting. And by that I mean being able to say more than well... there was this guy... and he was mean and he said, "Can you take my order now?" but HE was the one who didn't call and parked in the carside spot and came in and DIDN'T tell the hostess that he wanted to order carside so of course we treated him like someone who was trying to be illegal about using the carside spot! How could he get mad at us for THAT? huh? The little paper tape.. ish wrapper thingys are nice, they make the rolled silver not fall apart all the time. That's nice. .... .... ok I'm out of things to say again, I'm tired but I'm just fine with being woken up if it's Logan doing the waking :)

I love you baby! Keep up the awesome work, you're my hero! You'll be home before you know it and until then I'll be missing you and waiting for you and loving you. R2G honey.

good morning

It seems this poor blog needs a new post. So here we are... I am a flower with nothing interesting to say...

I miss you at night... when distractions wane and my heart remembers it's lonely

I'm a little sad tonight, I miss Logan. I wish he could be home now but I don't have much to complain about; he's been able to write e-mails, talk to me on the phone, and I've been able to send him letters, candy, and other presents. I suppose I'm just being emotional, in any case I'm going to bed because it's late and staying up later will only do harm.

Thank you Father that your arms more than big enough to wrap around me when I'm lonely. And thank you that you are always faithful to hold me close when I want to (and do) cry. I love you Lord. Show me the grace that you've given me to stand in this time and to become closer to You and greater in my faith than I ever thought I'd be. Help Logan to see you in what he's doing and in where he is, give him your heart to have love and give love through prayer and deeds even though his job demands violence. I love you Lord, please wrap Your arms around Logan too, he's more lonely than I am. Thank you Father, for all You have done, are doing and will do in my life and Logan's. Amen.

More tears than I'm used to

I cried again today... I guess that isn't bad but I wish I was braver than I feel like I am. I missed a call from Logan tonight which is why I cried. He left me a message and told me not to feel bad about missing the call, but he knew I was going to anyway, and I do. When I saw that I had 2 messages on my phone after work I thought, "please don't let it be Logan" and the first one wasn't but as SOON as I heard him say, "Hey baby" I started crying. It was a bit odd in that I didn't feel so emotional I just started crying and couldn't stop for a minute or two. I know that doesn't make any sense but I'm going to leave it there just the same.
I just cried again but this time it was because I was thinking about the next time I get to see him and I'll probably cry then. It's going to be so wonderful, I can't wait. Only 96 more days....

...On second thought, I can wait. I can wait and I can pray and I can help to stop the flaming arrows of the evil one by praying scriptures and I can help to lift Logan up and give him the advantage in his struggle to grow in his relationship with God while in the midst of what can be and probably are very often overwhelming surroundings. TAKE THAT SATAN! HA!

and I take my stand.
