   Love me gently with your words, lover.
I didn’t like this Valentine’s Day. I never asked him to be mine. I didn’t even give him little Valentine’s candies. Now I regret it.

Love me gently with your words, lover. That is all I request of you.

Okay, I’ll stop being... poetic.

I have been so busy, and things have been sprouting and happening like daisies in the snow! Finally, I get to blog. ^_____^

Well, let’s see... where do I start? Last time I updated was weeks ago! Sorry guys... I mean, who reads this journal anyway? :P

Friday, I picked up my puppy, which I believe that I’ve mentioned before in previous posts. Well, I got him now! He’s adorable, to say the least! But aren’t all puppies adorable?

He’s almost fully black, expect he has white toes and a white chin. He looks like a sunbear!!!

I had intended to name him Pippin (after the hobbit in LOTR) but I didn’t think it fit him too well. After two days of hard thinking, I finally chose Goliath. He’s already growing so fast and I love him to pieces! Except... well... my sleep has been nothing short of CRAPPY for the last five days because he wakes me up nearly on the hour, every hour. I. Need. Sleep. Ack.

I know that I told all of you about Travis, a young man I met at the youth retreat; we’re beginning to become closer friends... and maybe more?? I’m not quite sure yet. This passed Friday I gave him a letter (nothing fancy, just a thank you letter) and he took it extremely well. I had presumed he would think it’s a love letter or something, which it wasn’t. I had never been so nervous in my ENTIRE life, though!! Strangely, after I handed it to him I wasn’t nervous or anxious anymore. Before hand, though, I almost seriously freaked out!! Hahahaha.

Here was our conversation, if you’re interested. If not, then... die:

Me: "I have something for you." I went to go get it, and I came back and gave it to him.
Him: "What is this?"
Me: "It's a letter. Read it when you get home, okay? And don't announce it to the world... it's between you and me."
Him: *looking kind of confused* "All right. I will, I'll read it when I get home."

He ended up asking me what it was about... I said, "Ohh, just things about the youth retreat and some other stuff."

He chuckled and said, "Are you in love with me?" I laughed and did a little dramatic thing with my hand on my forehead, "I am MADLY in love with thee."

He slipped it in his pocket and we continued talking.

Okay, so, I thought it was funny. And so did two others girls. :)

Anyways, Saturday came quickly and I was so exhausted that I just moped around all day and played with my pup.

Sunday morning was... a ride, to say the least. I woke up a bit late so I was trying to get ready so I could arrive at the church earlier. Travis got there, and we didn’t get to talk at all before service. After service, though, we had a nice, long chat for about a half an hour. First thing out of my mouth was, “So, the letter... ??” and he told me that it was “so sweet.” I kind of got teary when he said your welcome and hugged me. He didn’t think it was a big deal (that I had to thank him for being so friendly towards me up at the retreat) but I told him why it was. He also said that he may write me back later in the week. I hope he does. But, one thing he said to me I will never forget:

“You’re not an outcast. People should get to know you because they’ll love you. Like me.”

I totally melted. My knees got weak and I stared at him straight in the eyes and replied, finally and shakily, “Really?” He just smiled and nodded.

Everybody thinks we’d make a cute couple; yes, some boys at the church told me this. I dunno though... I mean... he’s good looking, he has a kind, mature personality and I think he likes me. But, I’d have to do some serious praying.

Well, those are the most recent things happening in my life. Please keep Travis and me in prayer as we seek a strong relationship (friendship) in Christ.

Oh, happy belated Valentine’s Day everyone. Although, I absolutely hate the holiday when you have no valentine. ^_~
