Our 2nd Date

It took six weeks but Natalie and I (finally) had our second date last night. Dating is everything I thought it would be, so far. We hold hands, give hugs and shoulder rubs and it is so much fun just encouraging her. Last night she wanted to play Super Mario Bros. 3 (yes, the orginal Nintendo game - my brother still has the system and the game). I played with her for about 3 levels, then died. From there on I was just there to encourage her and boy did I have fun doing that. Unfortunately, after traveling all day, she was pretty worn out by 10 and she didn't finish the game but for a second date (and the first time seeing each other after six weeks) I would say we both went to bed with a smile on our face.

God help me never forget the puppy love stage. She deserves it.

She Said Yes!!!!!!!!

Wow!

I..am..the..luckiest..guy..on..the..planet.

No, seriously, I am.

How else can you explain why Natalie would want to be my girlfriend? I've spent the last year praying to win her heart and suddenly it happens and you are in shock. I've never been happier in my life and to think, it took God having to put me through cancer recovery for this to finally happen.

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for this. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make sure that we both made the changes in our lives that we needed to make and for those of you who will be volunteered to help us make the changes that we will need to make sure we succeed I thank you in advance.

God's grace has a shape, form and heart and I will get to experience it often once Natalie moves back.

I am moved to tears. I still can't believe it myself!

Once I get well I promise I will post a picture.
