I been thinking about relationships a lot lately. And I've been discussing them with some girl friends too.
Thoughts: My ideal date. What kind of man I want to marry. What's more important than a boyfriend right now (and hopefully always will be). The moments I don't understand why or how. Praying for my future husband.
My ideal date? Something unusual... like catching fireflies at dusk. Come on boys, be creative! I don't want the norm.
What kind of man do I want to marry? A man who loves Jesus more than he could ever love me. And then you can take my song (A Small Town Southern Man - Alan Jackson) and there you go. I want him to be hard working, but gentle. Adventuresome and yet, cautious/careful. And he has to love my family. Please open doors. It's so impressive when you do.
What's more important than a boyfriend? My relationship with the Lord. I love my Father and He is the most important person. I desire to please Him and to walk in His light than to have a guy.
The moments I don't understand? The why. I don't understand God's timing, but I trust Him. I know that when it's His time for me to have a relationship, it will be the perfect time and I'm willing to wait. The how. I live in a small town. I know the guys that are at church. At this point there is only one I'd consider.... so how is a single, godly young man going to make it to my town? I have no idea. But I know God is more than able to bring one my way. And once again, I'm willing to wait.
Praying for my future husband. I don't do it often enough. It's hard sometimes. But I pray now, that the Lord would bless and protect him. Strengthen and guide him. If he doesn't know the Lord as his personal Lord and Savior, I pray the Lord will begin to work on his heart, mind and soul. And I pray Father Love will prepare me to be the woman he needs.

"I would be honored if you’d accept...."
Feel like your boyfriend is taking too long to "pop" the question? Well, I have a solution for all of you traditionalist who believe the man should do the proposing, but your man isn't doing anything.... you have one chance to do something about it.
Friday, February 29th, is Leap day. According to legend, some women in the 5th century were getting a bit frustrated with having to wait on their man to ask! So St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick. His solution was to allow women a chance every four years to ask their beaus to marry. Thus you may ask your man to marry you and make you the happiest woman in the world this Friday.
In 1288, supposedly, Scotland made the tradition a law and the men who refused to accept a proposal on Leap day got fined. Payment could be in the form of a kiss, a pair of gloves or a silk dress.
Goodness, if I'd been alive in 1288, I would have asked a man who hated me just so he could pay up! Of course, I wonder what would happen if he accepted.... Maybe that's not such a good idea after all! *grins*
Anyways, ladies, if you feel the need to abide by tradition, you may rest assured that you have (according to tradition!) one day that you will not be looked down upon for asking your man to marry (as long as you do it before midnight on Friday!).
I say you better get busy planning that proposal! You've only got three days! By the way, Chris Rice has some awesome love songs! I highly recommend them! Wow, I've got a lot of plugs for CR on my blogs today! Yay! Go Chris Rice!

Here is the dress -

Stupid Giddiness
AAhhh!!! Cupid's favorite time of year! Love is in the air and everyone is full of love, laughter and stupid giddiness.
I'm speaking of Valentines Day. It's today if you didn't know. I've always been a bit disgusted by the whole Valentines thing. Boys, if you have girl, you HAVE to buy her flowers, candy, chocolate and jewelry. And if you forget to do it, your girl won't speak to you for the next two weeks. Oh, did I mention dinner? Don't you dare forget that either! If you can't be here to take me out, I expect a phone call and roses sent to my place of work so all my co-workers can see what a GREAT guy you are.
Can I say lame? I don't like the idea of Valentines day. I don't like the expectations of it. I don't like the undue pressure guys have to be perfect on this day.
I will confess. This year I've actually wanted a guy to do something for me... but there isn't a guy to do it. So it was pointless wishing. And today I sat down to write something about Valentines day and it came out like this... pretty sarcastic and very disgusted with it all. Perhaps I wouldn't feel this way if I had a guy to be giddy over... who knows.
For those of you who lose yourself so much that you do something that has to do with this insane day, good for you! I hope your guy (or girl) likes it.

Super Bowl Tuesday
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is what I heard all night Sunday. All the guys cheering for the Giants. We had more guys than usual so that made it all the louder! It was pretty funny, actually.
Today is the day! To make a difference in America! You need to go vote. It's important.
If you can't decide who to vote for, you can always follow my example and vote for Ron Paul.
Super Tuesday. Super Bowl. Lots of supers this week. The Super Bowl. Did you watch it? Did you like who won?
I didn't watch it and I didn't care who won. I always cheer for whoever my Daddy is cheering for. I really don't even like football.
Goodness, you all should have come over. We had enough food to feed an army! Potato skins with creamed spinach, cheese dip and chips, hamburgers, sausage, chicken, and more. I can't really remember anything else. All I know is that I spent two days in the kitchen cleaning like crazy! I hate cleaning the kitchen.
The washer is fixed. Finally! I did not want to go the laundry mat again this week! I am so thankful to be able to wash clothes from our home. It's amazing! May I never take our washer and dryer for granted again!
