I don't have a girlfriend anymore...

... i now have a fiance.    My trip to maryland was such a blast, and it almost hurts t come back home.  MJ and i went to washington DC, we went to annapolis, and baltimore, and we just hung out at her house, and her grandparents house, and that is about it.  I saw Nacho Libre with her; we both agreed that the fat little boy was awesome.  I had the opportunity to ask her dad for her hand in marriage and he told me that "we would want nobody but you for our daughter".  Can you believe that?  I am wanted, and i feel so loved by everybody there.  Everybody in her family was very excited, especially grandma and grandpa.  So you are probably wondering how i did it, if not, then skip to the end.  I took her on a walk and there they have summer thunderstorms, so it started raining and i got down on one knee, almost put the ring on her wrong hand, got a fatty kiss, and we walked back home.  I would love to hear about how this last week has been treating you all, God Bless you, and i will be praying for you all as well.

Love your Brother

I am good

Life is good.  I am so blessed.  I have friends who would do anything for me, i have a girlfriend who is understanding and blessing beyond anything i could ever imagine, i am blessed because i went and picked up Jesse Purves from Fresno airport today (he just got back from Iraq), i am blessed because no matter how much i screw up God still cradles me in his arms.  Work and school are tearing me apart though, and that is tough.  I bring that on myself, but in the end it needs to get done.  I guess their was a monster crash near my house when i was in Fresno, possible fatality.  Pray for the effected families, and pray that if somebody did die that their souls belonged to God.  I want to get together with you all, but i am leaving on thursday for something pretty intense.  I am flying to Maryland to ask for MJ's father for his blessing on me asking her to marry me.  WHOA!  DID YOU HEAR THAT!?!?!  am i growing up, or did i just lose my mind?  ha ha, God is good and has placed her in my life for a reason.  Some people say "i can imagine myself with this person for life"  I say "i can't imagine my life without MJ".  Pray that my words flow purely from the heart and her father understands where i am coming from.

i love you all
