Well now, It's finally happened. RR and I are now officially dating. Most of my family knows but as far as I know none of my friends here in town know. Well, they haven't asked :)

What does it mean to have a girlfriend and be in a committed relationship? Honestly, I don't know. We've been talking almost every day for nearly 6 months. Now that she's within arms length we haven't been very far apart for very long. I think the only times I could've spent with her but didn't were my lunch breaks at work. Part of the reason I didn't invite her to all of them is that I didn't want to have to give directions. I suppose some space is good though. Now she's on the road, headed for Roanoke for the week. I think I'll like being back to pure conversation without the distraction of being together. Don't get me wrong, being together is muy bueno and ultimately critical for a solid relationship. There's something special about our phone time that is perhaps hampered by the newness of this all when she's here.

ahh i'm falling asleep. i should go.

Lord, guide her safely to her destination, help us to keep You as the highest point in our lives and never plpace each other in Your place.
