A quick trip through the last six months

Just a couple of quick pics from throughout the six months.. But let me tell you even though a picture is worth a thousand words... these still do not do our relationship justice. But enjoy...

6 MONTHS!

6 MONTHS... with my beautiful and amazing GF. These last six months have been the best six months ever! Emily has been such a blessing in my life and I have enjoyed every minute of it and I continue to! All the pictures and words could not convey what this relationship means to me! She is just awesome.. encouraging.. caring.. friendly (sometimes too friendly.. but we won't go there).... helpful.... not to mention how she fills so many roles.. sleeper... girlfriend.. daughter... friend.. Aunt (not technically, but we won't go there either)... grand daughter... and many more... I mean I could go on forever describing her.. and who she is... but you know what.. the short of it is that EMILY BETH STARKE is an ASTOUNDING CHRISTIAN WOMAN who is taken by yours truly.... and I am extremely HAPPY about that one.. so sorry guys she is TAKEN! :) 1/2 of a year and counting!!! P.S. I was going to post some pics.. but this stupid thing is not letting me.. OH well Pictures to follow.. we will leave it at that! :)

Allergies BLOW!

Allergies.. oh how I hate Allergies..
My nose runs all day
My eyes itch always
I can’t concentrate and yet I hate Allergies..

I took medicine today and it still didn’t work? Not fair.. I hate to go to work for what seemed like the longest two hours of my life and I am not sure how the rest of the day is going to go with have to exercise.. and sit through a symposium for a long time.. I am just hoping that something happens because if not I am going to go CRAZY… What is the point of allergies.. and don’t give me that.. oh your body is trying to compensate and fight off something.. cuz well I have a hard time believing that my body has to fight something off every minute of everyday for the last month… I mean there has to be sometimes when I get a break… Allergies STINK! And I would do almost anything to get rid of them.. It is raining and cold out.. my allegories are on and strong.. man this is going to be a great day? Argh.. Let’s get it over with! Or at least if my meds would kick in it would be a better day!

So honestly.. I am not having the best day cuz of the allergies.. but the only thing is that this day can only get better! 

Weekendz......

Weekend! Geesh.. do I enjoy weekends! I mean the brak is just so amazing.. and not to mention it gives me a great opportunity to see my GF! And well this weekend we started not having plans.. and then not having plans.. and then having plans.. but it all turned out really well! Got up early on Saturday.. like 9:30 or so and then we were off to Binder Park Zoo... seeing all the animals.. and then we did a little shopping and concluded the evening with dinner.. ice cream.. and a game that I was not very good at appearantly.. But you know God gives us gifts and talents in different areas and well mine was not in this game, but I just like to think that I was being a gentlemen and letting the ladies win! Right! :) This weekend was just a great reminder of what an amazing woman, friend and girlfriend Emily truly is! Getting to spend all of this quality time together only deepens the feelings! Just sitting there looking at her... relaxes me and makes everything else in the world melt away and all is left is her and I... She is just SOOO good to me! I mean recently I have become addictted to Chai Lattes and well my GF even bought me some mix and made me one.... So thoughtful!

Of Course now it is Monday once again... so now one must endure yet another week before the reward of the weekend... But you know I have recently become more confident in myself and my relationship even though sometimes it may not come across that way! But my gf has made it so easy on me and made it so easy on my part to trust.. understand... and just be.. knowing that she is going to be there.. and still like me more than anything.. so I have had to trust in that.. and know that God's got it! Well I hope to become more regular on doing this.. but we will have to wait and see! :) Classes.. stinking classes... :)

Sabbath!

Man it is great to have someone to care about you and for you? How is always there to help.. simpathize.. support.. and just hold your hand if nothing else! Today was one of those days where I had really bad allergies.. and well my GF.. just stayed there and but up with me.. and stuck with me through them.. she is GREAT! Went to church.. then played a little pool and pretty much got beat by my friend Herbert! Today we also had a going away party for Jamey.. cuz tomorrow is her last day at work! Sad.. but I know that she is ready to get home!

Man to think that today marks it being four years ago when 9-11 happened... crazy?! I am quite tired and just took an allergy pill.. and well I think that is only helping me feel tired?? Tomorrow is Monday already.. and I get to go back to school.. Geez.. the weekend went by to fast!

I am just ready for my Alavert to work and me to get some sleep you know what I am saying? Hmm.. well that sounds to good... so I am off to do it!

Girlfriend you are in my thoughts and prayers.. and especially right now!

More pics too! :)

Cabbage rolls and hernias

Cabbage rolls.. to be honest with you I never thougth that I would try such a thing.. but I did and actually liked it! Nothing like have a girlfriend that can cook some killer cabbage rolls.. you know what I am saying! I got to visit some with mammastarke.. and I mean that is ALWAYS a good time! Even though she killed me and em at some uno... We also enjoyed a super fast shopping spree that ended in only a pair of jeans for Emily.. but I must say they did look GOOD on her! :) Not to mention the talk of hernias.. well those conversations aren't so much fun.. but informative and interesting... but scary too.. and well have you ever had those things that you just want to put off and off and off.. kinda like procrastinating them because you don't want to have to deal with them? Well that is kinda how I feel about it! But definately something that will have to be looked at before the long trip to Costa Rica!

ALso go to observe some knitting action.. and I keep thinking that maybe sometime that my knitter gf will knit me a scarf or something.. that would be pretty cool.. huh?? Love in every stitch as they say!

Today also consisted of quite a bit of reading.. and well because I am a slow reader it takes me some time to read you know? But anyway I put in the time! Hernias and cabbage rolls.. even though completely unrelated.. but what a combination for a night... even if in the aftermath some cabbage gas occurs! I mean everyone farts! :) But you know that is the way God made us.. and well there is no need to try and mask and disguise that... and well I truly love the way that my girlfriend and I can be comfortable with one another and just enjoy each other so much! My girlfriend is amazing! I have really and truly felt that we are doing really well and I love it!

Well check out the pic of me and her!
