This is a picture that my girlfriend took when we were on the Pier in St. Joseph. Pretty neeat huh? She is always taking sweet pictures.
Seasons... come and seasons go.... but isn't there soo much more to that. I mean God created this and all the seasons... It is amazing how he made water freeze at 32 degrees.. and he made the seasons dependant on the rotation of the earth which either makes it warmer or cooler.. That is really neat and all that to say.. that God is WONDERFUL.. and gives us such amazing sights daily.
So enjoy them and thank him for them..

Up and onward
Hey! So here is a random pic of me running up the beach stairs near my house on a snowy November day! Nothing like a chilly stroll on the beach to remember just how great GOD is! :) I would run forever if I know that every step I was taking was getting me closer to you (GOD)! God is good... all the time!
LEAP
Hmmm.. So things are starting to come down to the wire.. but you know what you just got to keep keeping on… and just jump first and fear later… on the contrary of what our society has coaxed us into believing, that we should fear first and jump later… But you know what I LEAP and embrace what is to come… Right now I have many things that I have to deal with because I LEAPT first and now am working out all of the things that go with that LEAP.. Those things included Costa Rica stuff… Dental stuff.. School stuff.. money stuff.. Graduation stuff and plenty of other stuff… But I am trusting strong in the Jesus Christ and know that what he has for me will work out.
Life is a crazy thing…. It never slows down… and time is always on the run… I have already put enough time in college to graduate with a four year degree and well it has flown by… But the crazy part about this is that is my whole life going to fly by? Am I going to wake up one day and say, “I still have so much I want to do and really no time to do it?” Do not hear me wrong because I am doing some things that I love… and would not change anything in my life…. But I have always had this preconceived idea that once out of college things would “slow down” a little bit?? And well this may or may not be true but I guess I will have to wait and disprove or prove this theory in my own life. But nonetheless the future excites me… so remember me in your prayers… And keep reading because I am going to try and post more often.. Do not what to disappoint anyone!

On the beach..
This is Emily and I on the beach close to our home.. It was a snowy day after Thanksgiving... She likes her pictures and I like them too... Today (Monday the 28th) was our eight month anniversary.... It has been a great 8 months.. and well it is getting late.. and I know that I haven't blogged in awhile so I wanted to blog at least a little to break the streak and I hope to have more follow shortly... :)

The Man You Love
by Il Divo
Si me ves hallarás en mis ojos el amor
eres tú la mitad que a mi vida completó
Lo que soy te daré sin miedo a algun error
creo en ti y dejaré en tus manos mi ilusión.
Quiero estar dentro de tu corazón,
Poder lograr que me ames como yo.
I only wanna be the man
to give you everything I can
every day and every night
love you for all my life.
I don't wanna change the world
as long as you're my girl it's more than enough,
just to be the man you love.
Quiero ser el lugar donde puedas refugiar
el temor y calmar en mis brazos tu ansiedad
Desde hoy voy a ser todo para ti
Hasta ayer te soñé y ahora estás aquí
Quiero oir tus secretos, lo que sueñes descubrir,
quiero amarte así.
I only wanna be the man
to give you everything I canevery day and every night
love you for all my life.
I don't wanna change the world
as long as you're my girl it's more than enough,
just to be the man you love.
I only wanna be the man

The Day Before You
Well my girlfriend recently informed me that she had dedicated a song to me.. and I have to be honest I was new to the idea of dedicating a song to me ... well luckily enough the song she did dedicate to me was a good one... :) and well I thought that I would share "my song" with everyone else out there.. but I guess it doesn't mean as much to you.. but I guess you have to know Emily Beth Starke and Jamos Edwin Mitchell and the relationship that they share! Enjoy!
The Day Before You
by Matthew West
I had all but given up on finding the one
that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready to settle for less than love
and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
But that was on the day before you
that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready to settle for less than love
and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
But that was on the day before you
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
and find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back
to the day before you
In your eyes I see forever
and it makes me wish that my life never knew
the day before you
Oh, but heaven knows those years without you
were shaping my heart for the day that I found you
And if you're the reason for all I've been through
then I'm thankful for the day before you
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
and find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back
to the day before you
It was the last day that I ever lived alone
And I'm never going back
No, I'm never going back
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
and find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
I will never have to go back to
the day before you
the day before you
I'm never going back
I'm never going back
to the day before you
Pick-me-up
Have you ever been doing something and everything was going fine.. I guess in my case.. more specifically you were crusing right along reading and then that is when it HITS you.. and hits you HARD.. the urge to simply rest your head down for a moment and shut those eyes only for a second as to reflect on what you had been reading... and turning it into an opportunity to test the process of osmosis.... Your "moment" turns into minutes.. and then you wake up to your confusion as to how long you had been to sleep and how you fell asleep in the first place. But what puzzles me is what causes you to wake up? I mean you fall asleep.. but you always wake up as if an alarm is going off... but what causes that stimulation to be awaken?? It is as if you knew you were only able to take a few minute rest.. or maybe it is God telling you.. to get up and do some more work... I don't pretend to know why exactly I woke up.. but I did and while in that sleepy daze in which you have no comprehension as to time, where you are and how your hair got messed up I concluded that I needed a "pick-me-up!"
You know what a pick-me-up is?? Usually it is a time in which you are tired late at night... need a break or just something to that affect and you need something usually that contains lots of sugar and caffeine to if possible.. :) The sad part about me was the fact that I needed this pick-me-up by eight o'clock at night.. and that is not good if you know that you have more homework to do and not to mention that you are used to being up until the early morning hours... or at least the late hours of the night! :) Well anyway.. my pick-me-up consisted of plenty of sugar, but unfortunately no caffeine... and was strawberry flavored and came in the form of a smoothie.. and it was quite good... it cooled the throat in passing as it slithered down and hit the stomach with a satisfying collision. But none-the-less I think that pick-me-ups usually only have short-term effects.. and although the sugar rush was desirable.. I think that it is going to end very shortly which will lead to either a crash involving a pillow, sheets and darkness or another pick-me-up... It is a vicious cycle I know.. but such is life... so enjoy it and make the most of it.. and well include God in it... and let him be your "pick-me-up!"

Here is a fun fall picture! We were just messing around having some fun in the park on a beautiful Fall afternoon.. of course after her body shop party so our feet were nice and soft and such.. But it was a lot of fun.. and look at those smiles.. I mean we were having fun.. enjoying one another..
Also while we were in the park we went out on a trail and were going to take more pictures.. but we ended up not taking anymore than we had already taken... But while we were on a trail we were just kind of wandering and ended up going down this one trail and then I heard something and saw these deer and turned to tell Emily to look and to be quiet.. and we proceeded to watch a doe and a buck wander on the other side of this little stream river kind of thing.. it was a lot of fun.. and the deer were sooo close to us.. but they never gave us a clear view to take a pic.. so that was sad.. but none the less fun!
Then on the way back my "male ego" took over.. and was kinda leading us out of the woods.. but not really leading cuz I really didn't know where I was going.. but I wasn't going to let Emily know that.. lol... :) But I think she figured it out pretty quickly! Not to mention I seem to have these alterative motives.. that added to the situation that weren't even really that important.. well they were important to me, but not in the overall scheme of things.. but oh well you learn as you go right... But she understands.. or trys to put up with me.. and I think she LIKES me A LOT beside all of my short cummings! :)
Jamamos and EM
So it has now been seven months and counting! So here is a picture that was taken a little while ago but a pic of me and EM none the less…
This weekend that just passed was good as usual… I mean Friday consisted of going out and celebrating our seven month anniversary by hitting up Fazoli’s and then to the pet store so Em could look at the animals that she wants! Then Saturday was fun Emily through this Body Shop Party and had like twenty people in her apartment.. well let me specify… she had like nineteen woman in her apartment and then there was me.. I was a little out numbered.. and well when you are that outnumbered by another gender it is kind of intimidating… but I got over it and did what I had to do and did what I wanted to do and had a blast playing with all of the kids… Gunner.. and Ella… Lane.. all soo much fun.. children are great when you start with them.. they keep going.. Then we hit up a movie Flightplan which was not the typical movie for EM.. but it was good and a lot of fun… then we went to a Halloween party and it was interesting and kinda got me out of my comfort zone quickly by making me do charades.. but overall pretty fun.. and then Sunday.. Emily had a baby shower for Caitlin one of her best friends.. who is quite pregnant but really cute.. so Em had fun.. and then I got something in my eye… and let me tell you.. it was like a crisis.. ask Em she will tell you.. I mean this thing in my eye was stubborn.. but.. EMILY is great and she is so caring.. and always having ideas… being positive.. and comforting.. gotta like that.. Started a movie Bewitched.. but never got to finish it.. that is too bad.. but I guess…. It is okay.. well I know it is okay cuz I had a good reason in not finishing it! And that was my weekend!
