Disregard

Luke's last post. He's crazy and doesn't know what he's talking about...seriously, I think he might be insane. Someone help me! Ah! jk. But seriously, disregard it entirely. We don't watch HGTV nor do we even live together. I don't know what he's talking about.

House...

I have been dreaming of one day owning a house. We (Brittany and I) watch the Home and Garden channel a lot and get bothered by all the people who seem to think that the colors on the walls are a good reason to not buy a house, or a good reason to buy one. There's a lot of shows about staging, which seems odd. There can't really be that many people willing to pay lots of money to get someone else to have all the fun of designing and decorating their house.

It's also difficult to dream about being able to change things in your own house and then not even having the freedom to fix things that need fixing. Our bathroom floors are kind of gross. They seem to get that way normally, but this is a little excessive. There is more to it than dirt. They are stained, torn and warped... a lot. Probably other stuff too. You'd have to ask Brittany to get a full list.

Also I am a poor communicator. I keep blaming it on my wife and it's not fair. That is all.

My Wife: The Sweetest Thing


It's been a while since I've written a blog, and it's about time!

I dedicate this blog henceforth and forever to my wife. She is the best and her blogs inspire me to also contribute to the vast nothingness that is internet publishing. Hers is the brightest light guiding me in a sea of largely unimportant (and often inaccurate) facts, opinions and innuendo. Happily for me I understand her innuendo.

This semester has been unique. I have been (for the most part) very responsible about doing my homework and reading my assignments. Most of the time I only really do the first 10 or so reading assignments and only start my writing assignments 12 hours or less before they are due (often 12 or so hours after). This semester I have done nearly every scriptural reading assignment and about 90% of my writing was done more than 12 hours before it was due! This has had very little effect (I think) on how much I actually learned, but it has been more relaxing and less taxing on my mind. It's all because my wife inspires me. She's not perfect, but scholastically compared to me she is much much closer. She is also more creative than me, which is saying a lot since I am so creative. Ok, maybe it's only saying a little since I am at least a little creative. Either way I admire her writing a lot.

I love her.

She has had a difficult semester and I am so proud of her. She has worked hard and done (I think) admirably under the pressure of working full time as well as being a full time student. Lucky for me she has somehow also found time to be with me and make me feel like the luckiest man alive (which is only natural; since I am) to be her husband. She really is the sweetest thing. Brittany, you're the best and I think you're also the only one who will actually read this.

Here's to you! Cheers!
