I haven't typed a journal entry here in ages. Like... six months. So I suppose I will give you all an update on my life. 11th grade ended, the summer began, I shipped out to military camp for two weeks, came back for a week, then went to girl scout camp, then came back, got my wisdom teeth out, went to church camp, which was great, then had a week to myself, helped at school registration, and then school started. We had about two weeks or less to plan the JROTC ice cream social, and the freshman orientation, which we pulled off, but barely. We were planning during all our meals, we didn't really get to know the underclassmen much. Oh wells, I've gotten to know mine very well since then.
From there, the drill teams started, school got underway, and homecoming started approaching. I was hanging out with my friends alot, we went to football games, dressed in crazy spirit wear, painted our faces blue, all that goodness. I went to youth group, one voice, all sorts of church activities... And then I started talking to one of my friends more and more online. He was getting over a break-up, and I liked to help people, so that's where that started. He pretty much shared my opinions and views on life, and I was amazed that there was someone who believed like I did. He was really nice, and eventually, he asked me to homecoming.
We've been dating for almost three months now. : ) He's amazing. My life after homecoming has been him, ROTC, and schoolwork. It's just going to get worse next semester, the proportions of him and ROTC are going to switch... 90% of time is ROTC 10% is boy... : ( School is fit in wherever I can fit it, which won't be good, I need to keep my grades up-- I've been accepted to WSU! And they've offered me a pretty hefty scholarship, grades are essential to epicness.
I've kind of drifted from one group of friends to my ROTC friends, but kind of am on the fringe of that group, mainly I just hang out with my boy, which is probably not the best thing in the world. However, it's hard to resist him... He's gorgeous, funny, treats me better than anyone I've ever liked, tells me all the time that he's so incredibly lucky to have me and that I'm amazing... But I think it's him. He's a genuinely good person, and that's why I've been upset lately... We've hit a slightly rough patch, and I really didn't want to hurt him, so we've been trying to figure out the problem and fix it.
We ascertained that it's because we've gotten off-track... God isn't the center of our relationship. But when I told him what that was, he said, completely serious. "That changes. NOW." and I was SO happy. And then we went outside and prayed together, which helped. Now I feel peaceful... God has our issues. They aren't ours to worry about anymore. We just follow Him and He'll make sure we're taken care of. But we have to do our part-- being better Christians.
No more flirting with the line between okay and dangerous, like we did over Christmas Break. Things got a little... off-track there, more so than anything else. It didn't FEEL like we were breaking the rules, but I know that I shouldn't have done that. I really shouldn't have. However, it happened. Now we have to back track and concentrate on our relationship with God.
Our New Years Resolution is not to make out with each other. haha.
