Oh my, only 3 days away, three sleeps...so this is what it is to be a kid again....can't wait for everyone to open the presents I got them....and to see my family. I hope they like them...

Well after the flue, an allergic reaction to citrus, a touch of bronchitas, exams, and a 31 hour work schedual I finially have a few hours to myself and no idea what to do....

Henry, if you read this, I have not forgotten redwood kids, I just have no life and alot of sick...hopefuly I;ll figure out what to do soon.

3 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS.....can't wait!

So, I'm engaged now and that gets me thinking about alot of things. Including the purpose and place of sex in marriage.

A few days ago I was joking around with friends and one of them decided that, "God's a great comedian, just look at this, male sexual peak, 17-25, female sexual peak, 45-55. What are you supposed to do with that?". Unsure how to answer at the time, but possatively sure there must be a reason...I smiled and laughed.

Thinking about it now, although its still funny, there definitly is a reason. I mean, if both partners had their peak at the same time...the rest of your life would be sort of dull....so maybe it's God's way of spreading it all out, making time for intimacy, and having women demand it, later on in the relationship. Or maybe God knew what those middle yeard would be like, what with raising children and chaising after careers. Still, it could even be mans modivation as his career ends and he reaches retirment...please your wife. Perhaps its even left pver from those prehistoric and middle ages, wandering waring days...when men where needed in battle during those years of their life and would not be home. So the female gets her peak when he's no longer primed to fight and can once again be with her. I dunno if I'm right on any of these...but I'm pretty sure there has to be a reason....I know my God and he doesn;t just do things like that for kicks.

God's pretty purposeful about this stuff. I was lisnting to a sermon once that said that couples should come together after prayer. Only the word they used that we translated to "together" means to have sex three, four, ormore times a week. At first I thought...of ok, cool...but then I sort of looked deeper, into...du du du nuh....biology! And learned some intresting stuff. Like the fact that men need to release every three days. hmmm...three time....three or more times a week....does that mean, that maybe...God created men like that, and gave that command to make sure man had his needs met? God said it was to prevent temptaion...so does that mean a satisfied man is less likley to be tempted, or have an affair, or go to internet porn,or magaziens, or one of the various other options? hmmm....I think so.

Another neat thing I read in a psychology magazine is that "satisfied" men work better, are more productive, more modivated, and have a better attention span. Sounds to me like a good marriage makes a good workplace...or at least...the benifits of marriage do. And sometimes I wonder if its not the smae for women with both sex and emotions. I mean, husbands and wives are supposed to give their bodies freely to their spouce, so that they themelves do not own their bodies, but their spouce does...is that just so we're satisfied, or so we work better, and are more focused on life and not ditracted by needs? Maybe.

Just some of the random rambling of my weird and curious mind.

Thats right....hard for me to beleive. I'm been with my amazing man for a whole year. Its awesome, I have enjoyed getting to know him so much more, and praying with him, growing with him....and just having fun with him....for a year! I feel very blessed to have him, and very blessed that we've made it through this year and all thats been going on with it. So yeah....an awesome year...lol. Brian I love you very much...and its been a blast, and will continue to be...yay for coupleness....woot woot, sizzle sizzle.

Im not entirly sure what we are doing to celebrate, so I guess that makes it a suprise. *gasp* I love suprises. I hope its fun, maybe even romantic...maybe....crosses fingers. So yeah....I'll just think about that and be happy, and excited, and stuff like that.

Oh yeah, read the book "fit to be tied." It's an awesome book, very helpful, and more than that it was really encouraging, at least for me...and Brian....(he's still reading, lots of work....he's a tropper). It really helped affirm for us that we have a healthy relationship, and we are heading in the right direction, and that we are fit to be tied....tee hee. So yeah...thats a cause to celebrate. I would definitly recommend that book to anyone considering marriage....at first makes you feel sort of like this

*gulp* what if it's wrong? What if I'm wrong? What is this book gonna tell me? That I have the wrong person? But then, if you read it...its helpful....doesn;t give misconceptions about marriage I don;t think, its honest....and helpful....knowledgeable? Can a book be knowledgeable, or just an author? Anyways, after abit ( the first few chapters) you begin to realize that the advice it has, and the questions it asks are very encouraging if you can honestly give the right answer and it sort of lays to rest any doubts you might have had....in an odd way, cuz I think its meant to create doubt in some cases...but the reverse happened. So yeah....read it...learn from it....be encouraged by it...and I'm out.

Take care everyone, God Bless

So everyone, Me and Brian and going to be at trobridge this Saterday, and then again sometime later again. If you want to come, just show up...it should be an awesome time. See you there!

Well, Brian and Me, and his family went to torbridge the other day and it was gorgeous. The water was warm, it was relaxing, it's beautiful...and I thought to myself....hmm....this could be a cool place to hang out.

So....for all friends and plunge ppl, I was thinking about setting up a day to hang out at Trobridge falls. If you want to go, could you give me a reply and tell me what time and day works for you...and I'll try to organize something? no pressure, just thought it would be cool to chill.
