"Love is a many splendored thing (yes), it lifts us up where we belong(correct, it can), All we need is love(wrongo)." Hold the phone. that is wrong. Love in itself is not all we need. We need Jesus and his love. Otherwise we would die forever.

But that is not the point of this blog. Love is overused. It is a sacred word that so many people throw around like sliced bread. (I don't know how you throw around sliced bread, but you get my drift). But people, that gushy feeling in your stomach, that makes you want to kiss your significant other. That, my friends, is not love. That is lust. Or infatuation. Love is not just a feeling. It is an action. How you treat someone. Granted. The way you treat them and how they treat you will bring up feelings of tenderness and affection. But that is not all that love is. I am just tired of hearing people say they are in love after dating for 2 months. Is that a long enough time? Do you really want to go around saying you love people that you are not married to (in that passionate romantic way)? Will that not take away from your marriage? Kind of like why I am against having sex before marriage. That and that whole sex being God-designed for marriage thing. Anyways, I know I need to change my attitude, because my friends are not going to stop saying they love each other. (I'm okay with saying you love your friends in a friendship way, it is the marriage and relationship one that I think is overused). That is pretty much all I wanted to say, let's put the sacredness back into love. If you have any opinions on the matter, let me know!

So Emily send me this photo of a cute little puppy.



I think it is adorable, Matt (West, the fiance, not the boyfriend) thinks it is ugly. What do you think?

car wrecker

That is my Dad's new nickname for me. Great.

If only my stupid apartment complex gave us three spots instead of two. if only the uncovered parking spots were more than 2 feet wide. If only I hadn't gotten a littl too close to that pole. if only I remembered that even once you clear the sideview mirror, you still have a bumper to get past the pole.

Oh well. I finally told my Dad about the dent. (Dad, it's been 2 weeks, I was a little wary of letting you know). And he is just making jokes about it now. Probably because he is giving me the pink slip on monday and knows I have to pay to fix it myself. Ah well.

At least I have a boyfriend with connections to a dealership (um 100 bucks to fix the dent) who also happens to paint cars for a living. How sweet life is.

And I am going to repaint the whole truck (it will set me back about 200 dollars) and then sell it. It is a 2000, so I can get about 6 thousand for it. Anyone looking for a wonderful Dodge Dakota? I want a sporty car that gets good gas mileage (is that possible), that I can get for under 6, so I do not have to pay off any loans!
