so we do not lose heart. though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. for this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.

my best friend is the best best friend in the whole wide world.

he is also romantic and very good at making me feel loved. and he's a good dancer too. and good looking.

and yesterday was the greatest valentines day i ever did have. he had a very nice fancy table set--with flower petals and candles and table cloths and sparkling cider!!! and he made me dinner--tortellinis and garlic bread with an appetizer of candy--and he also put together a very cheesy slideshow of all of our pictures which may or may not gave me tears in my eyes (i dont even care, it was valentines day!!!!!!!).  and then we danced (it was even on the agenda!!!!!!) and layed on the floor. and we also sang some songs and took some pictures (which are to come!) and it was just the greatest romantical night ever!

they dont come sweeter than this guy.
