So I'm here at Lindsay's place waiting to suprise her for the 2nd time this week. She's at work babysitting a child and I got off early, for once. She doesn't know I'm here, but with even one hint, she knows I'm here... in a way.
We love each other very much. I've already driven almost 3000 miles since I bought my car just to see her all the time up at Long Beach. I originally planned to drive every weekend, but I guess I just didn't measure how much this girl has come to mean to me.
Lindsay's father made it. She didn't have to go through with removing life support, because he's made it. He has no recollection of what he did, but he asked for forgiveness. His daughter has forgiven him and now comes the journey of getting right with God. What Lindsay's dad did to himself, he should've died. But in a miraculous nature, he made it. Someone upstairs said he's not done yet. He's got so much more.
Anyways, Lindsay and I plan to be in Las Vegas on November 1st for the Battalion Marine Corps Ball. We are excited... and I find it suprisingly difficult to keep from making things "official". But in keeping from being so blinded by love, I need to wait. There's so much she has to do with school, father, Christ and so much I have to do with finances, service, and family that it's simply too early for vows.
I'm still claimed though.
I'm going to rest now, I got a hike tomorrow morning and I have to be up at 4am to do that, so I need all the rest I can.
But I need all the Lindsay I can, so there's got to be a balance right?
Maybe.
Anyways, before I close tonight, I'll post some portraits we took of us for everyone.
Pray for the Battalion strength on the hike. Pray for Lindsay's dad. And thank you so much for stopping by.

I love you so much it hurts when you are not with me. An important part of me is missing when you gone. I will always be here for you, loving you, no matter how long (or quickly) it takes to make things "official" as you put it. My sweet perfect you!
I know exactly how you feel. Exactly.
:) you're so gone. lol...
i'm really glad to hear that lindsay's dad made it and that he's apologetic. i hope he gets completely better (physically, emotionally, spiritually....)
i hope i get to meet her before "official"-ness. lol....
