I realize that i am slacking in the WRITE A-BLOG-A-DAY thing but i have been rather busy. Yesterday, after church, I spent the whole day with my Girlfriend, its not a normal relationship you see because well we have one simple rule "NO kissing anywhere except on the cheek", what do you guys think of this rule just out of curiosity? I really like this girl and my reason behind the rule is this, I want to be an "exception" to everyone around us, we want high school relationship where making out is not the glue that holds us together.
Today was rather uneventful, I cant reveal much just in case the person I'm surprising tomorrow happens to read this but, I took a six hour trip to an undisclosed location to see some family and surprise a certain someone I haven't seen since i was about 10 ha ha it should be fun. The Gum wall Thursday should be lots of fun.
I'm sitting here typing and thinking about all the good restaurants i use to love to go to when i lived in this place, isn't it weird how we always wish we could come back to where we grew up but we know deep down it will never be the same? Which is a good thing i guess, if we never move on we can never GROW UP.
To tell you the truth i have no Yager thEory on this i simply don't know why we long for the things we can not have. So this is my answer and its a really rather simple one.
God made us that way.

Hi Joey! I'm a friend of your mom's.
Your rule about your high school relationship - absolutely wonderful. What maturity that shows on your part. Truly a great decision, I'm so proud of you. I wish I could go back and make the same rule for myself, and I hope my daughters will feel the same way. It's a decision you won't regret. My sister in law and her husband did nothing but hold hands before their wedding (and neither had ever dated anyone else), and it added such a depth to their relationship that most of the world will never grasp. So yeah, good for you.
When I was 12, my family moved away from California, my childhood home. All through my teen years I swore I was going back, I loved it so much there. It was all I dreamed of and talked of. And then, at age 18, I went back for a visit, and I saw reality - it wasn't the way I'd remembered it. It wasn't where I wanted to be. I let go of that dream. We tend to remember things with a silver lining, not remembering the bad so much as the good in many cases, I think.
Wanting what we don't have can lead to two things - ambition, or discontent. Work hard for the things you want to have, but be happy with what you do have. Discontent is an ugly monster for a Warrior to have to fight.
I love reading your blogs. You're an outstanding young man, and you give me hope for our future generations. Keep up all your good work!
Good rule! My boyfriend and I also have the same rule. Having been in a relationship before where the making out WAS the glue... I'm really loving this. Truly, teenagers today are missing so much when they build relationships out of the physical. Like Julie said.. it's like there's so much depth to the relationship. Good for you! :)
