A Pleasant Surprise

Despite the horrible weather yesterday, it ended better than I could have ever imagined. It started with a good day in class (I love German!). Then I got to go to one of the last Bible Studies at the Ebles' house. It's a bittersweet thing. I knew it would end sometime, I just wish it wasn't now. I have grown so much in my faith because of that group. I adore everyone in it and hope something can be figured out so we can continue it somewhere else. Raquel got out of school early and was able to make it to Bible Study. I was really glad she could because I know how much she enjoys it. We discussed Jephthah and how he offered his daughter as a burnt offering to God (Judges 11) and how controversial that story is. I love discussions like that because it really gets me thinking about various reasons and options why something like that happened.

But that's not the end to this story folks. After Bible Study, I rode home with Raquel and we had a good talk about the future and our views of marriage. Needless to say, we're pretty much on the same page there. Anyways, we got back to my house and watched this week's episodes of Monster. After that though, we just sat on my couch and held each other. I was so happy in that moment that I never wanted it to end. She, in all her love for me, surprised me even more and kissed me. It was so magical. My heart stopped beating for a moment and I could not breathe at all. She took my kissing virginity and I could not be happier that it was her. It especially made me happy when she said I was "a damn good kisser" considering I have never kissed a girl like that before and have never even practiced like some people do.

Listen to me, rambling on like a giddy school girl. I love Raquel Jessica Romine and plan on spending the rest of my life with her. I could not ask for a more perfect or beautiful woman. So even though the weather was crap, it became the best day of my life so far and I wouldn't give it up for anything.
