GAINSVILLE - TITLETOWN - LAND OF MY HEART


I am alive! I made it! One month=four weeks=28 day! And now I am here having the most amazing time of my life! I cannot express how happy I am to be here with this incredible family! I am so happy to be with Ashley again oh my goodness I realy don't even want to try to express how happy I am now! They are really going out of their way to treat me like a king! I'm sure they would do no less for anyother guest, but I feel extreemely blessed to be in the company of such hospitable, kind, funny, loving and nuturing people. I am so greatful to God for my happy life. Sometimes I just want to die and end life on this triumphal and gubilous note! Okay but living is way more exciting than dying because the future is more intreguing than anything in the world! Ashley makes me so happy and fullfilled and satisfied, and I do the same for her. Tonight she told me how I meet all of her needs and she just feels so happy. Tonight I revealed to her that God had told me that I should marry her. We sat on the swing out by the pool and talked excitedly for an hour or so. She stared me deep in my eyes. We did some soul talking for while. Today we went to Olino State Park which was this amazingly cool tropical place that was like Jurrassic park kind of . . . but with no dinosaurs. It was such beautiful country. Now I've seen what Florida is really like and it is incredible. The whole place is green; greener than you can imagine, it's like everything is getting watered 24 7 because of the humidity. I really like this place. Even the humidity just reminds me fondly of my mission. I have been here for 3 days. I don't have time to explain tonight how things have been, but I have promissed myself I will tommorow. Tonight we went to Lake Alice and looked for Aligators . . . which we did see. A small one, and kind of far off, and I didn't bring my glasses, but they promised a better one later. Um, Then we just walked up the hill a little bit, to where the bat house was and at dusk we wittnessed the mexican freetailed bats fly out of their house and into the night sky! What a sight, 50 billion of them, flying in the same pattern, almost as if they were smoke rising. Really cool realization of a childhood dream. We drove in Ashley's dad Larry's Mustang Rousche because it is black and sexy and looks like the batmobile.
Then we came home and Ashley and I did that thing where I read her the entry entitled "revelation on the hill" and it was fun. Then I read her some more entries and we cuddled for a long time. Oh life! Okay more tommorow!
