The summer in between high school and college I dated more than any other summer of my life. I commented to a friend how I thought it was funny that all these guys who had never taken much interest in me suddenly wanted to go out all the time, especially when the relationships couldn’t go [...]
I like to watch the old couple across the street and imagine what life will be like for Noel and I 50 years down the road. Even though he has Alzheimers, they still seem happy and in love. She laughs about how he sometimes wears her clothes on accident and only a tinge of sadness [...]
About a week ago I helped put together a church activity for girls age 12-18. We had all of the leaders bring in wedding photos to put on display. The girls giggled at the album where all the edges were blurred to create a dreamy effect and tried to guess which leader’s husband used to [...]
Back in my single days I was a cold-hearted-man-hater.

Went on a date by ourselves Ate dinner at a nice restaurant without someone fighting for our attention Saw a play Got in and out of the car without hassling with a car seat Dressed up for something other than church or a wedding

I recently extended an invitation for someone join the Merket family. Unfortunately, she declined. Something about my line of tying my shoe while we were out on a hike Monday and then saying, “While I’m down here…” was “ridiculous.” It sure made the rest of the trip down to my family’s home a little…um…awkward.
