I'm a Catholic convert (from Protestantism) in love with Jesus and the Church He founded. I'm married to Forrest, an amazing man who has made quite a journey with me, following God, and we are blessed with six precious children.

Missing my Forrest

Well, I was going to get a headstart on tomorrow morning's cleaning, but I got the pattern pieces cut out that I wanted, so decided to sit down & do a little of this.
I don't like when Forrest has to be gone. At least he should be home early tomorrow afternoon.
Bread & Air Supply are good musical accompaniments to my mood. :-) *Sigh* what poetry in Bread's lines "I miss the girl...And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be / Closer to her than to me"

Snuggles

David gives such nice hugs. What a snugglebug.

__Which is Better With The Opposite Sex___
The Opposite Sex being Forrest, that is...
63. Hair color: Dark blonde/light brown
64. Hair length: Well, this varies from summer to winter--I like it short, but also when it's a couple inches long, and gets wavy. I even like it when it's almost to his shoulders.
65. Eye color: Sparkly blue.
66. Measurements: I don't know his measurements! except something like a 36" waist.
67. Cute or Sexy: ;-)
68. Lips or Eyes: I love both features.
69. Hugs or Kisses: I need both.
70. Short or Tall: 6'
71. Easygoing or serious: He can be both. But you know when he's serious because his voice changes quality. :-)
#72 was missing too!
73. Fatty or Skinny: LOL...the word "fatty" to describe a person is really funny to me! Well, I suppose that depends on the features we're talking about.
74. Sensitive or Loud: Why is it one or another?? Not that I can think of Forrest being loud all that much. He sings loudly. But he's sensitive--to others.
75. Hook-up or Relationship: what?
76. Sweet or Caring: Like, you're either sweet, or you're not and you're caring instead? Huh? both!
77. Trouble Maker or Hesitant One: More the former than the latter, I suppose. ;-)

___Do You Believe In___
89. God: Yes.
90. Miracles: Yes.
91. Love At First sight: I think it can happen.
92. Ghosts: Yeah, if you're talking about souls. Beyond that I'm closed to some ideas and a little bit open to a select few.

94. Soul Mates: I think so.

The last question was stupid so I got rid of it. And then the dragon hit the pavement. Long pants, long pants!
