Date: 2003-09-04 07:19 pm (UTC)Yep, just about! :-) I liked you even more than I thought I would, though. (And I did think I'd like you! I'd read so much of your writing and heard about you from friends, and was anxious to meet you. It's just that you exceeded my expectations because you're so sweet and so much FUN! Hope we can get together again someday...)

Date: 2003-09-04 08:01 pm (UTC)1. I believe you mentioned it on AVW or something. You were the first LJ user I met!
2. Because you seem so much like me, yet so unique, and I just adore your writing! You're one of the *famous* people on my little list, and I was thrilled to have the oppertunity to know you better.
3. As I said above, I want to know you better. ;-) Also, you are very sweet and down to earth, for being so famous.
4. Your random ramblings. :-) I LOVE them!
5. I don't think there is such a thing.
6. ok...what is your favorite color?
7. Sadly, no, but maybe someday. :hugs:
no subject
Date: 2003-09-04 08:27 pm (UTC)Blue! Without a question...Take one look inside my closet and you'll agree. ;-) However, I also love green, khaki, and pale yellow.
I'm famous, huh? LOL, I don't think so. ;-)
Thanks for your sweet comments! I hope we can meet in person someday, too.
Hugs,

Date: 2003-09-04 08:06 pm (UTC)2. Because you were already a very dear snail mail friend, and I love you! *hug*
3. Your own dear self, of course! :-)
4. Your entries, and your lovely icons, too, I might add!
5. The entries where you're in the blues. :|
6. What's the J. A. character that you can't stand the most?
7. No--*sobs*--but I hope to one day!!! :-)

Date: 2003-09-04 08:30 pm (UTC)Well, I just can't stand that Mr. Knightley fellow. (Kidding, kidding!) Hee hee. Let me see. I think Henry Crawford wins the prize. He absolutely drives me nuts because he's so conniving and full of ulterior motives. Ugh. If I start to marry someone like that, I'll depend on you to stop me, okay??? ;-)
I really, really hope we can meet in person someday too!

Date: 2003-09-04 08:25 pm (UTC)I think Maggie told me you were getting a LJ.
2. Why did you originally decide to friend me?
because I wanted to read your entries :)
3. What keeps you?
I love reading your entries, keeping up with you, and hearing about your life.
4. What's your favorite part of my journal?
You!
5. What's your least favorite part of my journal?
I don't have one. More posting would always be welcome, though :)
6. Ask me a question.
I know your busy with the start of school, but have you found any time for "fun reading"? If so, what book are you reading?
7. Have you ever met me in person?
Yes, multiple times :D
no subject
Date: 2003-09-05 08:30 pm (UTC)Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do much since school began. I still haven't finished Josephine Tey's The Franchise Affair (British mystery), but am hoping to before I forget what the first 3/4 was about. LOL! Otherwise, I've been slowly working my way through With Christ in the School of Prayer by Andrew Murray, which is excellent. It's been just what I've needed lately, and for the first time I'm enjoying the use of a pen for underlining. I usually hate marking in books, but somehow in non-fiction it's fun and helps me to hold on to the extra pertinent sections.

Date: 2003-09-04 08:26 pm (UTC)After Bethany gave me a code to start a journal with she also told me that you were one of the people who had LJ. So I went through her list of friends combing the names for you. :)
2. Why did you originally decide to friend me?
You're wonderful. I wanted to keep in touch via the 'net as well as snail mail.
3. What keeps you?
you.
4. What's your favorite part of my journal?
Gorgeous icons. Friendly posts.
5. What's your least favorite part of my journal?
You don't post enough.
6. Ask me a question. Be as random as you want.
How was school today?
7. Have you ever met me in person?
Unfortunately not. We need to get someone married off soon so we can meet.
no subject
Date: 2003-09-05 08:35 pm (UTC)Well, you asked this yesterday but you get to hear about today. ;-) It actually went well. I go through so many emotions in a day at school. No, it's not like I walk around crying and laughing intermittently. LOL! It just seems like there are always moments of stress, moments of relief, moments of exultation, moments of hilarity, etc. Every day! It is mentally draining, but for the most part very worth it. Well, worth it because I know where it's where God has me right now...Otherwise it wouldn't be. :-)
Unfortunately not. We need to get someone married off soon so we can meet.
Hopefully not you! And besides, I think we can scheme to get together sans a wedding. We can do without smoo for a while yet, don't you agree? ;-)

That sometimes you go for long period's of not posting! ::winks::
6. Ask me a question. Be as random as you want.
What denomination/church are you apart of?
7. Have you ever met me in person?
::dabs a handkerchief to eyes:: Nope! =)

Date: 2003-09-05 08:40 pm (UTC)My family and I homechurch with a couple of other families in the area. Our church has diminished to a very small number over the past couple of years, however, which is discouraging. :-( We've been visiting a non-denominational church (Calvary Chapel) when the homechurch doesn't meet (due to someone being out of town, etc.). Anyway, as for beliefs -- non-denominational and Bible believing would be good descriptions, I think. :-)
Thanks for your sweet comments, Cheri!

Date: 2003-09-05 08:46 pm (UTC)Ooh, I've got to keep my voice to a whisper here in case Manda is listening in. ;-) Yes, I'd love to get married someday. Lord willing, of course...But I really would, if that's what He has for me. I struggle with dying to self in this area, but I know that either way, God will provide and I will be 100% happy. Lately my prayer has simply been for His perfect will -- nothing less. So, anyway, I would like to marry and have a family, but only if it's the right thing at the right time...His time. If not, I'll stay a spinster and be glad of it. ;-)

Date: 2003-09-05 10:57 am (UTC)I was on LJ before you were, and was so excited when I found out you'd joined, too...I expect you sent me the link or something.
2. Why did you originally decide to friend me?
Because you're a friend and I wanted to keep up with your daily life, of course. :-D
3. What keeps you?
I've never even considered dropping you from my friends list. :-)
4. What's your favorite part of my journal?
Your thoughtful posts on God's faithfulness are always so encouraging -- and it's great to hear how things are going for you from day to day.
5. What's your least favorite part of my journal?
I honestly can't think of anything!
6. Ask me a question. Be as random as you want.
What's your favorite memory of our time in OR?
7. Have you ever met me in person?
YES -- two times this year!! I still can't believe the Lord worked that all out, after our repeated attempts to get together in previous years. PTL! :-D
no subject
Date: 2003-09-05 08:51 pm (UTC)Ahh, how can I possibly pick a favorite?! There are too many...the wedding itself, singing around the campfire at the coast, listening to Julie's "sermons" ;-), preparing the reception food, practicing our song for the recessional...And that's only scratching the surface. I think my favorite facet of all the memories is simply being together...Knowing you were all right there whenever I needed to talk or just a hug or some fellowship. That, to me, was the most special aspect of all!
Miss you,
