where do i begin?

huh? i'm really not sure. so i'm going to dedicate this entry to landon meyers.

i have been dating landon for over three years now. it seems like it has been forever some days. thinking back i remember the first time we hung out and i knew he liked me. we went to see Mr. Deeds on July 7, 2002. (see. i told you i remembered) we went with our two great friends jake and mischon. i wish they were still around because now we are not in much contact with them at all. Mischon is at Anderson U and we still see her every now and then, but who knows where Jake has ended up. I miss those kids. anyway. landon and i spent more and more time together as the year progressed and by the end of september we were dating but not admitting it. hah. anyway. things since then have been wonderful.

landon and i have grown up together now. we were dating when we were 16 years old and juniors in high school. all we did was laugh. we used to stay after school just so we could spend time together...seeing as his parents limited that quite often. i can't tell you how many movies we watched, how many times we got together just to study, how many hockey games i went to, and how many stupid things we have done. but we never fail to keep making each other laugh. even now, we still do stupid things, but we laugh. it is so good to know it doesn't matter what i do, landon still loves me. and the same is true for him....i still love him.

recently he has decided to transfer to ball state just to be home. this spring he is going to focus more on school and not play hockey. i'm excited about him being home, but i'll miss watching him play. but while i say that, i know he will never fully give up hockey and i love that. hockey has been such a big part of our lives. i mean we squished the sweetheart's dance into the weekend of state tournament. we went to prom at the school across town because of hockey. there were countless drives back and forth to indy for practices and games. ever since landon quite playing for lawrence it has been different, but it's always fun to see him play. i'm amazed at how much he improves in his game every time i see him. so with that, i'm making sure i make one more game.

so yes. landon is coming home. no longer will we have to drive 3 hours just to see each other. looking back on where we started and where we are, i'm amazed. it is so good to see how we have grown up and gotten smarter, and it is so good to know God is with us through it all. i'm excited for the next step of this whole thing....wherever that is. over the past 3 years landon has become my best friend. he knows all there is to know, and has stuck around anyway...hah! and i feel the same way about him. it is amazing to know my best friend isn't going anywhere....he's sticking right with me! alright. i'm done now. but landon, i love you!
