Day 41

Early morning for a Com 101 class today.

Found out that I need to have a speech ready to present by next Tuesday. I have no idea what I'm going to talk on yet, though my friend Google will probably help me. Informative speeches aren't the hardest thing, but I would prefer a persuasive speech any day.

Left school and ran around town looking for materials I needed to put together a very special gift for someone. After I had found what I needed, I met Mike at Costco and we got lunch and talked. I then went home and stayed at my house while Shelby moved more belongings back in and the dogs fought.

Tonight at work was great. I've never worked a more busy shift. I ended up signing 5 people, touring a family, jumping a man's car due to a dead battery, and performed other avid tasks.

I'm sure the biggest highlight today, if not of my more recent months, was after work I took that "special gift" over to Melissa's house and asked if she'd be my girlfriend. A brief history on that: We've known each other for over 4 years. Her dad was my teacher, and through the grapevine of friends of friends of friends, we became myspace friends and began hanging out. Cornerstone University, Fall of 2007, a much interested me became drafted out of her mind, and she began a relationship with someone else. A year later I moved to California. I never thought I would see her again, and many many other people. God had different plans. Three years later, I got blessed. I'm excited for the future, I have my best friend now at my side to help me get through it. The gift I gave her was a home-made replica of the Beauty and the Beast glass rose. There was a tie in to all this from past memories, so the glass dome and flower were the streaks and smears into the painted canvas we have now of a relationship.

I am blessed
