Today marks the anniversary of the day that I took one of the bigger risks in my young life. A year ago, I expressed my desire to build a special relationship with Mandy. Those of you who know me well are aware of the monstrosity of that step. Much to my delight, she accepted the challenge. The Lord has indeed blessed me in the past year with a friendship that has taught me much about true, self-sacrificial love. He's also given me a fiancee along the way and the anticipation of a marriage in July. I can't wait to see what He's got in store for us this year.
We had breakfast together this morning and then went downtown to Rocks and Ropes for some climbing fun. I realized again how quickly one can lose any muscle strength. I haven't been climbing in almost 5 months and it showed. The little kids celebrating birthdays were out-climbing me, and I routinely finished 5.10 routes! Must get back into it. Must!
We went to the Melting Pot for dinner tonight. If you're looking for a really singular dining experience, go there. I never realized fondue could be that cool and that good. We gorged ourselves on such culinary delights as filet mignon and tiger shrimp. It was awesome! Oh...another interesting thing. It was the first two and a half hour meal I've ever had that seemed like 45 minutes. We had a great time. Many thanks go to Mandy's play cast for the gift card! It was much appreciated.
