It was nice to run out to the mail today. I usually don't check the mail, and wait for Jenny (my wife) to get it when she gets home, but i've been hoping to find out that i was accepted to Seminary. There was an envelope from Bethel Seminary in the mailbox, so being odd, i grabbed just it and left the rest of the mail for my wife to find later.
As expected, i was approved for admission. The first step has been taken. Before i can begin though, i will have to establish some form of income, and some form of paying for tuition, but it is good to know that i can, and have to start that process now.
I don't know exactly what those areas of life will look like yet in the fall, but i'm excited to return to studying academically as the knowledge i'll be attaining is of interest to me.
Look for me. I'll be the geek with the book in his hands and laptop on his lap, drinking an ibc rootbeer pretending i'm still cool, all the while knowing i'm far too much of a geek to be cool.
Look for Jenny (the attractive girl in the profile picture), she'll be the one reminding me i'm not an idiot and giving me the joy and happiness of knowing that i'm on the right path.

At 1:45 AM in the morning, I'm not surprised to find a couple of "typos". The story still comes through wondered if you want anyone to comment on typos or not? Other than that, I think this is a good idea but, like references to "my bride" better than "the wife". For a serious comment, I"m looking forward to reading your thoughts and discussing you ideas.
The "typos" are things i'll be glad to edit, but maybe they can be e-mailed instead of being left for public record in the comment section.
I made a couple adjustments for those of you who admitted being "more oldfashioned" in the way i address MY BRIDE.
It's just habbit now to refer to her as wife. I'll try to change this in front of you and in print (but she thinks its fun).
Since how I am referred to seems to be a notable topic, I thought I would include my own thoughts.
Actually, I think it's sort of endearing. To be THE wife means that I am more than A wife...there is no one else who has my place of influence and partnership in the life of the one who, without hesitation, claims me for himself. It is not a title that is held over me, but rather an honor given to me. It is a privilege to be known as THE person he chooses to share this adventure with.
Beyond all the mushiness, although very sincere, I cannot claim to be a "normal girl" and he's right, I do think it's fun.
You're both right and I recognize I'm having generational communication issues. I know there is nothing but LOVE in Nate's (see occassionally I can even refer to him as Nate instead of Nathan) references and feelings for you. Just wanted him to know, and I know he does, that some people don't always see the affection and love in the words. I hope you both know how happy we are that you two found each other!!
