Hey everyone!

How are you all? I'm incredibly happy!! I had the best date ever!! But I'll write more on that later.. lol!

I'm listening to the best new CD out there.. Mr. Josh Groban's "Closer". He sounds so grown up! His voice is so much better with age! lol! He is soooo sexy too! ha ha ha! If you want to hear true talent, buy this CD!

Now for my date.. lol. I was so nervous, so when he showed up at 11:45 (on the dot!!! lol) I was impressed! lol.. he was so sweet to me! lol.. so we drove around looking for a place to grab some lunch... and we ended up at this great little place in the south side of Bethlehem, close to Lehigh university. It is this great little Irish resturaunt.. I was pleased with his choice.. lol..so we sat and talked about everything.. from friends, to our political views... to our past relationships.

After lunch, we then went to the movies.. he thought the movie started at 1:10, but it actually started at 2, so we literally sat there and joked around and talked. He told me that he was really hurt in his last relationship, and that it took him such a long time to get over it, because she was so cold and distant towards him... and he looked at me in the eyes, and you know what he said? "You are everything she wasn't... you are open and honest with me.. she wasn't... you are kind and compassionate.. she wasn't.. that's why I like you so much!" aww! isn't that just adorable!?!? and then he kissed me.. *sparks fly* lol. so all during the movie, he held my hand, and just kept on looking at me... it was romantic. lol.

So when the movie was done, we walked out, arms intertwined, talking about the movie... and I brought him home to meet my Dad.. and my Dad and sister like him! so now all that has to be done is for him to meet my mom.. I invited him over for dinner next week, so I'll update with the details!

So now, I'm going to end off with this song... I love it!

Love,

Ash

"When I am down, and oh my soul so weary

When troubles come, and my heart burdened be

Then I am still and wait here in the silence

Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains.

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas.

I am strong when I am on your shoulders.

You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains.

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas.

I am strong when I am on your shoulders.

You raise me up to more than I can be.

(enter choir in background)

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains.

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas.

I am strong when I am on your shoulders.

You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains!

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas!

I am strong when I am on your shoulders.

You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up to more than I can be."
