The familar roads are nice except when you roll down your window and it is 103 degrees outside, then it is nice to be here where it is going to be in the 70s for the forseeable future.<BR/><BR/>JBJonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18145435512999512099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112020.post-75858797793511516312007-08-25T00:58:00.000-04:002007-08-25T00:58:00.000-04:00Hi John...Meredith here of Lukas and Meredith. I ...Hi John...Meredith here of Lukas and Meredith. I just wanted to say I love reading your blogs. And I can totally relate to the homesickness thing. We've been in LA for a year and a half, and I still feel as home sick as the day we arrived. We have made incredible friends, and been on incredible adventures, but nothing replaces familiar roads and people who have known you all your life. <BR/>Anyhoo... just wanted to say you're not alone or crazy for feeling the loneliness.<BR/>Also, many prayers and congrats on the pre-wedding activities. You're absolutely right, no 4 hour class can ever save a marriage. Marriage is hard, and it is not always the easiest choice. However, the result of sticking with it, taking the good with the bad, and knowing that THIS person was chosen for you by God, and will stand with you for the rest of their lives, is an amazing thing! I have a favorite quote for you about marriage: (Not perfect, but close to the quote!)<BR/>A happy marriage requires falling in love many, many times...with the same person. <BR/>The moral of the story is that you and Amanda will change, and some years will be much worse, and then much better than others...but you stick with it, and you remember your history...WHY you proposed in the first place...and you ask God for a lot of help. <BR/>Ok, there will be no charge for my counseling session!<BR/>Peace and prayers and hugs to you and Amanda!<BR/>:)<BR/>MeredithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
