Hey Hannah!
Thank you for sharing your poem. It was really good, and I think you are very right. Love is choice, not an emotion.

I also enjoyed your pictures in your last couple of entries. You are a great photographer! (I know I've said that before :-) ) What kind of camera do you use? I'm gonna be getting a new one soon, an SLR kinda like my dad's. I'm excited! Your pictures are always great so I was wondering which camera you have.

To answer your question - Mike is a guy I've been talking with, along with several other people, in an online discussion. It's basically a debate over Christianity. Mike is an atheist and all the rest of us in the discussion are Christians. It is REALLY difficult to know what to say to him because he has decided he doesn't want to believe no matter what anybody says. Soo... that's Mike.

I hope you have a great weekend and I'll talk to ya soon!
Love, Ashley

PS: I saw you said you went to the Short Pump Mall... I remember driving past Short Pump on our way to Williamsburg last year! It's not TOO many hours away from here....

That was great, Hannah! I feel so.. i don't know really.. sad? irritated? annoyed? disappointed?...when I hear those types of sayings from all these young girls. the impression of "love" is so different from what it really is, and it's so sad!! I also saw above that ya'll are reading "when God writes your love story" --i'm also reading it. i love it. :) i just wish there were a way to *make* everyone realize what they're doing isn't right or true and get them to do something different.... but, alas! not possible.
