Who is Peter??

Well, Peter is a special guy in my life:-) I'm hoping that we can use my blog to give my family and friends who live far away a chance to get to know him better. Most of you know about him, but you don't know him.

The scoop:
We met at HSLDA last summer, (he came to work as a legal assistant). We got to know each other over AOL IM believe it or not. We both were working late often last summer, so we started chatting as we worked.
At first we had very general conversations. Then we began to ask more and more questions about each other, our families, faith, and we shared and told silly stories. After a while Peter started inviting me to things like a hiking trip with a group of friends, his Bible study, tubing down the Potomac, etc. We really enjoyed each other and always seemed to have a great time together.
We have since realized that we like each other and are now working to build a friendship and seeking the Lord and the counsel of parents and friends about the future of our relationship. I want to include you, especially my siblings, in any way I can.

About Peter:
Peter's one of 7 kids, and yep, he was homeschooled. He attended Lord Fairfax (a local community college out here) for 2 years, and he graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in History, minor in English.
He leads a Bible study each week in Leesburg, not too far from Purcellville.
He's really tall:-) I'll try and get some pictures up soon.
He loves to read, he likes to bike and hike, he likes music, he enjoys contra dancing, (we've gone several times), he enjoys being with friends, he's discovered that he likes nertz, and so much more.
Feel free to ask away, and hopefully we'll get some fun stories up soon.

Peter will probably want to add some thoughts, to all that I listed above. Stay tuned...

Happy 2007

Yes, it is 2007, and for the first time this year I saw snowflakes last night! It's been very warm in Virginia this winter, and I have to be honest, I was thrilled to see the flakes. Such a picture of God's unique design, and a picture of His beauty.

My Christmas and New Year's were fun and busy. I didn't make it home for Christmas Day, but Jeanette, Jeremy and Jessica, and myself did manage a trip home for the New Year. It was busy, but fun. We all played lots of games, and enjoyed being together.
My little brothers are getting so tall! They are little men now; no longer the babies I used to carry around.

Work's fine and busy. The conference season has started and that is keeping me on my toes.

That's it for now.
