Lydia the folk choir violinist has a boyfriend from out of town. He came to our rehearsal today, and the best part about choir practice was watching him so enchanted with her. He's head over heels. She can't see it all the time, because she's busy drawing the bow across her violin and reading the score, but he sat behind her and smiled the whole two hours. His eyes follow her with innocent, amused curiosity. There's something to that kind of awe; whether it fades with time is of no consequence to the initial amazement that God could create, 'at last,' that person.
Funny things I've heard recently:

I also noticed that Brian (Bryan?) couldn't take his eyes off her...it was sort of delightful to watch.
No, i don't think my parents have discovered that I'm doing this yet. When they do...well we'll see. Maybe I should just tell them about it; then I'd never have to e-mail.
PS. Greg's quote is lovely...even without context...gosh I'm blessed to have you guys in my life.
