• I forgot to put an update last week...my dad did end up getting a horse!  He bought one off of a guy up in Kingman.  He went and picked it up last week on Tuesday.  I haven't seen the horse, or a picture, so far...but they said it is a black and white paint mare named Dakota.  I think 7 years old.  Sounds perfect for what my dad was looking for.

  This morning I worked at the office and then helped a friend move.  She moved from one apartment to another one a few miles down the road.  The nice thing is that even though they are so close together, the new one is SOOOO nice in comparison.  She has worked really hard to be able to afford the new place and I'm really happy for her.

  Last night I went with a lady from church to a meeting regarding the Operation Shoebox ministry at church.  I am going to be helping with that more this year, and this meeting was pretty neat to go to and see what different ideas people have and things like that.  Very cool. 

  A WEIRD thing happened to me this week.  I found it very upsetting, but I guess I'm over it, although still sort of weirded out.  I may have mentioned that I've been seeing a guy from church.  I started seeing him a little in November, and then ever since then.  The guy is very nice, a strong Christian man, and is very nice.  The problem I've had with him is that he is very pushy.  He wants to know everything about me, and be involved in all parts of my life.  I told him right up front that I didn't want to jump into anything, etc.  He understands that but just by nature he is a pushy guy and some days he just can't seem to help himself.  Anyway, the other day we were talking and he mentioned that he had made a Xanga account one day after seeing the Xanga page on my computer screen.  He was apparently going to try to find my account and leave a comment.  That creeps me right out.  I had already told him that I blog,but that it is private and that I didn't want to share it with people, other than just bits and pieces that I might tell them or read to them about.  He said that he understood, but then now, months later I found out that he had created the account.  At the time I had only been seeing him for a few weeks, if that.  That just really bothers me.  I do understand that he is not a malicious person in any way, and at the time, in his mind, my Xanga was just sort of like an alternate Facebook and he thought it would be fun to leave a comment.  He does understand now that this is my version of a journal and that he is not welcome to read it right now.  He felt really badly about it and went to try and delete his account.  He couldn't, because he couldn't remember his login and password info and had deleted the confirmation email.  I really and truly believe that he would not invade and even if he had the information, he wouldn't visit my site, but the whole thing really kind of dumbfounded me.  It was weird.  I don't quite know what to make of it.  I did tell him that while I believe him about where he was coming from now, that if I had found out about it months ago, or if he had in fact gone to my site and commented, that I would not have seen him again because that would have been completely out of line when I had already told him it was private.  He was horrified by that and apologized repeatedly.  I still don't know what to make of it.  I believe him, but at the same time, if he is tempted to do that kind of thing.... I just don't want to deal with it.  Maybe time to cut my losses?  Maybe time to forgive and move on and not worry about it?  What to do???
