I know I should have thought about things while we were still dating, but I didn't think things would get serious so soon. Colby's talking about marriage and kids, and asking me how I would feel if I were to have children raised in the Jewish faith. I know it goes against a lot of what I have been taught about unequal yoking and everything, but I wonder how unequal are we?
It's too early to talk about marriage. I don't plan on getting married for another three or four years. The year 2014 is a good year to me, and who knows what could happen between me and Colby. I love him, yes, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to get married. I mean, maybe he'll get tired of being a gentleman and waiting to have sex until marriage, and he'll go off and find a girl who will give it up. Who knows what may happen in the next four years?
It seems stupid to end a good relationship based on what may or may not happen in our future... but at the same time, I know that what happens now determines what will happen in the future. Say for example, will I miss my non-existent chance with Chris Rice by being with Colby?
Too much thought for the morning. Must pack my suitcase now. Goodbye Nashville, Hello Chicago.

Annie, just want to say that I miss you a lot and I hope our paths cross again one day. I really do.
Secondly, I've always believed that love between two people knows not religion, race, gender, or background. If you love someone, who they are or what they believe don't seem to matter as much. Though, I'm no expert in matters of the heart. I'm still trying to figure out my own.
Thirdly, I am staunchly against the idea that relationships should lead to marriage or else they're a waste of time. If your relationship leads to your marriage, then that's great! But if it doesn't it will probably hurt, but you'll have learned and grown as a person from having truly connected with another person. And if you end up going in different paths, you've still left a mark on him and he on you.
Which is what truly matters concerning human relations. The impact from our time spent together, no matter how brief.
Again, I miss you and hope you're doing well! Sorry for the long comment! :P
