August 4th 1993
…I’m going to be starting my second year at community college. I love it so much more than high school. I think making your own class hours makes all the difference for me. I met a guy last spring named Dan. Oh boy! I could’ve fallen for him in a big way. Chin length hair, bright blue eyes, smart, two different color converse shoes (black & white with neon green laces) and a love for Historical movies (I met him in Film as Lit.) He has the most kissable looking lips – God! But he has a girlfriend named Jennifer (she’s an artist too). I felt like telling him he’s with the wrong Jen - couldn’t do it. He gave me his # and I gave him mine but neither of us has called all summer. I wonder if I’ll see him this semester, I hope so…

…Tonight is the last night of the meteor shower. I watched it on Wednesday night, I made a little wish on each falling star. It’s silly, I know – but you never know what can happen. Dan finally called me, we talked for a while and he asked me to go to a party tonight, but I am leaving for Colorado. Total BUMMER! I promised to send him a post card from vacation and maybe we could have lunch or something when the semester starts, I can’t wait. I just love him!...

Dan asked me to marry him, I said yes.

It is truly strange to think I’ll be a married woman in less than two weeks. People keep asking me if I’m nervous. I can only say that I am excited about being married and worried that I don’t have everything finished. Tomorrow night Dan and I are going to the church to meet with the woman who is marrying us and then we are going to buy our rings. I am too excited to sleep.

Dan helped me plant some sunflowers, morning glories and daisies a few weeks ago. They’ve started to grow, this week some of them peeped their heads out of the dirt. It’s all very exciting!

This may be my favorite post of all time. You rock.
Beautiful. I admire people who have the discipline to have a diary. I kept one when I was travelling but it got stolen in Spain and I never took it up again ... but now I see how wonderful it can be. You might have inspired me! :)
That is so cool. I love looking through my old journals too. Someday I'll have to post more from them (I've done a couple before showing my handwriting and some silly poetry I wrote in high school).
There's really no discipline, there's whole chunks of my life missing from my written history. You can't feel guilty about it. Sometimes the lack of writing says more than what you did write.
Nancy, Your old poetry books inspired me to dig out my old sketch books/journals and reread them and post this today.
that's the sweetest thing i've seen all day. thanks for sharing it.
