I'm here to update yall on the situation I've been in with girls and such. And the trouble has been obvious with my thread "Highschool" and I'm here to tell you...I'm very lucky to have found this girl I'm currently going out with.
Her name is Raven and she was my ex-girlfriend from 3 years ago when she was my next door neighbor and we both lived on the westside of town. We had only broken up because we were moving, but now...I made the decision to ask her out and now we are holding a distance relationship and the great thing is it only takes 30 to 40 minutes to get to her.
Yesterday, I threw a party at my house and it was somewhat of a bummer because she was only there for 2 1/2 hours and her controllive father wanted her home. But the time we spent, especially when she found out she had to leave at 8:30, I held her hand and she never let go. My dad was very kind to try and convince her parents for Raven to stay longer, but it was as if they didn't want to hear it. So, we gave each other a hug right infront of them, but it was almost uncontrollably that I held her by the arms and kissed her on the cheek. Then, me and my father walked back into the house and I continued to host the party as all my friends had fun playing spin the bottle and etc. while I played judge. They asked if I wanted to join, but I said "No. I'm going to stay loyal to Raven. I'll save my kiss for her." During the party she gave me a great photo of herself and in return I had given her a teddy bear that I had brought for her and now that photo sits on my dressed in my room.
Today, we talked to each other four times on the phone. And for three weeks streight we've talked on the phone everyday. And everytime we always have something to talk about and we're always there for one another. We can talk about anything with one another and we don't feel uncomfortable. Me and her have total trust and right now I feel so lucky to have her. She's pretty, she's a tad taller than me, she's caring, she's not the deceiving type, she's in great shape, and she has had a crush on me ever since we met over three years ago. And here I am beginning to love her. Here I am realizing what kind of a girl I have. She is perfect and my dad has told me several times how hard it is to find the perfect one. Well, I'm beginning to believe she was under my nose the entire time. Her mother even told her the same thing...that her true love would be under her nose. And although it's too soon to say whether we'll be together for the rest of our lives...it isn't hard at all to imagine it. Raven makes me feel better about myself and she's told me the same. She makes me feel wanted and I'm glad to know I make her feel the same. We are completely there for one another and there is nothing for me to worry about during this relationship besides the decisions her father makes on what she can do while she lives under his roof. Until then...the two of us are really dedicated in staying with one another and the feeling I have when I talk to her and hang out with her is almost undescribable and it's a great feeling.
And today, on the phone...she confessed this..."You don't have to say it if you don't want to...but...I love you." And after that...I smiled and thanked god that I had a girl who would always be there for me. A girl who loves everything I do. The Alamo, drawing, writing, running...she's there for me every step of the way. I realized this and told her the same over the phone when she called back. And we talked about things. Passionate and amazing things and how I would never push her to do anything and how she would never do the same.

P.S. Any advice or comments are most appreciated. I'm glad to share this with all of you. I'm just so happy right now.

Hey everyone,
Me and Raven have made it 1 year and 4 1/2 months. We're staying strong and her parents are beginning to lighten up to me.
I've just began my senior year on the 7th and have been really busy lately. But, I thought I'd drop by and update you all as I haven't had much activity around here lately. I've also officially began work on my Alamo nove, which is coming along greatly and I believe is some of my best writing.
Attached is a few photos of me and Raven recently. Just thought I'd stop by and say hello. I hope all is well with all of you.
A day in the sun.
And a day out of it. lol
All the best,
Wade

Hey Young-un! I've been wondering where you have been! Is Raven keeping you so busy that you don't have time to come and see us anymore?

One of my daughter's good friends got married a year ago to a boy she had been going with since they were 12! All through high school, college, masters program, then they both got jobs in Charleston. She was 26 at the time of the wedding. A year before, the girl's older sister married a boy she had dated off and on since they were 14. You just never know!!! |

Wade,
It is great to hear from you and I always love seeing the pictures of you and Raven. Sounds like y'all make each other very happy. Very important in a relationship. I have been married to my husband for 30 years now and I love him more with each passing year. I wish the same for you and Raven.
Even though we miss hearing from you, school is so much more important and CONGRATS on the illustrations. Let us know which books will have your illstrations in them.
Love,
Kay |

Hey everyone,
Sorry that my activity here on the messageboard has been seldom as school has been keeping me into the books. Good news is that there are some new Alamo illustration commissions for a few future books. So, I'm extremely excited. Also, I saw Raven tonight as it was her best friends birthday and we went and played Paintball and had a great time. Here's some photos from today and this evening. Tommorow is 8 and a half months that the two of us have been together.
Anyway, take care and a belated Happy New Years!
~Wade

Well, me and Raven have been together for over 4 months now. And I get to see over this Saturday, so I'm excited. She is such a sweet girl.
She recently sent me a necklace so I could wear the committment ring around my neck. As of now, I'm raising money to get her a ring as well.

Everything is going great. We live across town from one another, a 30 to 40 minute car ride, but that's no problem. Her mother is cutting off her phone time so she can only talk to me over the weekend, which I have to adapt to as I spoke to her everyday during Summer. And the lord only knows when I'll see her again. But, we share something extremely close. And I don't say this lightly when I say I believe I will marry this girl. A committment ring isn't given to you lightly without alot of thought, trust, and love behind it. But Raven totally surprised me with it over two weeks ago. During her party, I brought her a bunch of roses...and before the night was over, she said she wanted me to have this, the ring. And Sunday, we shared many more memories. Every single one brings a smile to my face and warmth to my heart.
Here are a few photos from Sunday I thought I'd share.
Tell me what yall think.

 Wow! A committment ring! Well this is getting pretty serious! Sounds like you've had a wonderful summer with memories you can always cherish.

Let us know how your new school year starts out.

This Sunday, I'm going to see Raven again. She's having a party and she told me I was at the top of the list. I can only imagine it will be nothing but an amazing time. Especially with a great girl as her. I'll tell yall how it goes.

Also, Raven and her mom agree...that I look like a younger Christian Bale. Who does he play in the film "New World" with Wes Studi? |

Thanks Rose. I appreciate the kind words and the comments made by all. And I understand completely. I just try and put everything into perspective. Thanks again everyone.

P.S. School starts August 8th...I'll be a Junior. |

Wade,
It's so nice to see you happy! Raven is beautiful, and you don't look too bad, yourself! Especially when you smile. It makes me glad when I hear of happy things instead of when folks grump and grouse all the time. I don't mean here on the Message Board, but you know what I mean — some folks are just negative all the time. You've always been positive, even when you were sad. That's encouraging.
Best of wishes to you both!

Thanks Caitlin and Kaylynn. Raven just got back from a week's vacation from Orlando (the themeparks) with her family and one of the detailed adventures with her mom was that they both got temporary tattoos. Raven got a temporary tattoo on her lower back that said "I love Wade." Now, since she got it and since she called this morning, all that remains of that tattoo is "Wade." Just thought it was a cute, funny, and sweet.
And Kaylynn, as the Beatles said it so well, "All you need is love." |
