I went on a date with Stephen yesterday (to the movies) and it went really well. :)

---

He made me a CD. We have insanely similar taste in music. It's still boggling my mind. I've never met someone who likes all the same artists I do. Anyway, on the CD was Caedmon's Call, Avalon, U2, Michelle Tumes, Michael W. Smith, Jars of Clay and Watermark. My favorite Caedmon's Call song on the CD is what I'm going to post here.

He also gave me two dozen roses... Which was a bit much, and I felt like my face was as pink as they were...But that's beside the point. :) Here's the song lyrics. I absolutely fell in love with it, from the first chords.

Dance
Caedmon's Call

My name is Mary and I'm from Greenville, Mississippi
But this is where I live here in this old folk's dormitory
Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us
And she plays that old upright
But Sarah always seems to leave us
When she plays something comes over me
Goes from my head all the way to my feet

And I wanna dance
I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
All night, I wanna dance
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears
'Cause one day I'm gonna dance right outta here

I had three girls and a boy but now one's gone up to Heaven
She's with her papa now 'cause he left for lack of penicillin
The older that I get I figure everyone is dying
They're all dying for a change
I know I'm dying for some action
But days like these Sunday seems so far away
So until then I'm gonna sit right here and here I'll stay

I wanna dance
I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
All night, I wanna dance
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears
And one day I'm gonna dance right outta here

I'd marry you, if you could dance, that's what I said
'Cause where I'm going they'll be dancing everyday

And I'm gonna dance
I'm gonna snap my fingers all night long and dance
I'm gonna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
All night, I'm gonna dance
I'm gonna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
I'm gonna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears
Oh, one day I'm gonna dance right outta here

Yeah, that song ranks itself right up there with a whooooooole lot of Mark Schultz songs that I love.

My mouth hurts from smiling all day.....
