Credits - from the Beginning

First, I'd like to thank:
Jesus, for saving me and being patient with me, over and over again;
Mom, for pursuing my heart and helping me keep my standards high;
Dad, for loving me and sharing his opinions - and for keeping that shotgun loaded; and
Timothy, for being such an incredible man of God and not hesitating to say hard things.

I wouldn't be who I am today without these people. I'm really thankful.

I'll wait until later to write my first note - simply because procrastination is not a good characteristic in a future wife - and that is what I'd be doing, if I wrote to you instead of doing my college algebra homework. So I bid you farewell, for now; but I am really looking forward to starting this new project.
