New Years part 2

(This pic was taken one week into us dating.. I'm 16 and johns 17)

Soooo for some reason I must of written too much or something

I don't know but it wouldn't let me write anymore so bare with me :)

Soo where were we?

Oh yea

But...

So here I am sitting on his bed as he's telling me that I'm the one..

I was so smitten

Well I am still

Cuz hello don't you see how

HOT he is??!!

Do people still use hot?

Is that "cool" these days?

Boy I'm outta the loop

anywho.. Back at the ranch

He gives me a ring... A promise ring... Boy did I pick a winner!!

It was my birthstone

I still have it and cherish back to that day

Oh memories

We have soo many memories 

This blog is going to be that memories..

Both new and old

We have so many wonderful things to show and to teach

John and I attended our Sunday night bible study together and it's titled

Love, sex and dating

Haha .. Yes at church the "s" word is used.. We have lots of new

Young people

Weird to think we aren't considered young :/

And we'll most of them are single

So we were asked to attend 

Boy this dating world sure has changed

People don't know how to date anymore

It seemed so easy with John 

It wasn't like we had to force it to make it work

Ok our relationship was not perfect..

I was in high school and thought the grass was greener on the other side

So we took a two week break

And than a 3 day break a couple years later

But all was before we were married

There was things we needed to work out

Looking back, I think it made us the power couple

We are today

Trust me.. Communication is key!!

Ok that's all I will ever talk about on the bad stuff... I don't like going there

It's kids stuff ;P

So back to our study ...

There's this really awesome book that really everyone should read..

It's called the Bible..

And you know what 

It has some pretty cool stuff...

No it's "old time stuff" it happened

(There will be several times I will talk about scriptures, God and the Bible,

This is who I am, if you don't like it or agree than I apologize

But this is my story.. My journal, I'm just letting you in, you don't have 

To stay #justsaying)

Anyways...

This is the basis of our lesson:

LOVE

Is patient

Is kind.

Does not envy,

Does not boast,

Is not proud.

Does not dishonor others,

Is not self seeking,

Is not easily angered,

Keeps no record of wrongs.

Does not delight in evil

But rejoices with the truth.

Always protects,

Always trusts,

Always hopes,

Always perseveres.

-1 Corinthians 13:4-7

If your in a relationship or going into one,

Please please

Live by these words 

They are very powerful 

They are true

They work

I'm signing off for tonight, ill leave you with those words of wisdom

-A

New year new projects

Hi! My name is Alisa Guthrie 

And this is my story...

I've decided to start a log because ...

I don't think everything should be put on

Facebook

And there's not enough pictures to post on

Instagram

Don't get me wrong I do love all the wonderful technology

But really??!! 

I've always wanted to do a journal..

And we'll may be this could be it? 

I think so..

Doesn't matter if I have 0 readers or 100 or

Whatever.. This is my story

Here it goes...

I was born in a small town, and I still live in my small town

I LOVE My small town!! I probably wouldn't go to far..

I'm an athlete..

Well kinda..

I used to be, I WAS pretty good as some would say..

Than I got out of High School...

Well wait bacccckkkkk up!

I'm getting ahead of myself and I said I'd tell you my story..

Well Hello!!! 

The best part of my life was high school.. Oh boy did I love it!!

I met the love of my life there :)

Boy was he a heart throb!! 

Ok so you know that one boy that EVERYBODY thinks is just the cutest thing??!!

But

NOBODY and I mean NOBODY

Thinks that HE will EVER be into YOU??!!

Yep that was John..

He was on the baseball team and I was on the softball team

(I could tell this story over and over, it reminds me of the Notebook)

Well obviously I noticed him but when I first noticed him he had a girlfriend

And she was NOT pretty at all! In mind I was all

REAlly??!! You like her??

She was a twin 

Maybe he wanted to date a twin

He is a twin

Well I'm not a twin

Crap??!!

Well, whatever there went my chances right??!! 

Well than one day I'd say two months later..

As my friend Taryn and I were walking to the locker room after school 

She says

"You'll never guess who likes you??"

Remember people this was high school

I was all

Who??

John Guthrie!!!

Oh boy did I get butterflies and whatever kind of animal that could jump up and down in

My tummy??!! I was like noooo wayyy

Ok more high school stuff

She said

Well Daniel told me passing notes in science

Haha
Well I grew up in a strict home
And I mean strict!!!
Well I was 16 and well no boys were aloud to call me
My mom was crazy... So I wouldn't put it past her, I would of felt sorry
For any boys calling my house
Thank goodness Taryn knew that.. Well she had passed that info to Daniel
And gave him my NUMBER!!??
I was like seriously??!!
Ooh man!
Boy oh boy did I wait for him to call..
Than on march 22 a Friday.. He called!!!
Well lets step back HE didn't call. When I answered the phone,
It was a girl that said
"Hi, is this Alisa?"
I said "yes"
(Very confused)
She said "hold on"
Than John came on the phone!!!!
Boy did we talk for hours
Literally
Our phones died..
Every night!
This was all before call waiting.. So boy did we have to share the phones
Ugh
What a mess!
I eventually had to tell my mom one day
You need to get off the phone because this really hot guy is going
To be calling me and I don't want the phone to busy !!
True story!
On March 29, 2002
We made it official
John said these words I will never forget
" I know this sounds gay, but will you go out with me"
Awwwww high school love!!!
Who would of thought almost 11 years later and lots of trials and errors
That we would be here today
Honestly I didn't...
Seriously
How many high school sweethearts do you know??
Actually I know 6 .. Lol (mostly from johns class)
But to this day.. He said from the moment he saw me that I was the one..
Really??!!
At 17 he knew. Don't get me wrong.. I love him with all my heart but who really knows at 17?
He bought me a promise ring 3 months into our relationship
Telling me I was the one
(By the way, he bought the ring with his graduation money!!!)
Yes he is that sweet!!
But
