Wow, I haven't checked this thing in ages...kinda funny that I found this post.
I don't think I've really played CS consistently since my freshman year of college. Since then, I've graduated, I'm married, I live in western NY state (near Buffalo) and soon my wife and I are moving to...
Hi all, it's been awhile.
I just ask that you keep my girlfriend and me in your prayers. I've received the go-ahead from her parents to ask her to marry me, and I plan on asking within the next month. Pray that God may use this time to grow us closer to each other, and that the devil may be...

GO ASTROS!!!
