Shelby's Family

Shelby's parents are really nice people. They live in a town about 20 miles outside the city. I rode in a separate car than Shelby did. She thought it was weird that I wouldn't ride with her. I'm still trying to break myself of these habits. I can ride alone in a car with girls and not start doing something I'm not supposed to do. I know that. So why is it that I feel weird if I do it? And I'm still worried about people seeing me go to the movies, or riding alone in a car with her. Shelby's parents used to be church planters. They settled into the town they're in now about 5 years ago, and they're working in a church there, but her dad has a secular job now. He works as a consultant for a marketing firm. I have no idea what that means. But her mom is teaching in a public school. I don't get why a Christian would want to work in a public school. Shelby and I talked about that for a while. She said that her mom feels like God called her to work there, and that she's being a light for the students and teachers. She even is the sponsor for a Bible Club at the school. I didn't know that public schools allowed Bible clubs. Shelby has a younger brother, and he's supposed to graduate school this year. Kind of a goofy kid. But we had a good time. I guess it was mostly because I got to be with Shelby. And on a weeknight too. I really like her. In another month, I'll be able to tell her that I like her. I'm still trying to follow that book on dating that I read. Sometimes it's hard, because that's not how Shelby does it. I don't understand why she doesn't do it that way. She promised that she would read the book for me this week, and Saturday she's going to tell me what she thinks about it.
