Dates

I never thought i would be the girl that guys would take on dates. 
Now let me explain that statement. 
I watched my sister grow up being asked to every school dance. When i was in high school i waited to be asked all my friends would tell me how they got asked but i was never asked :( so i've had a hard time.
Since i broke up with Tim...i have been asked out on SO many dates and i have a theory behind this.
I am trying to become the person i want to marry. by becoming healthy and spiritual. I'm diving into my lessons for Gospel Doctrine, I am going to make it a goal to go to the temple at least once a week. I am trying to be a healthy person. Sara and i went to winco for the first time and i fell in love! 
ANYWAY so back to my theory, i am happy with who i am and for the first time in years i love myself for me and not for who i want to be. I'm finally becoming who i want to be and i'm realizing those that stay with me are those who are meant to be in my life and who want to be in my life.


So anyway going on dates, my goal is to date around, when the Lord has prepared the guy for me i'll be ready, but in the mean time why not have some fun.


Monday was a stressful day for me! so finals are next week and i forgot....okay well lets me honest i didn't forget. i procrastinated like ALL my homework for the semester so i sat and worked on all of it! i'm almost all done with all classes and i couldn't be more thrilled!
Tuesday Kenny and i decided to have a break from homework and we made cookies. apparently my chocolate chip cookies don't turn out as good when i have a distraction..but i guess that is to be expected. However yesterday i had a friend from work call me and we talked for 45 minutes. Now let me tell you what impresses me about this HE CALLED ME! no he didn't text me or email me or even facebook me. HE CALLED ME! Boy was i surprised!

Now as you remember i'm in a new ward which opens up new opportunities to meet guys. In other words...open up the ward directory and take your pick! Apparently the Elders Quorum president had the same idea. He called me up and asked me on a date. Again he called me up!


So here is how the rest of my week pans out
thursday i am going swing dancing with kenny. I'm really excited!
Friday i am having a group night with Sara, Rachel, and Tom.
Saturday - Sara is going through the temple on saturday, so there is a celebration for that. I have a wedding and then a date with Justin from my work. We are going to nicklecade and then taking me to a surprise dinner.
Sunday- I'm headed down to richfield with a Kenny - a girl from his mission is giving her homecoming
Monday- I'm leaving this open to go to FHE, also sara starts her new shift at work so we are going to start our exercising program as well as go to FHE together. 
Tuesday i am going out with Eric, from my ward. we are going on his motorcycle to go horseback riding and then a little bit later going swing dancing. 


I'M SO EXCITED!
  
So i'm finally learning what my dad meant by college will be the best years of your life! i'm so grateful for the part everyone has played in my life! 

Beautiful Mess...

I was awakened this morning to the song "Beautiful Mess" for those of you who don't know it is a country song. I felt like it fits my life right now, its kinda messy but i still think it is beautiful! This week has been a crazy week. As i said in my last post i am enjoying the world of dating, but at the same time i have met this INCREDIBLE guy and am trying to take things slow with him, yet at the same time i don't want to. Since just out of my break-up i feel the need to be assure that i am okay and over things with him, before i start making something serious with someone else. Fortunately this incredible guy understands and wants the same thing! it makes life a little bit easier. However in the mean time we have gone on many date, we went out on Tuesday and watched the movie Cars 2, we didn't exactly finish it but it was still a great day, on Wednesday i went with a couple of friends to his work on, on his break, and enjoyed some ice cream, on Thursday we had a "play date" (my planning of course) and went to the park to be a little kid, then Friday he took me out on my lunch break for work. (i worked all day so i got a lunch break it was very nice) and then Saturday night/ Sunday morning we watched a meteor shower. So over all its been a great week.
This week i also got the chance to reconnect with some friends from high school. My trio was brought together, although one was at work so we bombarded her and had a catch up session.
I have been pondering a lot this week about my lesson for sunday school. I teach about King Benjamin, one of my favorite prophets in the scriptures because everyone loved him and he loved everyone! I don't teach for 2 weeks because next week is stake conference so i plan on taking my lesson to the temple and saying "Lord what do i need to teach" i am a little nervous to be teaching adults, i know i'm good at teaching kids, however YSA's are not suppose to be kids. But i know with the help of the Lord everything will work out.


So like i said before right now my life is a beautiful mess :) 
Beautiful Mess
I hope that you all have a fantastic week! 

change...

well its been awhile since i've posted thanks to the fact that i forgot my own email...oops! but this morning i was just guessing around and got it. 
Okay so where to start. about 2 weeks ago i entered the world of dating again. Although it was not exactly what i WANTED to do it was what i needed to do. 
Life had gotten  a little stressful and i needed to worry most about taking care of myself, and trying to take care of someone else at the same time was "keeping me up at night" so to speak.
Finals are coming up and i'm more then ready! i just want the semester to end and bring on summer! i'm going to look at going full time at MACU and maybe try my hand at being a loan officer. 
Dating life...has been AWESOME! in high school i wasn't asked out...at all! i always did the asking. However now that i'm back in the game...i'm receiving attention i never thought i'd get! and it is a great feeling to know that i love/like myself enough for someone else to love/like me.
Thats pretty much whats been going on!
OH! except for the fact that i got a calling! i am a gospel doctrine teacher! i'm excited but nervous! but i know the Lord will help out :)
