Adventures in the Singles Ward

One of the great things about being single is the fact that I get to be apart of a very exclusive group... The Singles Ward. I know most people don't enjoy their experience and some are glad they have never had to endure the singles ward. I on the other hand really enjoy it... mainly because I love awkward moments... especially watching them!

So church on sunday was no exception to these awkward moments... Justin could give you more detail since it happened to him but since I found it highly entertaining I thought I would share.

There is a girl in the ward who ever since she found out that Nikkole and Justin are in fact related and NOT dating, has been trying to pry her way into Justin's life!! This girl is moving so Sunday was her last attempt to leave an impression on Justin... She left an impression alright!

So it started in Sunday School... Justin happened to have a seat open next to him so of course she sits down next to thats pretty natural and nothing too bad.... then Sacrament meeting came. She sat next to Justin and at first it was a normal distance... but then through out the meeting she kept getting closer and closer... she probably would have been more comfortable on his lap instead of being squished next to him... so Justin trying not to be rude leans forward... So she puts her arm around the back of the bench... and finds any excuse to be close to him. Then at the end of the meeting she is saying goodbye. And let me just add this little note... we are friends but not the type of friends that hug or that she would have hugged goodbye. However since Justin is my brother... yesterday we became close friends Anyway so she gets in one last attempt and comes up with an excuse to hug him...it was all I could do to keep from laughing.

I'm sorry it was rather funny... unfortunantly my writing skills are not what they should be so I probably didn't do the story justice at all but let me just tell you we were laughing about that one all day! Its funny the things you witness in a singles ward!

That is too funny. Poor girl. I hope she's cute. At least that will lessen the sting of rejection. Rejection sucks. :)
Oooo, I gotta a funny awkward moment for you.
When Nikkole went with me to the gym! Ha! It was so funny, I'm already laughing. So, this really stupid looking guy with a dorky mohawk walks up to Nikkole out of the blue and says something about recognizing her from church or something.
Nikkole simultaniously turns her head away and says "yeeah" like his image just got caught in her throat and kinked her neck.
It was a major 'NO WAY FOOL, I KNOW YOU DID NOT JUST TRY TO TALK TO ME!' Then she just kept her eyes to the floor and let him figure it out.
He smiles sheepishly over at me all awkward, like "Oh."
I think he wanted help. Sorry, I can't help ya pal. Anyway, I was doing leg extensions and was in no position to reply or say anything. And I was trying not to laugh because I really need air when I'm doing leg extensions.
So the dude gets the hint and walks away and I finish my set of 10. I just busted out laughing. I asked Nikkole what the hell was that?
Apparently he was some loser from her ward. She says he is really weird and into porn, and every bit as stupid as he looked. So don't anybody read this and feel too badly about it. It was truely a funny thing to witness.
Oh, so funny.... I'm still laughing.

Hi Crystal,
It is so funny that girls think they have to throw themselves at someone to get attention. It is very awkward when it is you, but funny watching someone else. So sorry for her, she is feeling desperate. I am so happy that you guys have each other. I know you are having fun. Love ya

Oh the joys of the singles ward!! How funny! Singles wards can be a series of awkward moments! I guess you just laugh them off and move on to the next one!

I am glad I skipped the Single Ward phase of life.

Was the girl at least cute? If she was, good for Justin. If she wasn't.... awkward.
