Update!

So here is an update on my date....

We met at Sugarhouse park at 7.... Sugarhouse is a really big park so the girls ended up in one area of the park and our dates were in a different area both matching the description of where we were meeting...

Anyway so I called my date and they ended up coming over to us since I was completely turned around! so then we had a picnic. we made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and then went to play ultimate frisbee! it was a super cheap date and we all had a blast. Tanner ( my date) even text me the next morning saying we should do it again!

This is very encouraging! I'm excited to ask more guys out! This is going to be a fabulous year I just know it! :)

YAY ME!!!

So I just have to report on my biggest break through... Most of you know I have many insecurities, with that I become shy, and I'm single which means I want to date a lot but unfortunately guys can also be shy or something and they don't like to ask girls out.

So my weekend. I was hanging out with some of my friends in my sorority and one of them (sara) mentioned she wanted to go on a date this next weekend. And I had already made up my mind that I want to date lots. So I said lets go on a group date. We had a frat party to go to later that night so we decided we would find out dates there.

So we make it to the party and we see a group of guys sitting on the bleachers. Sara jokingly said hey lets go talk to them. So I started to head over. She then said wait lets make sure they are the best option. So we look around and they happened to be the only group of guys not talking to girls... so we start heading over. I introduced us and we started talking. I then told them that we needed dates for friday night which one of them are going to be our dates.... We got 4 of the 5 guys to agree to come on a date with us.!!! yay! And I failed to mention they were pretty cute!

Later that evening I also went and introduced myself to two other guys who will be potential dates in the future!! yay me!!!

Its been awhile...

I alway seem to think about my blog when something exciting... or traumatic happens... but what about the rest of the time... well I was thinking about this yesterday as our whole sacrament meeting was on keeping a journal... I felt this urge to start a journal.... again.

Yeah I get this urge every couple of years and it lasts for about a day or two. and then I realize I dont' have anything to write about...

I wake up, go to work, go home, sleep. But when I look deeper... there are lots of things that happen in a day for instance yesterday..

Yes I woke up at 7 AM and joined my ward to go to Music and the Spoken word... I've never been to one before. It was actually really nice and it lasted the perfect amount of time... but then they announced they were going to have a short meeting afterwards to commemorate the 80 years of broadcasting. so our ward decided to stay..... most of the talks were short however there was one guy who stood and seriously thank everyone who has been or will be involved with the choir. OH MY HECK! there comes a point when a standing ovation no longer means anything... For me it was after the 3rd time. And I was a little offended that I wasn't thanked... It felt like everyone one else was! I mean come on! just kidding :)

After he sat down we did get to hear from President Monson so all in all it was worth sitting through the many thanks!

Anyway... Thats all for now! :)

Crazy Crazy Ogden

Hello everyone! So my exciting weekend consisted of running in the Ogden Marathon. I mentioned this at the beginning of my training back in february. Well here is the result of my training. I ran the 5 miles. I stopped for 1 minute due to side cramps but decided it was better just to run through it. So I ran the 5 miles in 45 minutes and 3 seconds.

If you remember at the beginning of my training I couldn't even run a mile! I am just really glad that I did it. Yay me! I am definantly doing this again next year... I met so many great people just waiting for my turn to run. And to know that I did something that was super challenging is just exciting! Today I am burnt sore and can barely walk due to blisters on my feet but its totally worth it! I am officially addicted :)

Someday...

Someday my life will be perfect...
Someday I'll graduate from college....
Someday I'll have the job of my dreams...
Someday I'll meet that perfect guy...
Someday I'll have the perfect house...
With the perfect kids...
with the perfect lawn...

Someday I'll grow up and realize this just isn't going to happen... So Today I will enjoy what I have...My life may not be perfect but its my life. So I should stop thinking "Someday it'll be better" And I should start enjoying what I have. If I'm not satisfied now when am I ever going to be satisfied? Right!!! :)

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!

I can see clearly now the rain is gone!

Well I have some very exciting news for those of you who don't already know. I no longer need contacts or glasses... thats right I was brave and had Lasik Surgery. Its funny I would have thought I would have been super nervous. However I got a very different reaction.

I woke up the day of the surgery just so excited I was practically bouncing off the walls... for those of you that see me regularly I generally do bounce off the walls but not when I'm going to have a laser in my eye! :)

Anyway I go in to eye center and I was just chatting away with everyone I came in contact with... Also a very different reaction for me... as most of you know I am a very quiet person. Anyway, then the happy drugs kicked in... and I couldn't even tell a difference other than I was super tired... which made the actual surgery a little difficult. When they went to fix my left eye I kept falling asleep. YIKES! but no worries the lasers have been perfected enough to detect movement.

So by the next day I woke up with 20/20 vision yay! The only thing I have to deal with now is very dry eyes but at least thats just temporary! :)
